I feel like Jacque Cousteau

4th January 2012 - Back on the old faithful Muddy Fox for my commute, a 20 mile round trip it was warmer than it looked this morning and I had to stop to take my hat off but it was the life aquatic on the way home and I got SOAKED to the skin, the gears where playing up a bit too.
The Muddy fox could really do with a service if I'm honest.
Miranda will have to stay in until the weather gets better or I get her some crud catchers, you couldn't do with out mudguards till about June in this country. I borrowed some bike tools and will fit the SPDs off my Genesis as a tempory measure until I decide what I'm doing about pedals. I sort of need new shoes anyway as my current MTB ones are nearly 3 years old so I might go totally roadie with LOOK style pedals and shoes to match or just buy new  Shimano M520's in white and continue to use mountain bike shoes. Availible funds will dictate rather than anything else, it was only with a healthy birthday gift from my wife that i could afford the Raliegh Team sprint in the first place even at £150 times are hard as they say.
