I'm still riding my XP with a broken spoke in the rear wheel. So far, the rest of the wheels seems fine as I'm waiting until my bicycle shop has received the stronger and thicker spokes. Apearantly, SAPIM is only producing spokes in a specific size and/or length by the thousands, but cannot tell which size will be available when, so it's a matter of waiting. Could be a matter of a couple of days, but also a matter of weeks (probably the latter). As long as I can keep riding, I do not worry about it much.
I submitted some pictures of my XP to the gallery of
recumbentblog and received a nice e-mail from Alan about them (seems not everybody's taking the time and/or the effort to read the submission guidelines). He has one of the finest and most beautiful blogs around (that I'm aware of anyway). I'm stil trying to get my picture right on top of this blog, but I still need to work on my html skills (and it shows, I know).
Not much riding lately, mainly because of the weather. Winter is coming and with temperatures dropping, I'm more comfortable riding my velomobile, which offers much better protection against the elements. Not that I mind the cold, it's the rain I dislike the most. Not for myself, I don't care to get wet at all, but to get my bike wet and dirty .... Yuk ! I really hate to clean up bikes after riding them in the rain, so I try to avoid this as much as possible. Luckily for me, my velomobile is the perfect bike for rainy days !
