A lot of things have gone wrong/broken - the weather is pants - back on Co Durham's lines

 


I had a day off yesterday from riding the bike but had a short walk for an hour in the evening as we did not get the forecasted storm and the temperature was nearly 17 degrees at 6pm! 
I was back out again today for a very early morning spin. It was a bit of a last minute decision so just re fitted my lights back onto the bike last night. I only needed them for the first hour or so before daylight come through. These are my Lezyne ones which I leave on the bike all winter and give them a charge if I use them for a couple of hours. The back one still had some battery life and was working ok but the front one would only come on full beam and no other setting ie flashing etc. Not too worry at least there was some light. Thinking back to Spring time when I put them away I remembered that when charging the front one the led green light would never change to fully charged so it must be on the way out. 
Also my Garmin heart rate monitor strap was not working on todays ride, I have been having a few issues recently with it so I changed the battery and washed the strap but looks like that has give up the as well. 
And the foam pieces that go on the straps of my Restrap Canister bar bag have fallen to pieces so the bag keeps moving around on my bars. I will get in touch with Restrap, see if they can supply some replacements. 
Oh the Specialized Future shock 2.0 on my other Creo had stopped working as well, put a final candle on the cake my camera battery charger has also packed in. 
Right back to todays ride -it was supposed to be red hot, dry and sunny well it was overcast, cloudy, raining and not that warm, oh and the wind is back again. The lines were wet and muddy from last nights rain. On the plus side there was very few others out. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
