New bike time.

I've had an urge to get the blog going again  although I'm not sure if anyone reads them anymore. 

Seven years ago I wrote that I would keep sailing, but I didn't. I eventually sold the Sona in a part exchange for the Ambition, which featured in various old posts, and enjoyed doing a bit of work on it but my heart wasn't really in it, and it too was sold on. 

A lot of other things then took up all my time and at the end of 2019 my work moved to a new hospital with decent showers and changing. I commuted a couple of times by bike but then, like the rest of the world, Covid came and everything went tits up. 

My LHT will be celebrating its 10th birthday with me in August and its still my favourite bike but a 12 mile commute takes time and it can be a really windy route. So I've done something I never thought I would do and bought this. 

It's a 2019 Ridgeback e-flight with 750 miles on it and a full service history. (Yes, I know, but ebikes record this sort of stuff on their computers). It even has the original spoke reflectors, which will be coming off! 

I'll do the usual mods, saddle, grips, pedals, fitting and luggage, then start with commuting when I feel up to it and see how it goes. 

I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm just going to enjoy it.
