I went out on the MTB for the first time in about 8 months tonight up the local park and it certainly wasn't a recover ride!

Uhh. Realised this morning it's not just buckled. The brake track is actually bent too.So after all that effort fixing the DT Swiss wheel it's now buckled. Thanks Surrey council.
The road heading north of Box Hill must be one of the most popular cycling routes in the country yet ever since I've known it you have to slalom a complete mess of potholes. Hit a massive one as it was hard to see with all the shadows. Insta flat then bounced through the next set. Ejected my bottle. Almost lost my Exposure Tracer. Only just yesterday I set the brake pads up proper close so it was nice and true.. now it's far from it. Urghhh!
Nice weather though.

Welcome back!
What is your training regime going to be out of interest?
Probably cassette and therefore chain needs replacing, how old are they? Have you measured the chain for wear?
If you've been riding a lot on it and it's been worn your cassette will probably need replacing too unfortunately. I have an old 10sp if you do need one.
That would be great - happy to pop postage over to you?
Oh, it's not going free
I'd go scribe over hunt for that price.
Did 83km today with a tidy coffee break in the middle. Didnt hit home until I saw on strava "this time a month ago you did 0km"
First time on a road bike since I was a teenager and ramped up the distance quite considerably. To the point when I go back to the office for a few days of the week I will happily do the 60km round trip.
Next weekend - I want to hit my first 100km run and I already made my route So chuffed with myself, I have never done this distance before. However, I did have to ride 17km in the rain home which sucked lol
Muck everywhere, every piece of clothing soaked, saddle bag ****** lol Was mega fun though.
Plan is next weekend to do the 89.9k run one direction, and then try to back track along the coast along the train line till I conk out and work from there lol Loving it
