Flat tyres, police, go play outside and shimano

Lisa has just come home from a meeting at her work and was told that
lots of flats happend on the 90k day or the day before. The Police had
to ferry tubes out to people on the route as did the shimano man and
the go play outside fella. Well I am glad to hear that both you and
David did so well to the very end Chris. By the way I have your
Kryptonite lock still. We will have to have that dinner now. I am all
for a nice glass of wine or two and would be happy to do a Hunter
ride. We have three new members since we went away. Two did the ride
with us and we did have a quiet ale with one of them (of course his
tandem bends in the middle and he said he is going to get a real one
before next year) and the others I did see but I think they had a good
chat with Geoff. Also a chap from the Gold Coast. Yes the name of the
group is not representative of the people who use it (thanks to those
from the Gong and up North). So 10 members now, growing so fast.
Anyhow I will post a list of rides before the end of the week. The
date for the Spring Cycle has been released. No date for the 2WS Bike
The Park yet though. Chat soon. Regards, Ken.

... The cheek of it! I suspect we all know that the "bend in the middle" type of cycle is a much harder beast to pull around, especially over a full 9 days....

Thanks Roger. They seem to be 1.75" and I was hoping to try something narrower - I was using 1.5" and I did not know you could get 26" 1 and 1.25 tyres in...
