Newbie weekly achievement thread

Last month I got a flat and changed my first tire. Fortunately, it was in my kitchen! I inspected the tires on my bike, as it was used, and decided it would be a good idea to go new. So, I ordered Conti GP4000s from Amazon and they arrived yesterday. Tonight I changed out my tires. So, when I have a flat on the road (it is inevitable, right?) and need to do a roadside repair, I can at least take comfort in the knowledge that I have successfully changed 3 tires.

Great for you. I am looking at attending one of the Saturday morning clinics at my LBS basic bike repair/maintenance.

Still bitter cold here, so no outdoor riding, just me and the trainer logging a modest 26 miles this week.

The rain has stopped! We have two days of sun forecast, then it clouds over just in time for my two mornings of childcare Hopefully I will be out on Thursday though! My garden is like a quagmire after 10days of rain, and all the snow beforehand, I dread to think what state the bridleways will be in.

26miles still sounds pretty good to me. I have pretty much cleared the ironing pile, set up my new sewing machine, repaired some pillowcases and chosen some curtain poles. Productive, but I'd still rather be on a bike!
