Chaps, it is sensible to give the bike a bit of a clean and service after the ride on Saturday. Fortunately we had no rain, but some of the roads were bumpy and gritty.

1Clean the bike down
2 Check the chain and lubricate it
3 Lube the derailliers
4 Check the gear and brake cables, and lube where you can
5 Lube the brake mechanisms
6 Clear any debris from the brake pads
7 Check the seat post can be moved up or down
8 Inspect tyres for cuts or splits
9 Inspect wheels for lumps/bruising/trueness
10 Check wheel spokes are tight
11 Clean the sh!te out of the drinks bottles
12 Put the bike on E Bay

I had a shortish ride on Tuesday evening, wind now northerly, hence I rode into it for 2/3 of the ride. Typical!

Hope all of you guys are fighting fit? I really enjoyed meeting all of you.

How closely is Zippy related to Mercuryman? :D
