Thank you to all that submitted entries this past week. I have found reading these entries very, well how should I say, ‘thought provoking’. Suffice to say if I read and at times re-read an entry, I often find myself saying ‘I am not alone, I was only thinking or doing that last weekend too’

Kinje, thank you for your participation as this weeks sole selector. To Minnie and gijoe1313, congratualations you are our selectors ...

This week our two selectors both chose Kinje.

Thanks Mrs Kendog and Daza for your selection, and also I want to acknowledge Merv for his input guidance. (I actually went back through Kinje’s posts and came across Merv’s input – thanks Merv)

BUT... I had three bikes to choose from, so that was nice. I rode a bit on each, they are quite different.
Oh I suppose I did practise, the heavier ...

Lissa’s Selection:This week I pick Rosie.

Shows she is getting comfortable on her bike, and learning to change up/down gears according to the road.. ie cornering etc.

It was good to have been practising this during the weekend.
I didn't lock up either ...
