Thursday 10 February 2011

Only three weeks before we’re off!

Weather took on a bit of a Welsh flavour this morning; a sort of fine drizzle that gets you wetter than it should.  I can’t really complain though, I’ve managed nearly three weeks without getting a thorough soaking.  That’s long enough for me to forget just how casual the old Raleigh brakes are in the wet.  Not what you need in the melee that is London traffic.

Talking of stopping power, I’ve been slowing down my mountain bikes with some pretty fierce hydraulic discs for about a decade, but I can’t recall ever seeing disk brakes on a road bike?  I guess you aren’t supposed to dip your road rims in the grinding paste they call mud?
