And it’s always handy to have somewhere to park your bike

Got a Tick bite last night. Now comes the exciting wait to see if I get Lyme disease.
Last year had three ticks in my groin* which were removed by my (medical) wife with a scalpel and tweezers. Didn’t get Lymes Disease.
* How, you might ask? Day before got wet and muddy so washed my liner shorts and hung them up outside to dry overnight. We were camping in The New Forest with wild deer and horses etc. so when I put them on the next day must have had a few ticks lodged in them.
What the taste from that bottle, alga or oyster?

Cala Galdana, Menorca a couple of days ago.
A rather marvellous 29 miles across a rather beautiful island. My first time cycling outside UK and hopefully not my last.
un gran día!

Bangor, Co Down, N Ireland a couple of hours ago.
Not as warm as Menorca but this was necessary.
And I broke the 2000 mile mark on the Rise.

Wades Military road the Corrieyarak pass Ft Augustus to Melgarve bothy and back again. The 13 zig zags are in one pic if you zoom in hard to makeout though . Fair slog in the heat today. Just made it down to 15 percent battery. Met a few young lads on real bikes rather them than me. Indian summer up here so had to be done. Paddle Loch Moidart yesterday. Traffic is horrendous in the west nowadays people in hire cars on single track roads and muckle big campers . Actually beginning to feel I shouldn't be there .

While changing my bars from SQlab to PNW one of the two girl rescue cats (now 1 year old) we've adopted joined me in the garage. She decided to relax on my kitesurfing gear.
I spy something tasty in the background, 450 or 550
550 x 2 standard unmodified engines, and a third SXV550 race bike in pieces needing a new unobtainable crankcase.
Wife has a pic of my infestation but in spirit of decency I won't post it.
I had a similar picture on the one piece of exposed flesh just above my rear end with midges . A circle three inch diameter with a hundred bites . Got them taking tent down in morning .One of them nights I paddled in put tent up and inside by 6 pm and not out till tent came down in morning . Sadly had quite a few nights when I've stayed inside tent or camper all night. Still midges going about these past two days I got 4 small ticks out last night the inspector will have a good look today.Wife has a pic of my infestation but in spirit of decency I won't post it.

Very extreme and not to mention dangerous way of saving a few grams! The fourth one fell out after about 15 miles but luckily I had just moved off or I could have crashed. The spider etc came fully off!Weight saving?
I was able to find the bolt and refit it and then made my way home - carefully checking the bolt regularly and sticking to the roads, which was a bit annoying as I missed out on some lovely trails.
I assumed I had lost the bolts during the ride but it wasnt until later that day when I saw the photo that I realised the bike had been hired to me like that. There was a bit of creaking and gear slipping but I never suspected the crank bolts.
Top Tip - always check a hire bike!
Expect better well one and only time I hired a Ebike and guide it was pretty expensive .
Great weather was promised today and there would be no wind on the coast.
It was a wonderful day for biking in the middle of September
