Transport upgrade - Goodbye to the grey & the blue.........Hi ho Silver, away!

Reckon my 1993 Dawes Discovery Hybrid was the best £75 I ever spent. True, I  had spent a bit more updating and improving her since acquiring the bike second hand 2 years ago. With some tender loving care, some servicing and 2 replacement chains, cassettes and rear mech this bike served me well on commuting miles and for teaching purposes in schools. Most nnotably it gave me total reliability and doing several trips to and from London (c40 miles each way).

Luckily she has gone to a friend who will provide a good home! I have agreed to provide ongoing repairs, cleaning and servicing when needed.

The new Dawes Horizon Plus provides a sturdy replacement that will in addition allow longer cycling tours.

Upton Grey Kinda Guys

Ride around Odiham, Greywell, Upton Grey, Herriard, Lasham, Golden Pot, Froyle, Long Sutton, Well & Crondall   27th October 2012
31.7 miles

Favoured local lanes often take me through the picturesque village of Upton Grey, south of Odiham, but if their Guy Fawkes competition is an annual event I obviously missed previous efforts. This year's Guy offerings are very eye-catching!



Guy that looked a bit like Nicola Roberts....



Just a regular Guy



Spy Guy - in 'The Guy who Loved Me' (ouch!)

Guy Dog!

The Silent months....

I have shamefully neglected posting here through the Summer and Autumn this year. I didn't stop cycling....honest!!
So I've got some catching up to do! There will be some retrospective posts to come which will look back to other events and rides that I did but was just too busy (or lazy!) to post.
Suffice to say I'm still out there.

Apologies and note to self. Must try harder!
