Mister P... 6 bikes in a morning !

I've been fitting a nice new Thomson stem, it looks lovely. A fairly easy job, just requiring a little filing of the steerer tube to stop is bottoming out on the pre-load cap as the Thomson stem has a fractionally lower stack height than the stem it replaced.

Went out for a couple of hours pootle after lunch. Started doing a bit of practise on a couple of sections that I feel I always lose speed on but decided it was too nice a day to take it seriously so went and sat by a lake in the sun for a bit, which was nice.
Edit - oh, and 'did my bit' for trail maintenance while I was out too.

Avoiding work and browsing the internet.

Talking to someone in a "cycling organisation" about a trail development at Location X. Fingers crossed it's going to be good.
Chasing a landowner for a meeting as he wanted some design advice and not sure if the other guy I was talking to about it has managed to sort one out. Bit of a worry as it was back in early September.
Emailing an old associate who I've recently bumped into again about the set up of a MTB group in the NW and attending the next meeting.
Tried to work out which digs I can go to this month and what time I need to keep spare for the family.
Checked my emails umpteen times to see if the guy I emailed at Yorkshire Water regarding trails at Timble Ings has got back to me (no
)Bought a set of Salsa Woodchippers for a project bike I really must build.
Tried to find the plan a volunteer did for the trails for which I'm supposed to be organising the dig day on Sunday (woo hoo, Norwood
)Ridign a bike - nowt. Stuff related to bikes and trails - quite a bit.
Maybe I'll get chance at the weekend

2 & 3/4 hours off road on the north yorkshire moors. moderate pace with my brother for company. fantastic riding conditions, light wind, sunny but cool temperature. filthy and very wet from lots of recent rain. hot tukey sandwich and tea sat outside the cafe at the end.
went for a massage then back home and cleaned my stuff, fitted a rotor and saddle that came in the post while i was out.
tinkered with somebody else bike/fork for them and watch them ride away very happy.Posted 1 year ago # -

got all excited about my new bike arriving - cleared out the bike store ready for it so my wife dind't complain too much about another new bike then cursed when I found out it had arrived but isn't going to be ready for a few more days.
Then I thought I'd finaly service my forks only to find out no shop in town sells 15wt fork oil! Doh!
Plus I dreamed about getting out in this gorgeous weather!
