A Minor Setback

Target rides - 1 x 20, 1 x 25, 1 x 30

Actual rides - 1 x 31.5 (with Ian - a lovely morning, and the miles flew by!)
                        1 x 24 (cut this one short - see below!)
                        1 x 25

Hours on Rower - 1
Hours on Trainer - 0.5

Whilst I was out riding early in the week, a strange noise appeared, almost like a grinding noise (and it wasn't coming from me!).  I headed home and popped the bike on the trainer, so that I could let Bob hear it, in the hope that he knew how to fix it.  Apparently, it was my bottom bracket (!) and a bit beyond his toolkit, so we had to take it in to Scotby Cycles to be replaced - parts under warranty.  Thankfully, it didn't take them too long, so it only set me back 2 or 3 days - good job it wasn't later on in my training schedule!
