Bikes!

 Friday afternoon was the Café, biscuits et parler Français at Ayr library ..two hours just flew by, six of us including two tutors, discussing things in French (mostly)..I need confidence...but I'm told that my accent and pronunciation are good!!

Saturday was fettling bike day.. Pirate's Eroba..."new" brake levers and new inner cables...our Fife Friend helped with that. Good to see him and his daughter and stay overnight. Especially with a day of track racing the next day at the Caird Park velodrome in Dundee, and they live two thirds of the way towards there!!

So a good day watching racing, chatting with friends and seeing them do well. Nice to be back in the Cycling Family!!

And three hour's driving (with a break)to get home afterwards!!

  3. I was fluent in French 45 years ago when I was young and I was able to converse easily. Now it's all deteriorated through lack of use, and I lack confidence to speak it too. The only cure for that is practice, practice, practice! I once thought that when I retired, I would join a French conversation class or group, but so far I haven't made the effort. So I applaud your efforts!

  4. Sunny weather makes everything better. Ideal for travel and cycling events with friends too. Enjoy.

  5. I love watching cycling! No balance to do it myself (blood thinners plus bad balance equals bad biking combo) but I love seeing others do it. It sounds ke a wonderful time for you.
