Cleats.
11°C, light cloud. Brisk southerly & dry
Used a chunk of the morning to service the cross bike. It has internally routed cables and those bits need care. The worst thing to do is lose the cable end inside the frame. I didn’t do that. My troubles were from a cable sheath end-stop stuck in the frame. That took ages to get out.
Anyway, I got out on the racelite and rode until I got tired: 45 miles.
Passed 1,015 miles
7°C, light & dry. Cold W onshore breeze.
I got my target. I wanted.1,000 miles ridden by equinox. Today I passed 15 miles over with two weeks to go..
March is low because.were currently only one week in. Equinox.is.the 3rd week.
Spring II.
12°C, still & no wind. 0 cloud.
Sunny and still: ride the fixie. The Paddy Wagon is running well though the original.rims are worn out. I just got a quote for rebuilding them with new rims – £40 per wheel. I’ll do that after I fit the summer wheels.
Spring, 1st march.
12°C, brisk SW, dry & cloudy with bits of sun.
I took more food than usual & rode to Dalton & behind. I fitted a conventional Speedo yesterday & fixed a puncture.
Is it Spring yet?
9°C sunny with blustery SW. Drying out with many large puddles remaining.
There’s colour in the landscape after 7 weeks of grey.
Service note: the gear change is terrible.

60km of fun. I had a few mechanicals, the chain needed tensioning better & the wheel bearings were also loose.
First fixie outing.
Kona Paddy Wagon, 5°C, sunny with light northerly, dry
The weather has finally broken; we had more than 5 weeks of grey drizzle and SE wind. Now it has swung around and gone cold.
This bike definitely feels lighter and quick compared with the Mustang.
80km, mid Feb.
8-12°C, moderate southerly, brightening up afternoon.
Mustang, Sunday ride. A damp & at times, drizzly start but the afternoon was almost spring-like.
-7°C windchill.
4°C, very strong E, some brief showers, ‘feelslike’ -2°C
Outward was really hard today. A fierce cold easterly was the real barrier. At times, I got out the saddle on level ground in the lowest gear. There aren’t many days like this. Gusts swept across fields or whipped between houses. Those reduced speed down to 6mph.
At its root, the weather is the same it has been all year. Okay, temperatures have varied between 4-8°C, but we’re dominated by easterly winds, almost all between east & south south east. I’m watching to see any long term change coming.
