It's Arrived....

Wednesday's delivery
 It arrived early on Wednesday morning.....very early...so early in fact that the courier actually got me out of bed......
The delivery consisted of one large box containing my new mountain bike..... quite a speedy delivery, as I only ordered the bike on Monday....
The contents of the box.....
I told Anne that it was an early Christmas present from me...to me!!
Inside the box the bike was very well  protected with sealed foam wrapping and cable ties.....
Within twenty five minutes I had the bike fully assembled and all set up.......
All prepared and ready to go...
Getting a new bike of any kind is always a fun experience......
Every time I get another  bike I always say 'that will be the last bike that I will buy'......I mean, lets face it, at almost sixty six years of age how much time do I have to ride four bikes...? 
So I will say it again... That will be the last bike that I will buy..!!
'Head to the woods' on the seat tube...
As you can see in the picture above......On the seat tube there is the legend 'head to the woods'.....
So that is exactly what I did.....!!

    Trevor, there is a gentleman near me in Shropshire who is 91 yrs and he has got three or four bikes, and he goes out two to three times a week still, I think he's brilliant

    That's great to know John....on that basis there is obviously lots of time for me to add to my bike stable.

    'Marsha'
    I must admit that I was a bit unsure of the colour when I ordered the bike Marsha, but now it's arrived I must say that I actually like it. ._.

    The right number of bikes to own is n+1!

    Is this your only bike with disc brakes?

    'anniebikes'
    It is a bright colour Annie...a bit of an autumn colour really.

    'Steve A'
    It is Steve....as I intend getting this bike muddy I thought that discs might be a good idea.

    So when are you getting the baggy shorts and a helmet with a visor?

    'limom'
    Believe it or not I actually have those....they were left over from my Lands End to John o'Groats ride which I did on a 26" wheeled bike...
    Mind you I look a bit of a Dork in them....worse than I do in roadie lycra if that's possible :-)

    Great post, talking of which I got myself a new bike last week. I consider one person and two moments of inspiration to be the key but I'd like to think you are the constant subliminal fourth inspiration as I have followed your page during this period.
    I'll talk about it all on my blog at an appropriate moment with a couple of bike hire posts up my sleeve.
