I posted yesterday that my super duper bike Merlin<\/em><\/strong> had a problem yesterday. Cable doing the gears snapped (it had worn out with all these miles I have been clocking up and hills climbed) and this cable is an internal cable! So it currently being repaired so having to revert to another bike \u00a0“Gringolet”<\/strong><\/em> for a few days. It is named after a horse-so I think we will do famous horses tonight for the quiz!<\/p>\n

I have been writing my story and I did go down a blind alley and got stuck for a while but I think I may of resolved that. The bike rides help you go over your ideas.<\/p>\n
