Yup. Gotta keep a sharp eye on pricing everywhere.
Never assume one place always has the lowest prices.

well i made it out of the door this morning ,which was better than yesterday. the planned ride in my head was soon abandoned as it appears to be chillier than it looked .:cold: decided to pop in and see a good friend who we laid to rest last Thursday at north road cemetery Spennymoor, which lets me ride a long the Auckland way cycle track
past a field with Shetland ponies and got chatting to a guy who was feeding them apples . dropped into Spennymoor called in and had a few words with Andy (rip mate), then head off round the corner to see my mate pete for a natter and coffee dam he was not in
so time to plan fastest way home as fingers felt they were dropping off . only 22 miles which is short for me .. need to MTFU.

warmer day today so off out by 10-30 went the reverse of my usual route. Eppleby cafe was stowed out (bloody cyclists) . so off in the direction to the A66 and greta bridge for a coffee and sausage sarnie 
.sunny but chilly at times.. returned via Langton-bolam - Royal oak ,dropped into shildon and back along the cycle track....
Sarah was a little grubby so gave her a good wash and she looks stunning

Came across the same listing for the Spank Bars and now at $440 CDN. Retail price is $114 USD.
Had a look at Amazon policies and you can in fact report price gouging - so I did. I probably will again too - but I'm not going to hold my breath for too long on seeing any changes.
But the occasional "tilting at windmills" goes well with a nice glass of Red, while killing time on bike forums...
A nice Rioja - I might add, in honour of the concept of tilting at windmills and it's origins.

Typical British weather and trail conditions.
But the new rig's coping well
You can tell that I'm not timid with my bikes

Nail clippers do a nice flush trim if you don't have micro shears.
I do like the the look of a muddy bike. It means you've had a good day!

Good point regarding the cable ties for the chainstay protector. I'm looking into seeing whether I can find a one piece mold which will simply clip on. If I can't find one, I'll make my own. But so far, its protected the frame so I'll probably replace the blue and yellow cable ties with black ones and trim the downTie wraps need a trim.

went on a basic ride to test the range of my battery. Always love seeing Mt hood. it was about 60 degrees and saw two of these deadly vipers I was so scared. well scared of running them over. I love this old cemetery and they built a grade school right beside it.

My riding shoes are often an old pair of Ecco Biom spikeless golf shoes.
They work great with MTB flat pedals - your feet aren't going anywhere...

My route to work. Petrol is approaching $5 buck per gallon. I'm saving approximately $100 a week by not driving my Ford pick up truck. I totally enjoy riding when it is not raining. I take advantage of such times. Puts a smile on my face when I see motorist idling at a stop light.
