Re: A Saracen by any other name - very pic heavy...
...and just to prove that I'm no 'Garage Queen...'
Hang on, that didn't come out right! :facepalm:
Ahem! Moving swiftly on...
...thought I'd drag my lardy *rse out and dust the cobwebs off my pride and joy
I was hoping to find a big field sowed to Rape to use as a backdrop
(if I'd had no hay-fever pills I'd have been surrounded by the damn stuff :roll: ) but the best I could do was a distant meadow filled with buttercups...
...so you'll just have to use your imagination for this one
Or very young sweetcorn?
...I had intended to turn round at my usual 5-mile marker, but the bike felt so good I just kept going...
"Run Forrest..."
...and typically I forgot to take my wallet, so there's no self-indulgent photo' of man-and-bike enjoying a much-needed rest and a pint at 'The Cuckoos Rest...' :|
Anyway, I'm home again and the bike performed faultlessly (
wish I could say the same of myself, my legs feel like jelly!
); 7-speed DuraAce thumbies and M737 rear mech. making for such smooth changes that a couple of times I had to watch to convince myself it had actually changed gear!
Damn I love this bike...
