Yep, went out and just got back. Sitting here with with my back-home cup of tea. People insist on sending me important emails on Sunday, otherwise I'd tell you about this tomorrow (aren't you lucky!(!)).
Put yesterday's leftover pasta into a plastic container, mixed with yummy tomato pesto. Put that into a pannier along with a thermos of tea, bottle of water, etc. Went out on the Sequoia in my Swrve shorts (more later) and an old t-shirt, cos casual Sunday. Tytherington, Rockhampton, lunch in a field, across to Hill, along the river (too many people), Cowhill, home.
Somewhere in Gaunt's Earthcott my eye was caught by something protruding from my chainset. Oh look, one of the bolts that holds on the inner ring is coming loose. About 2/3 loose. I'd better fix that. And when I did, I discovered another bolt was completely missing!!!!
Thank goodness it's a five-bolt chainring. Pretty sure I've got some spares, so that's my task.
Almost forgot, the Swrve shorts. They're 3/4 actually. They're comfortable in cut and lack of seams and so on, and much better than mtb-style baggy Humvees, because they're narrow enough in the cuff not to flap and catch on bottles and so on. But the material is too thick and synthetic in this weather: Swrve's "durable cotton" is actually 45% nylon and spandex.
