Postponed

 Today the garage man wasn't happy with the calipers from his usual supplier....or the price....so they are going back and he will get others elsewhere.

So no travelling until at least the middle of next week... probably best to postpone for a full week, but I will see what the weather will be up to!!

Which gives me more time to get on with things.

I went on the bus to town to get some de-icer..and was pleased to get trigger spray bottles, not cans. 

The snow had turned to cold rain showers....but as I did some sewing tonight I heard what sounded like hail against the windows...I was NOT going to investigate!!

I am mending a long sleeve cycling top of Pirate's, which will either be nice for the retro cycle ride at the end of May...or if it is too big for me will fit our Friend in France...who was also Pirate's clubmate over fifty years ago....


An odd placement of a club badge....


Pirate fell off his bike!!  Many years ago.....good thing he kept it.

...rain or snow is fine, the in between stuff not so much.

That's an awesome cycling jersey.

That is quite a testament to falling off your bike, and no one vould accuse him of being profligate.

Good staying indoors weather.

That's a great cycling top! How old is it? It looks quite vintage!

It is vintage..minimum thirty years..I'll have to see when those companies were sponsoring a pro team !

Got it..1981

I love that this cycle club seems to have gathered kindred souls along the way. Friends who have stayed in contact for over 50 years is a wonderful comfort in our golden years.

It is quite normal for many cyclists I think..I have a cycling friend in Rothesay who used to be in the same club as Pirate and Friend in France...her stepfather was a guiding influence on Pirate....and ten years later I raced against her mum!

That is a nice jersey...and a good use of the patch!
