Nearly Back to Normality

I haven't managed to find the time lately to update my blog as I was away on holiday and then I started  new job down in St Annes and I turned forty so I have been busy partying.  Bike still in bits in the garage but it is now my number one priority and it is a bank holiday weekend.  Going to rust-proof the frame over the weekend and then I can start assembling it next weekend. I have now got my wheels too, hand-built by Craig at Hardie Bikes.

Not managed to get much cycling in these last two weeks because I have been in St Annes.  The week before that though was tremendous.  We had a weeks holiday in Skye and I managed to cycle everyday.  Thirty to forty miles a day which was great and the weather was good too.  Cycled down to Portree from our cottage in Uig one day, the rest of the days I had a circuit that took me over the Quiraing, it was tough going as it was quite windy a few of the days.  Still, I really enjoyed it.  I will keep the blog more up-to-date in the coming weeks.
