Just Came Back

[Python]

The spider helmet's in ASDA Walmart. I had another look at it last night when I went up there (we'd run out of sugar). It's OK but doesn't have a great deal of adjustment where the purple helmet has that dial thing on the back and is a really good fit. I had it on tonight and it was really comfortable.

My legs feel like they're starting to recover now. Hope they don't feel like jelly every time I take the bike for a run LOL.

You're making me turn green with envy! Oh, to be in Wiltshire on a bike trail!

It sounds like you're doing great. And a purple helmet sounds wonderful.

Sounds like you had a lovely ride. And I love dogs, but not loose on the bike trail--that's so irritating, and dangerous. Isn't there a leash-law or something that requires people to keep their dogs on a lead? Or are people simply ignoring it?

[Python]

As far as I know the leash rule only applies to where there's traffic. Where these cycle routes are there is no traffic, just cyclists, pedestrians...and dogs.

It wasn't so much the dogs, they were doing what dogs do, sniffing around at the verges, it was the owners who wouldn't get out of the way. Still, I enjoyed the run and will explore other routes tomorrow. Hope the weather stays dry. It lashed with rain this morning and part of the afternoon, then the sun came out and it was really pleasant.

I'll take my camera next time and post some pics.

I got the spider one at a WalMart here in Indy as well. I did just however get myself a new Trek Vapor3 in a black. I'll be striping it up with a red reflective tape eventually to make it more visable.
Congrats on the ride. With practice, the hand signals, shifting etc will get easier with less wobble. Enjoy your bike!
