Diesel/rain and bikes..

... Do not good bed fellows make.
I was pootling along on Saturday when I hit a patch of diesel. I cannot describe the feeling of doing 25 miles per hour sideways... Scary doesn't come into it! Luckily, I'm a bit too tall for the bike, so I kinda leapfrogged it and grabbed it between my knees whiles hanging on for dear life. No damage was done to me thankfully, but after doing some more runs (Tentatively) today there is a problem with the back wheel. I think I may have bent something or other. This means a trip to the garage on Wednesday as the car is in for a service tomorrow.

On a brighter note, I am now exactly halfway through my first 80 runs. This means I have 2 1/2 months to complete the next 40 before my self assessment. As long as the bike is ok, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. (Fingers crossed!)

Music for today is another blast from my eighties past Mr Blue Sky And how I wish it was!!
