I expected the replacement freewheel to arrive later in the week so, to get the kilometers in and hit the 3,500 k number this week, I rode the Bishopsbourne, Armstrong Lane loop first and, the next day, out to Carrick. The Armstrong Lane loop is interesting. Why does it always seems hillier going anticlockwise through Bishopsbourne than going clockwise? I have recently tackled it both ways and I still don’t know. Obviously the climbing and descents must be the same but it certainly feels less hilly turning left off Bishopsbourne Road and looping clockwise.

Week #25 2018. That was annoying
What’s annoying? This website has been found by silly people who, during the week, posted a heap of rubbish comments. What do they get out of it I wonder? The comments have been deleted.
On to real life. It took a little while and a few “round-the-block” rides to get the Brooks saddle set up on the Brompton in preparation for our caravan/cycling
trip. The ‘Penta-Clip’ that attaches the seat to the post provides for an infinite level of adjustment fore and aft and up and down. I think the setting is just about there now. The original saddle is back on Vivente and is also being worked on having replaced the Brooks. Again, it’s nearly there, nearly comfortable but not quite. I find it take several rides to get saddles in exactly the right position. How different to sitting in a “deckchair” on the trike.
