First ride in on the Marathons today. Quite heavy tyres, slower acceleration, unless one applies more power. If you do apply more power, it can go quite acceptably. Riding round route 25 from Clapham to Dulwich Village, they seemed very good. Riding up various hills, they seemed slow and heavy. Riding down Forest Hill, they seemed rather stable. Riding along double yellows, they had a tendency to tramline. Riding across the gravel and rock truck stop in Catford, the ride was very smooth indeed.
The main news though is...no puncture!
I was at a meeting in Berkeley Square today. On the way out, the plasma TVs in reception were showing BBC and Sky News. Here's what I saw. Auntie Beeb had a look inside too!
And in other news, mudguards and replacement block sunglasses have arrived (not a moment too soon, the tree pollen today was terrible). I'm ready for summer now!
