Normally at this time of year in foul weather I would be riding my Boardman ADV and the Bianchi/Campagnolo ensemble would be snug and warm in my bedroom so she would be the last thing I look at before sweet dreams.
However last time I went out on t'ADV the rear hub sounded like a bag of hammers so it is clearly time for some TLC from Halfords (who make Boardman bikes) for her.
Unfortunately the foul weather has prevented me cleaning the Boardman to the showroom shine standard I insist on achieving before I let Halfords' mechanics catch sight of her - and so, rain or shine, out on the Bianchi it currently must be.
I hope she will forgive me her rust.
A trip to Otley library today (being part of Leeds it is far superior to the Ilkley library - a part of Bradford) took my 2024 total to 210 miles after 25 days which extrapolates to 3000+ miles for the year.
Which'll do to be going on with until the rain stops.
