I have heard, although lacking a Labrador I would not know, that dogs sense when they are on a trip to a vet.
Today my 20 miles (1200 feet) on Ms Boardman was primarily to confirm a fault I detected some five weeks ago, since when I have not ridden her, before ringing my friendly Halfords to book in for a repair.
But amazingly for the first 10 miles or so the fault had disappeared! Now how did she know she was shortly to be dismantled? Should I start calling her Regina? (Neither Rex nor Rover being quite right?).
It was only meant to be a short test ride but it took 10 miles before Ms Boardman relaxed, her deceit was displayed and the fault re-emerged.
I shall tell Halfords to show no mercy and be ruthless in binning any bits that are past their best and only then will she be welcomed back.
Sigh. I never have any trouble with Campagnolo.![]()
