Ooops

Not that anyone reads it but... I've been neglecting my blog in the last few months. I've still been cycling but not as much (had stuff on at work).

This coming week I should be on the bike Monday and Tuesday but my mileage counter's a bit out of date so I'll sort that out.

The bottom bracket of my bike (where the pedals go in) is starting to wobble so Halfords can have it on Wednesday to hopefully get it fixed before next week. This bike has done well over 1,000 miles now so I suppose it's bound to have a few problems.

Last few trips have been good fun. nice to see plenty of new life on the canal - cygnets, ducklings, goslings etc etc. I think I might have seen the elusive Kingfisher but since I'm not sure it's still elusive!

Mixing my cycling in with a bit of running and gym work now as I hope to cycle the whole canal on one day in July and the fitness levels need to go up a bit... :)

Confused...

So, the confused goose that's been hanging out with the swans was even more confused today.... it was being humped by a swan and it all looked a bit awkward...... [made me laugh though]

Blocks of ice

Great to be cycling in the light again (morning).
Plenty of wildlife sights, mating ducks, mating swans, mating blackbirds ... everything was mating!
Bloody cold though. Some of the ice didn't break too well and by the time I got to work the ice and mud had gunked up my gears and my feet and lower limbs were caked in ice.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Quietly getting on with it...

Nearly at 1,500 miles.
Bloody cold but nice and muddy :)
