    If you mean is my ankle well, it is..... :)

    We ended up at Dalby on Sunday, it would have been abit wet and windy up on the Moors. Impressed with the track rebuilding at Dalby, smoothing out some of the brake bumps.

    So, you off to Wembley I presume, whereabouts are you sitting. We are Block 525.

    Since the weather is getting better I though I would get back into my biking again, so today I picked up a new bike and went for a short 12 mile ride just to see how it felt... It was just a gentle ride nothing heavy, just over the Bridge and around Barton then back to Hessle...

    I was thinking of going out tomorrow evening, but only around Swine and Wawne area so it will be no good to you....

    I'm meant to be going to Pateley Bridge on Sunday to do the Niddledale Classic, but all depends on the weather and if I have transport by then.
