Sunday. Well a rather tense ride where with every wobble and bounce I wondered whether the axle would give up completely leaving me stranded but the bike managed to make it the 60+ miles to Porto without further mishap.
Visiting bike shops in Porto tomorrow and waiting to see what Koga the bike manufacturer come back with as it’s a specialised part.
Just to get one thing off my mind that I have nearly mentioned for the last two weeks, I HATE COBBLES. The Spanish and Portuguese have lots of roads with them. The Portuguese even use them for their bike lanes! They’re bad enough normally but when you’re trying to protect your delicate bike then they’re much much worse.
