Fitness the Final Stage and a New Craze
As previously alluded to whilst talking about Hatcliffe and Irby the final pay off was a new craze
The chance meeting mentioned in the Hatcliffe post got me thinking about a road racing bike with renewed fervour. Such was the fervour that instead of returning home I revisited yet another place from my past.
Ettridge Cycles in Grimsby. Still owned and run by Steve Ettridge and a place I haunted as a boy.
My idea was to have a look and see what’s what.
After a great chat and incredibly useful advice from Steve I sprung open the Goldeneye purse !
The new Goldeneye set of wheels can be seen below - though mine is slightl different in colour - a little more flambouyant - as you’d imagine 
Giant Road Racing Cycle
At this point I would like to recommend Ettridge’s and suggest anyone with a similar interest give them a look. The service is beyond anything you’ll receive buying from the internet or chain stores - not to mention vastly superior bikes. Add to this supporting your local shops - you know it makes sense !
Returning home I got changed and headed straight out - what a delight the bike was superb and I put quite a few miles in. This is going to complete the final phase of The Daniel Craig Workout - without a doubt !
Of course this wasn’t the end of it, the following day, Sunday, I went into town to purchase suitable leg wear.
Regulars will be only too aware of the trend I started in the Art of Successful Cross Dressing 
You’ll not be staggered to hear the new cycling strides followed in the same vein !
Black, skin tight and of course size 10 
A hot chick seeing me returning from an awesome test run around Waltham, Barnolby, Laceby, Aylesby and Ravendale said she thought they could be regarded as obscene 
She could have a point - glances from female pedestrians and motorists were noticeably greater in number than normal
I realise I’ve bought the bicycle at the wrong time of year but I hope to be getting out as often as possible both for pleasure and calorie burning exercise.
I feel greatly invigorated and it’s not just the trousers !

Rod,
Make sure you fit that bike with a nice basket at the front for the occasional hedgerow picking session or even the fashionable carriage of books and a baguette…

I’m not too worried about the saddle or the area it affects - after all where thee’s no sense there’s no feeling

I’m having a basklet made fro carbon fibre
I’ll not be carrying books in it though - hedgerow produce maybe - after all that wold be worth more than a basket full of books nowadays

Rod,
The Witches have a carbon fibre basket but every time we stick out an arm to indicate turning, we fall off so be careful
Could be sheer weight of baguettes and hedgerow produce of course…. next time we’ll use the bike
