A perfect Saturday, Aiden left at 5.30am to launch his refereeing career, Under 10's at King's Park, lovely to see him engaged. I was altogether slower out of bed, and we headed into Central with Tracy, Simon and Dylan for a huge feed at Dragon Eye. I've never quite got people taking photos of food - is it about presentation? This photo is about the aftermath, ferocious chilli, dumplings of various sorts - nom nom. Then home for a long afternoon sleep. Then some bicycle pottering. :-)
In the afternoon I replaced and rebuilt big blue's handlebars. These are the originals, which are narrower, thin and slightly flexible - which seems like a poor choice (and hence my changing them to a stout aluminium pair). But I think this was the cause of nerve numbness in my smaller two fingers of my left hand - long hours of road shock with nothing but your hands to soak it up. A nice little lesson in not thinking you know better than the people who actually know bicycle building. I chose some funky blue bar tape to ease down the humble pie.
