Just a brief update for those of you who keep checking in to see what I'm up to this summer. The answer is - very little! I'm still teaching and so I'm tied to the school holidays. I'm also trying to rebuild a house and so I've had little time for cycling. Anyway, I've had some new wheels built for the bike (Rigida Sputnik rims, Sapim spokes and Shimano Deore LX hubs) as the cracks in the old rims were getting much too big to carry on with. I got them built by Spa Cycles in Harrogate who are thoroughly recommended.
I'm hoping to get away for a few days cycle camping around Dumfries and Galloway which has some really stunning scenery but that will be it for this summer. However, I've promised myself a long ride in 2018 so we'll see.
