Two-thirds of the way round an 85mile ride last Thursday, I noticed a rather disturbing wobble in my rear gears.
On return, examination by a cycle mechanic revealed the bearings had disintegrated in my freewheel and I would need to order a new freehub and have it fitted before I could use the wheel again.
This is a real blow because it will take days to get this part and I do not have a spare wheel until I visit my parents on Sunday and pick one up from there.
Fingers crossed, all will be sorted after this weekend and I can get back to proper training again. I have done a bit of running this week and used the exercise bike at the gym but its not the same!
I have a few 100km and 200km rides lined up so really need to get back on the bike and get those peddles turning!
Ian, are you aware that Matt's current hair do may slow your progress? I've done everything I can to address this matter already. I hope you've considered a solution.
ReplyDeleteYes this shall be addressed! If we raise enough money for charity we shall also be shaving our legs!
