Did the same ride as yesterday. Started out well ;-) The ride hight making a huge difference. Then half way round something went wrong, as I started loading up the peddles the rear brake started binding, when I free-wheeled the binding reduced but not completely. Closer investigation showed the rear wheel axle had worked loose again (The wheel was still in tight - But the wheel rocked on the axle)
This meant that the ride home was awkward.
On returning home I removed the rear wheel, Undid the bearing cap, packed it with some LM grease and tightened it all back up again.
Ohhhh the back tyre is now almost bald.
This shows that I will have to do some regular weekly checks on the bike, Brakes, Saddle hight and bearing play for starters.
Time to get back on the bike.
