After a quick tyre change (my Contis are not holding up too well on the sploshy stuff!) I hope to be out on Sunday.

I may make Saturday, I'll text Mick in the morning to confirm if it's possible.

Now I have to set off for my 16 mile commute in the cold....brrrrrr Shocked

Was this what happened to you, Pete? Twisted Evil

Is that why you don't seem to push so hard on the climbs lately?

Reading the story is almost worse than the picture!


See you Sunday, chaps! (+ chappesses?)

I dont know what to say quite frankly. Thankfully I'm not in such a tricky position as our weightlifting friend. It is, however, keeping me off the bike, along with the back. Got the shock bolt sorted though, leaving a worn bushing to shine through! See you all soon.

Lefty John,

Glad to see you captured my halo in the pic of me fixing the tube!! Very Happy

Not so glad to see you making my bum look big in baggy shorts!! Shocked






(BTW that chip was for an ancient method of fixing the tube (passed down from Mayan trail gods), I DID NOT eat it, honest!!!!!)
