    You carry on riding round the car park in the dark, smiling, dewy-eyed at the Moon. :wink: - I've seen it in a LBS; it's a nice bike, all right. :)

    He'll be doing Richmond Park, straight across the middle, on that bike next.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    May change my mind about the Evans sportive and go for the Road event instead of the MTB - or possibly both on the same bike ? Don't think Mrs JW will give me licence for two days on the trot :wink:

    Only downside are the tyres which are Conti Speedkings 700x35 - need to swap for something a little less knobbly I think
