Steve arrived here at 9, went to be shortly after 10 and threw the kit to be washed outside the bedroom door. I put it all back, clean and dry just after midnight. Tumble dryers do it for me!
The space age ear gizmo that was enquired about recently is a Cardo BK1 bluetooth phone / music thingy.
The exposure light has been retired in favour of a hope 4 LED light (vision 4 ?) with battery pack in the carradice. He's carrying 1 of the BBB lights as opposed to 2 earlier in the year - the bars are now a lot less cluttered.
He's on the red bike, but with the new silver wheels - and the bike is looking good, Everything is as it should be. I asked how many punctures and the obvious answer was "I don't know - they repair themselves" (
). It looks like a new cassette, chains are changed regularly.
The hope light with a spare battery pack (plus of course lengthening days) has simplified charging somewhat - Everything is charged and back on the bike ready for the off. There are a lot of rechargeables - AAs & AAAs - my Maplin rapid charger has got through about 5 sets since 9pm - of course they were not all empty before I started. Looking at his kit it is obvious that all the research is paying off.
And I think by now his arse has moulded itself to the shape of the extra thick leather B17 Pro!
