Ride Entry – 3rd June 2009

Bike: Humuhumu
Distance:29 miles

Reasonable commute. No serious issues. Not very sunny but still good. I’ve refined my processes at work now, I leave more stuff in my locker so there’s less to carry round and I’m getting quite adept at a very fast strip wash. The cleaners are on to me now and have started saying I can’t use the disabled toilets until 7am.

Incidents of note: Woman who works at our place approached me and told me I should be using the cycle lanes instead of the road, idiot! I’ve not worked out who she is yet but once I do it might be karma time on the IT front.

Also,   on the way home I cracked and rode like a cock through the traffic, in and out very fast. I just took control and made moves I knew were safe rather than obeying any rules. Good fun but dangerous.

The freehib on the humu is now slipping a lot, need to get that replaced, hope that the standard shimano freehub fits most things as Sheldon suggests because you certainly can’t buy DX freehub specific freehubs any more.
