Locked And (Ready To Be) Loaded


As advertised by the fine folk at the Adventure Cycling Association, my panniers arrived on Monday. I went to work making fine adjustments such that I can go right to using them at first (1st) opportunity.

The one (1) drawback, if you even want to call it that, is the panniers are reddish in colour. My bike is Blue Velvet. And, since I’m pasty white, now I’m fricking patriotic! The red and the blue don’t go together so well. Oh well, not being a slave to fashion, there are a multitude of things I could give a shit about. This isn’t one (1).

Now that the bags are here, I’m itching to use them. Hopefully there is a bike camping excursion in my near future. Maybe weekend after this coming. We’ll see.


Ride On.

My, oh, my! The things you say...Well, if you really want to know, red-blue beats red-purple or orange-blue! So, it could have been worst! Now all you need is a meteor shower (the stars on the flag : P ), or a clear night sky (if you are planning a nocturnal trip!)- to my mind, you stand for the white strips...not the stars...I could be wrong, though!

I wish you have nice weather! It is not fit for flags to be left out in the rain :)))

Cheers!
