At long last taken my bike to the local bike shop for a much needed service. It’s at least going to need the break break fixing, new back wheel and tire. Also half of the gears don’t work. I can see it costing between £100 to £150 to get it all fixed. Saying that, that’s not too bad, since it’s never had a service in the whole time I’ve had it. Must have done at least 7,000 miles since getting it. Just hope that Terry Wright Cycles do a good job of fixing it. Can’t wait to get it back. Since I now have less than 20 miles to go, then I will have done 4,000 miles this year 🙂

Today I went a great cycle from Killearn to Rowardennan on the east side in Loch Lomond. I may have lived in Killearn well over half my life, but it’s the first time I have ever cycled to Rowardennan, most times, I just cycled to Balmaha and turned back, mainly since just after Balmaha, they’re is a 15% hill to get up. Also the road just ends at Rowardennan. So it’s like cycling up a road to no where. Just got a car park for the people walking up Ben Lomond and hotel.

I spent most of the day giving my End to End cycle website the biggish updated, it’s ever had. So please can you check it out and let me know what you think of it, by posting comments here. To the left you can see a screen dump of what it use to look like and what it looks like now.
In other news, very sad news. One of my next door neighbours dogs has died. So spend a good number of hours with her, checking that she is OK. It’s never nice having to say good bye to a dog, he was about 13 and half years old.
