A bit of preparation

With no physical preparation and my last mountain bike ride in February, I've decided to go along to my work's social club ride next weekend...

So this morning I gave the bike a bit of a going over.  I fitted the new rear tyre that I've had sitting around for a while - I decided I better have some knobs for the ride.  Then I fettled the brakes and gave it a bit of a test ride around the section.

I had intended to go for a short ride this afternoon to see how unfit I am but I ran out of time as the Connie also needed some servicing for the ride I'm leading tomorrow.  And then the lawns needed mowing etc, etc...

Fingers crossed for nice weather next weekend and that I'm not too fat and unfit for it...
