I knew it!!!!!

Just 'cos I wash me bike all my tech starts fighting back, My tracker has give up the ghost and I am now invisible (or rather the bike is) to the world, I feel so insignificant.

I'm doing a bit of fault finding tonight in the vain hope that it'll burst back into life in the morning and I'll be back (or rather the bike will be) visible to thems what know where to look!

I've just ordered a new lead for the autocom as well as the existing Garmin/phone/etc lead is a bit 'crackly' and with monitors fitted in ones lug-holes this can be a bit wearing after a few hours, (Better than wind noise though, that's wind as in hurricane, not as in 'wrong-end coughing'! )

Bike cleaning!? Hmmmm

I have spent the last 5 months looking at my bike and wondering why it's so dirty?
Surely the dirt would fall off after 2 or 3 months and it should be all sparkly and clean again, I though Gravity would take care of that!
Oh well, just goes to show that science isn't right all of the time?!

So over the last 2 weeks I have had to clean the bike myself, this constitutes 'exercise' in my mind and so I have to take long periods of rest between the various cleansing disciplines i.e. Getting bike & kit out, Hosing down, Washing, etc, etc, these rest periods vary between 1 hour and 5 days (and whilst I find the 5 day rest period more beneficial, it tends to lead to a mad panic when one has to get it finished prior to using the bike)
I have just finished this onerous task having just finished polishing it for the 3rd time. was it worth it? Of course it was! am I going to get it dirty again? not until I'm sick of looking at it in a clean condition,
after all it's dirty 11 months 2 weeks of the year so it just looks strangely odd when it's clean!
