Got my new bike (Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike – 2013)
I am so happy. Today I drove down to Rutland Cycling to get Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike bike. So far I am very pleased with it. So far only done a very short 5 mile cycle on it. I was hoping to do a longer cycle. But it took me a good 30 minutes. Just to take the pedals off. So I could put my clipless pedals on it. But I am sure the bike and my bum, will soon get to know each other very well indeed!!

Just ordered a PBK Team Long Sleeve Skinsuit
I have just gone and ordered myself a PBK Team Long Sleeve Skinsuit from probikekit.com. It only cost me £84.14. Done from a full price of £99.00. Since I had a discount code I could use, that give me 15% off.
Also can’t remember when I last got myself a new sexy Lyca skinsuit, so it was about time I got a new one. Plus after not having a bike in over a week. I need something to help cheer me up!!
Of course, it also give you lot something to look forward to! Seeing hot photos of myself wearing it!! 🙂
