HFW. Not a straight forward trip. In the garage the bike computer was not responding... I tried to force a reset by shorting the reset pin on the programing header to vcc but probobly shorted gnd to vcc and may of screwed the voltage regulator, anyway it was not working and as it powers my rear light I had not rear light. Walked up to the bike shop 400m away but it had shut just before I got there. headed for home slowly trying to make my way on small roads by instinct. Came out by the Arches were maplins was Open. They had a bike light set for £10 so got that and fitted the rear light. carried on for home up the A38. By the time I was down at the red traffic light under the underpass I looked back to check how good the light was and I just have a clamp but no light!!!! I have managed to lose it in about 4 miles.... Just carred on home as normal.
I have a pair of expensive clamps but I may be abkle to use one to improve my map board.

A bad day.....
Drove over to Tescos to do my weekly shop. Just befor the roundabout at the exit to tescs heading home I lost all power in the van... Pulled over and it would not start. Rang the AA 'will be there in under an hour' rang back after 1.5 hours. 'will find out whats going on and ring you back' Half an hour latter no call back so packed the frozen food (I was stocking back up) into small rucksack two other bags and set off walking home. Half way home get a call from the man coming out to me saying he is 15 minutes away. walk fast and run bits to get home as quick as possible sweating like a pig as I have my down jacket and cag on as it's damp.

Pack food into freezer and fridge then jump on the Mixer and sprint back to the van where the man is waiting.
Man says Imobiliser not going off. Quick drive home and back to get the spair key no luck. Try disconecting ther battery no luck. Check on his database of faults nothing so I am stuffed. Get towed home for midnight.
Will have to ring Garage in the morning and probobly end up getting the AA to tow the van on in there unless they have any tricks to try. Will probobly miss the Saturday ride as a result and will have to work out how I am going to get to the night event...
Glad to have my supper and a beer at 12.30...

Cycling (road) 30:44 [2] 11.8 km (23.0 kph) +90m
shoes: Charge Mixer
ITW on the mixer.
Lots of traffic light stopages. Bike felt good, could not tell the difference between the netral gear and the others so no noticable drag. Not quite as spritly feeling as the Scale with slicks on but It would be hard to beat the scale in this guise I have not riden all my continental road miles on it because it's no good at it. Just about enough gears was down to bottom going up the filton hill but did not nead any lower and would of bean OK in second if I had not just been spinning it along but pushing on a bit. A bit harsh over the bumps compared to the scale with the front falk and bigger rubber but a lot better and more solid fealing than the road bike.
11.603 00:30:44 22.6 00:34:06 20.4 89 -96 1.5

7 PM
Running (road) 42:54 9.0 km (4:46 / km) +100m 4:31 / km
Westbury mikes group. Belbarn road 1km loop I have times loged here for this from a number of times. 5 loops started relativly slowly and just kept getting faster and faster. 3.48, 3.42, 3.34, 3.28, 3.22. propoerly collapsed on the pavment after the last one. Not very consistant but better than I was expecting. Found these times from the last time I did 5 sets 3.34, 3.32, 3.30, 3.28, 2.28. When I just did two after getting back from the summer trip they were 3.43 so I think my speed is not too bad at all when I try and push it.
Cycling (road) 45:00 [2] 15.0 km (20.0 kph) +150m
shoes: Charge Mixer
To Westbury training and then back home. Got into top gear coming back down from the Downs about 50kmph. Had to stand up in bottom going up past the Mouse out of Westbury on the way home but then I have to stand up on the Scale or use the granny ring.

Note
Working from home today waiting for my new comuter bike to be delivered. Came at tea time so not much work done after that. Took a long time getting the mudgaurds on and then setting it up for the bike computer as I had to solder up some cables for the wheel sensor and the rear led flasher. Managed to fit an unused frame bag and found a spair but heavy multi tool and puncture repair kit. Fitted bottle cage with pump holder. Pedals are old Caddy eggbeaters I won the Manchester rat race with after having to buy them on the morning of the race after breaking the regular ones. Will probobly have to buy some alternatives as the bearings are fairly shot and none servicable.
Will see how it rides properly tomorrow.

Severn Sunday run. A big groupe out with 14. A good decent pace but never realy too stupid eg still a groupe of 10 to the bus stop regroupe on the first hill. Split at raglan garden center where the back of the groupe went for a toilet break. I pushed on a bit for the next section across to Digistow as I was the only one realy sure of the route. Tooked in behind Luck to the bottom of the big climb. No legs up the climb well back from Luck, Matt and Anna. strugeling a bit on the way back home but so were a few others.
