hope to ride ashburton to coleridge power station return on im hope sunday coming up
hopeing for a fine day and not to cold
(no snow) ?
theres plenty of straights and then through the gorge and theres wicked cornering and then a few tighter cnrs that can actually catch you out a little ....even when you do know the road .....
lets hope its a good day

left ashburton at about 910 am freezing cold in the morning really cold a hard frost but at least not raining.
travlled to chch to cycle treads to get a new tyre
arrived there at about 1010 and after a hot coffee started to warm up a bit
a bt45 tyre fitted and the mission was complete
am really impressed with the amount of tread on the tyre i think about 2mm more than the pirelli had when it was new .
i hope this will last a lot more kms.

hopefully tomorrow is fine off to cycle treads to get new rear tyre.
the pirelli sport demon on the rear has a little meat left but i find myself not impressed with the amount of use it has had
They seem to be very soft and just dont last long enough
I hope the bt 45 that is going on the rear will last a lot longer.
does anyone else have a good or bad opinion of these tyres i have to admit there really good on the dry and excellent grip just not good mileage.

my rear breaks squawk dont know why have replaced with new ones and there starting to do the same
any ideas?
