Expensive Sunday

So I got a KHS bike, plus trimmings, at Sports Junkies.  Holy diddle, the brakes on that thing… I am used to reefing on the brakes and barely slowing down, and this thing is so touchy I nearly came off the first time I put on the binders.  The Luddite walked me through everything I needed to know (he is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about bikes).  Then I fed him at Taco Loco and headed home, where I flatly refused to pack and curled up with Dorothy Dunnett’s To Lie With Lions for the umpteenth time.
