Nightride slackers

Out on tuesday, went to pick up Johnnie cos he had some bike parts for me, running early so called in at Fredericks for a 2 scoop cone, mmm. Johnnie's bike was in a typical state of functionality, no front brake and the forks were on backwards :-) Met Si at the barn where the midges were out in force so we got moving ASAP as soon as Johnnie had a working bike. It was definitley more about getting out and having a laugh than the riding, just upto the pike, upto 2 lads backdown and then wildeswood, doubt we hit double figures but it was fun. Johnnie had gone back to work after time off so was in quite a caustic mood and we had a good rant/blather about lots of stuff. Looks like kielder destroyed my knees, was thinking of going back up the hill to do ICR but my knees said no and Johnnie and Si weren't bothered either.
Yesterday - incredibly - a day off coincided with gorgeous weather but I spent it indoors :-( waiting for more bike stuff :-) and getting some painting done :-( Knees were still sore riding (very gently) in this morning hope they're fixed for weekend.

I am getting a reputation for this but iot took you a few seconds to notice and your first guess was wrong. The headset was loose as well and teh frewheel wrecked at the end. Should i just go back to one working bike or stick wiuth 3 not working?
