Not a new years resolutions, more an organic desire driven by the number of cycling related friends I have and watching the Revolution highlights on Monday.\u00c2\u00a0 Revolution wasn’t as bad as I thought but still not my thing, to give an example of what is more appealing to me (I don’t typically do spectator sports) I found two YouTube links Street Descent in Brazil<\/a>, and Street descent in Chillie<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 (the Chillie one is my fave).\u00c2\u00a0 Neither of these are my riding style or skill level I must add! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

But watching those clips stirred the long slumbering desire to ride my bike again!\u00c2\u00a0 As she has been unused so much since having my original bike stolen in 2006, which really killed my buzz, I have decided to give her a full service and shock maintenance.\u00c2\u00a0 Extra handy as Evans are only across the road and the ONLY authorized Scott shock maintainer in the UK (license to print money? at \u00c2\u00a395 a shock, I think so \ud83d\ude41 ).<\/p>\n

Last night I started the bike service of 2012 and have removed the shocks ready to take over to Evans tonight after work, during the 2 weeks that should take before I get them back I am hoping to have a good go at cleaning up the rest of the bike, ready for riding in 2012 :D\u00c2\u00a0 Going to be uploading pics to the gallery here<\/a> for anyone interested in pictures of a bike being tinkered with and cleaned \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I am mostly pleased with my alternative solution to pad spreaders (which I forgot to buy when in Evans).. cone spanners & cable ties! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
