Yeah first part of FTD closed, cycle track from Rugeley to Cannock being built, Mark Swinnerton reckons probally closed off for another month. Let me know when you can next get down here, can make most days with bit of notice. Hoping to start driving lessons soon, then you can show me your neck of woods. How are new tyres? I invested in pair of Continental Verticals today (£28 pair), Swinnerton reckon ideal for FTD, and with a new BB and chain repair, been an expensive day. Swinnerton are arranging a 5 day XC ride next June around the Midlands, you up for it? Also there's a trailquest over Chase on Sun 4th Nov, fancy it? You must register first though (www.midlandtrailquests.co.uk). Best of luck with promotion, will it give you more cycling time? see ya soon, cheers M8
