Monday 6th 49F/9.4C [7.40] A smudgy sky and breezy. It should be sunny all day as the NW wind slowly subsides.
Up at 7am after a fairly quiet night. 64F/17.8C in the room this morning. After the stove was lit from 8-10pm last night. It reached 67F/19.4C at bedtime.
8.30 Back from my walk. Traffic heavy. Wind strong. Lots of twigs blown out of the hedges onto the road. I tidied the largest onto the verge. I brought the recycling bin back with me.
11.3 Back from shopping in the village. I bought a wrist and thumb support mitt. Not sure how much good it's doing. It looks like I have early stages of arthritis. Not an injury. My hands have been hurting for years on longer rides. Hence the need for a more upright position.
I have been watching a lot of YouTube reviews of Ryet 3d printed saddles. They cost so little to purchase on AliExpress that I ordered one to match the size of the Brooks B17. There is a great deal of confusion about which model you get from the adverts. Which often illustrate several models. Yet offer no choice box. I went with 255x150mm with a carbon base. The same advert [Ryet] shows steel or carbon rails. Again without the buyer being offered a choice. I expect to have to pay 25% VAT and import charges but wonder what the lower purchase threshold is.
