The only thing that matters to me is the bike. In particular one bike- Boreas. Other than rides- I don't think that bike left the lounge for a week. Then I had to clean it so I took it to the bike shed. The wife locked the doors and will only open up a small window to let me get back into the house by. Still Boreas has plenty of mates down in the shed- and I bet they are telling him of the Trips that he will be taking next year. And the new Equipment he will be trying out.
