Tonight was the first solo night ride of the season, and my first proper ride on a mountain bike for about 10 weeks. I loaded up the iPod with some folk-rock type music, the obligatory woolly jumper helps keep you warm on winter rides, and headed out into the fog on the Kaboom. Having fettled the bike a bit since the last ride, it’s a lot more comfortable now and a lot more fun to ride. Riding across the top of the hill through the fog was somewhat spooky, particulary descending across the golf course where I couldn’t see more than about 5 yards in front of me. Ace fun though, I must do it more often.

I keep forgetting I have a Kaboom.
hmm
project for next year?
or just sell it.. and the rest.
I don’t think i am going to ride as much next year as I have this!
Build it, ride it, see how it feels. I didn’t like mine for the first few rides, but it felt a damn site better tonight.
I still need to do 160 miles this year to reach my target.
I’ve only ridden once in the last week. I seem to be suffering from apathy :(
I need to do 254 miles to reach my target, and I have no legs anymore.
Are you Douglas Bader?
Yes!
/brereeeeerrrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrRrrAaaRRRR karraakakakakakakaaaa (plane crashing noises)
I can’t be arsed to be apathetic!
Sir Douglas Bader drove an Austin Allegro. This is, weirdly enough, absolutely true. It even had a large Spitfire mascot on the bonnet. Just goes you’re probably not all there if you drive an Allegro…..
