So from Friday until Sunday I have been laid up with man flu again which I kind of knew was coming as my asthma had been getting worse recently and my body had been hurting more than usual! This has meant that I have put off starting to Ruck until Tuesday at the earliest!
Yesterday (Sunday 18/02/2023) I did manage to get up and then go shoot some hoops with my son and then we went for a bike ride along the 2 Tunnels:
The ride was pretty good considering how bad I had felt all weekend and how wet it was everywhere! We also had wet feet all ride as the first tunnel was open bet was still flooded and the water was really deep! (mid leg when pedalling in the flood!) Still it made the ride more interesting I suppose 🙂
When we got back after a nice hot shower I made food then chilled for a bit then rode the ebike to the track to see how the new gate fitting was going 🙂 It turns out that the ebike is a death trap as it is currently 🙁 the brakes make yo go faster and the belt came off 5 times riding to the track so I will need to sort that this week!
I am just going to bin the current brake calipers and get new ones and I am not sure if the belt just needs tightening or if it needs a new belt? The current one is pretty chewed up so it may well need replacing but we will see I guess!
The gate is all done and we have had training on how to set it up and take it down and it is so much faster and better than the old setup 🙂 The tarmac and concrete will be laid today so we should be good to use it mid week 🙂
