It was very sunny today and I had a good road ride planned for it with two CycleChat forum members – Paul (PaulB) and Martin (goodspeed). Here’s a rough summary of the route: Hebden Bridge, Oxenhope, Stanbury, Scar Top, Oakworth, Slippery Ford, Laycock, Redcar (Keighley) Tarn, Steeton, Silsden, Brunthwaite, Nudge Hill, Addingham, Footbridge over the [...]
It was a beautiful sunny day and Lisa was going up to do some gardening at her mother’s home in Dodd Naze, above Hebden Bridge. She asked if I wanted to walk up with her and I said okay – I’d do it as ‘the long way round’ to the shops! (A couple of hours [...]

I’ve pinched the back wheel off my Basso for now, and put my Cannondale’s 10-speed cassette on it. It means that I have a bike to ride while I’m servicing the Basso. When that work is complete, I’ll put the Basso’s new 9-speed cassette on the wheel and move it back to the Basso, leaving [...]
