    New bike tomorrow?

    Going to take a couple of hours’ drive tomorrow down to Jagodina to check out this bike I have been offered (the previously-mentioned) Scott Tampico. It sounds just like the sort of level of bike I am looking for, and the price is right too.

    Can’t wait to actually get on a decent bike - I have actually never ridden anything you could call a half-decent bike. I wonder if it will make me a better rider :)

    I’ll tell you what, I do reckon that spending years riding a low-quality bike HAS improved my fitness levels - all that extra weight to propel along, high friction etc. I’ll be flying on the new bike, no doubt!

    I will keep you posted!

    P.S. ARGGHHH!! You would think I would have learned to spell “tomorrow” by now! Suffice to say this is the second version of this posting… Incidentally, if you use the text prediction dictionary facility on your mobile phone, I don’t know about you, but I key tomorrow in wrong EVERY time and it just comes up with a question mark. That’s the thing with that T9 dictionary, or whatever it’s called - you still have to actually know how to spell!
