Sounds a good warm up Geoff. I guess you are carrying all your gear so when you get to the Big Ride and offload a bit you will fly. I got an email asking us to...
Hi Chris and all you guys. I'm not sure if you read the Tandem forums- http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?forumid=44 but if you search here Chris I'm...
Hi Chris I use Tri-flow which seems to work the best for me. (It is also brilliant on outside padlocks). White Lightning is ok and doesn't pick up dirt easily...
I haven't had time to find another colour cartridge for my aging printer so ours are going to be black. I just have one more quote to do and then I will print...
Have a good trip Geoff - I'm glad I'm not the only one doing things at the last minute. May you have nothing but tailwinds and no punctures. See you at...
