This week I've been thinking....

I've been a bit unwell this week.
Nothing major. Just feel a bit queezy and generally not right.
So.........
I've done a lot of staring and thinking.
What do you think about when you have nothing much to think about?
My mind turns to new bike parts of course.
I'll list what I have thought about:
Disc brakes and new wheels for Little Bike.
(I'm fed-up with the Maggy Hydraulic rim brakes rubbing all the time)
Chain device for the Big Hitter.
(Took the old one off cos it didn't work with a smaller chainring)
Wider bars for the Hitter.
(It has short bars on it from my old Rockhopper)
Chris King headset for the Rocky Ridge.
(Needs a new headset but at £100!!!)
New saddle for the Rocky Ridge.
(Am using a slightly broken one at the moment. Heavy landings and all that)

If I did all that it would cost £500 or more.
Trouble is I can use any of my bikes right now without spending a penny so how can I justify buying anything?

IT WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!
So there is something good about feeling poorly.
:O)
Damn!! I'm feeling better already.

Could be an important weekend.

This Saturday morning we will get the Pink Stiffee out of mothballs.
Go up high with the saddle.
Then perch Alex on top and see if she can get the pedals all the way around on that puppy.
Hopefully she will be able.
Plan B (if she can't) will be to put her on my marin.
One way or another we will get her on a gentle ride.

Chamonix 2006 The Movie.

Well the Chamonix 2006 movie is finished and we are going over to Chris's this friday to have a Premiere on the big screen.

Welcome to Delbert's Secret Blog.

Well..........
Here we are with a blank canvas.
What to do with it?
What I think I will do is to log the progress of Alex as she recovers from her nasty knee injury.
Also.
I would like to log my own progress as I learn to ride a bike.
This may take some time!
Any other ideas?
Let me know.
(no one ever does you know).
