Grrrrrr wobbly

At my resort camp site. The music went on way later than the promised ‘10.30pm or it’ll disturb the animals curfue.’ —- Nooooooo now I’m sounding really old. 🤨

There was breakfast, I ate lots.

Leaving lazily at about 9.00am. Now since I crossed that ferry on the first day I have found the reputation portrayed to me by others about the traffic to be not quite factual, yes of course there is traffic and yes today I did get buzzed so close I hyperventilated for at least a minute. Yes the horns are annoying. But I have been travelling along near empty roads, through jungle scenery, monkeys scampering across the road, it’s is fantastic.

Yes I know the picture is not on the road but this one had already scampered.

I passed a monkey today, it did arrogantly hold it’s ground and as I drew adjacent it let out a bit of a growl and I swear I heard it mutter something about bloody tourists, now I have had some recent incidents with a dog ripping a gash in my leg, so I turned to the monkey and said something that I thought placatory, he growled again and started to jog after me cajoling one of the other monkeys to join him, I sped up….. considerably. Still they kept up growling, I had nothing left except hope for my life and legs, the growling got quieter and I look back to see my persueing troop had lost their appetite for human. I breathed a sigh of relief.
There has been signs about a tiger sanctuary but I haven’t seen any yet.

This morning I tried to readjust the weight distribution of the bike. But this wobbling fork us really being a problem. The wobbling puts so much extra pressure on my wrists, up my arms, right through my shoulders on to my back. I have to use the breaks every time the bike speeds up. Sometimes my pedalling rhythm starts the wobbling. I can reduce its effect by pushing as hard as I can on the handlebars through the forks, obviously this unsustainable. Not only the physiological effect on my body it also could have an effect on the integrity of the bikes frame. It ranges from pretty dangerous to horrendous dangerous.

1. Yes moved as much weight to the front
2. Yes moved the bags off the fork tines.
3. Yes tried more weight at the back
4. Yes pedalled slower
5. Yes pedalled faster
6. Yes pedalled heel down (Although I am pretty pissed off about adjusting anything to do with my pedal action that I have just perfected over the last 5 or so years)

No I forgot to message Lauf when I was last online. Doh.
No I have not messaged the Facebook ‘Lauf Owners Group’

I probably will have by the time you read this. 😏 Yep this is starting to piss me off.

Anyway the region is Karnataka just in case someone is going to India and doesn’t want to follow the lemmings just going to Goa and Kerela.
