Happy New Year, & 101 things

[julietk]

Happy New Year! I had a splendid evening at marnameow's & sbp's last night, finally bailed around 4am, & feel entirely bright-eyed & bushy-tailed this morning, hurrah. Hope you all had similarly enjoyable times.

NY resolutions didn't work so well last year, so I'm giving the 101-things-in-1001-days a go instead. (thank you for suggestions at the weekend

Good plan

I've got two of the Baroque Cycle books and the Lodon Bio if you're needed them.

And tell me: is there some kind of conflict between your interest in the Baroque Cycle and your interest in a fixie? :-D

Re: Good plan

Thanks - I have the London Bio (have had for *years* which is why it's on here!) & doop has all 3 Baroque Cycle so I should be OK, but thanks for the offer!

Fixie vs BC: I like both simplicity and complexity in my life :-)

094 seems an odd one for a lahndahner with a bad back.

It's something I've always been curious about. You can do volunteer-holiday thingies where they teach you to do it & then you help fix walls on National Trust property etc etc.

I can lift things if I'm careful & do it properly (I am after all a sysadmin!). If it turns out to be not-physically-possible for me - some things are like that, sadly - then I'll rethink.

I have the relevant tools[1] for 53 & 56, which you're welcome to use.

Also: I'm hoping to cycle off some of this season's accumulated lard. Shout if you'd like to form a small peloton.

[1] Dishing tools, lockring spanners. That sort of esoteric single-use stuff.

Thank you! The wheel-building may yet happen this year, & early-ish this year as I might have a Reason for it soon; I suspect the fixie won't till next year.

PBP btw was already on the list before you suggested it ;-)

I am def up for cycling runs in general this year - the Aim is to be doing a decent-length ride most weekends from here on in. Some of 'em will have to be AUK ones (for qualifying; plus it does help a bit with the motivation) but I anticipate a few visits to the South Downs independently as well.

Were you planning to replace "Go to Boom" with "Go to Exodus"? (Hey, it was in another country, and ridiculously hot..)

GPWM!
