    :? 1200 miles ahead - should be safe.

    Asprilla - keep hitting CJCP with the big mileage and he'll break. :wink:

    It's going to be down to his weekend passes; commuting wise I've got about 100miles a week over him.

    Won't be long until Rolf F is close enough to hear the sound of his creaking knees and I'll be tucked in behind.

    Hey - are you drafting me? :evil: Damn SCSdrafting fairies......

    You'll make an easy pass of CJCP - he'll still be spinning in the gutter after I've blasted past him.

    Ok, ladies; come and have a go...

    Did you feel a little cold chill trhough your bones this morning? About a quarter past 8 I'd reckon.........

    I've been riding a mountain bike over the channel islands all week. I quite enjoyed it. I particularly like the fact it has a basket on the front which was a handy place to keep my beer.

    I've also discovered the best lighting solution for nocturnal single tracking is a 2million candle power spotlight wedged into a basket between a Thai takeaway.

    You need the hydrocolloid patches - no scabs, no scars, almost healed in less than 2 weeks.

    +1. They really work, got some dished out by the GP when I was recovering from my argument with Reigate Hill last year. Brilliant on cuts and scrapes.

    Great news about the driver.

    Great news on both counts Airwave!!

    Glad you're on the mend and that the driver has been identified.

    A pal of mine broke his arm recently and cycling was obviously out as was running because of the pain from the impact : however he has started pool runnng to keep his fitness up and says while it's not the most inspiring thing he's ever done it's helping him stay sane!!!
