I'm not dead!
Sorry for the lack of posts... The reason...
As many of you may know I had my bike stolen a few months
back now, and it sucked big time.
When something that means so much to you is stolen the
feelings you feel are hard to explain, I honestly didn't know how to react to
finding Spartacus missing from my workplace, a place I thought it would be
safe. How was I meant to get home? How was I supposed to go out and ride?
So obviously after phoning the police and giving a complete
description of Spartacus I just had to sit and wait. I waited and waited.
Until finally one day at work a policeman walks in and asks
for me.
Long story short… They found him!
So I'm off to Bristol of all places tomorrow! They moved him
to a complete different county! But he’s safe! I literally cannot wait to see
that beast again!
Other than my life being screwed for a month…

I bought a Specialized Allez as a replacement until I got
Spartacus back, it’s a mean machine and for what I paid I got an absolute
bargain. “Alice” as she is now called rides like a dream. Fast as hell in any
direction! After having a bike fit a few months back I really noticed the
difference in choosing the correct frame size and stem length, both of which
are perfect on Alice.
Work has been ok, I've been trying some new latte art out
and have had some good feedback, and I’m also in love with cold brew!
Yesterday I viewed a house just around the corner from work
and it looks like I’m moving in on Friday! So I am going to be pretty busy this
week. I hopefully have a ride planned on Sunday too which is sweet. Since
getting Alice I've not really been in much, I've been at work or out smashing
it up hills. My legs are feeling like tree trunks right now, so it’s time to
order some new kit…

Me and my friend Dale have been discussing “Irideroad” as a
brand quite a lot recently and are looking to start our own local team, so
plans for kit are underway and finding a few sponsors are too! So if you know
anyone who wants some advertising let me know and we'll see what they can offer
in exchange for being plastered on our chests and backs…. We're also looking to
start a few community projects too. I’m currently planning something to combine
my two loves too, but that will have to be a whole separate post entirely.
I hope to be able to do a post every other day and if I can
persuade Dale into it get him to do some guest posts, he’s my main man “The
Mechanic” So no doubt he'll be able to help you with some repairs, fitting and
general care tips for your ride.
Stay Flemish
JC out!
