    No worries but having read that link I think it answers my question and should allow me to check the front mech adjustments. TIme to take the laptop to the shed I think!

    thats a nice looking gps interface there. does that site automaticly put the markers in where you stop.
    it was interesting to see that we covered 13 miles just in the morning

    hey maloo how did the monkey feel on a singlespeed, i can imagine those climbs would be really hard
    what are brakes for again

    Yeah all you do is upload your GPS file and it does the rest. The monkey on the singlespeed wanst too bad actually but some of the climbs I had no choice but to push up. Towards the end my legs had nearlly given up

    Do you ride out in the chilterns at the weekend?

    Not so much Chilterns, a bit further west along the Ridgeway between Streetley and Wantage. Have done a few rides starting from Watlington.

    Got your pm, ta.

    Well I have the bug for trails now, so I have pursuaded my mate to join me doing FTD and TMT on Sunday morning.

    Saw a sign on a restaurant that said Breakfast, any time -- so I ordered French Toast in the Renaissance.

    seriously tho mate, I can see why you go there so often, you could probably go every day for a month and not ride the same bit of trail twice!!!!!!
