24 hours bikeless and I’ve already got the DTs!

So, my bike is back in the workshop at The Bike Shop, Leeds. After spending hours (and £s) trying to diagnose a creak, it turns out i’ve cracked a rim. Can you believe I missed that?! The mechanic seems to think it’s cracked at the join, so hopefully should just be a warranty job. The only problem is that with it being bank holiday weekend I have to wait until Tuesday for a warranty decision and then even longer to re-build the wheel. Part of me hopes that it’s not a warranty effort and I can just next-day a new wheel online!

I was actually looking forward to getting a lot more time in on the bike as I have just quit my job. I had plans to record as many rides as I could before we get in to the depths of winter, but looks like I’m going to be at least 10 days away from getting out on the trails again and edging ever closer to sub 0°C temperatures and sloppy floored forests. At least I can spend my time wisely by growing my social media following, meticulously planning even better routes, angles and ultimately creating better videos in the long term.

I hope you’ll all join me for the ride!
