    Good evening my dear friends, how are we all ?

    Me, i'm fine but CRCYCLES AREN'T.........i ordered a new xt rapid rise rear derailleur today around midday with next day delivery for 1pm and the buggers are still processing the damn order, so it won't arrive till thursday now, oh well i suppose i'll get the delivery fee back cos they haven't sorted it for 2moz........
    Damn....bugger and all that, first time they have let me down though, ussually they are very good with the deliveries, suppose they have to get it wrong sometime huh!!

    I never pay for quicker delivery from CRC cos still always gets here in 2 days MAX. Before the Ladybower ride my order from CRC (Northern Ireland) took 36 hours to arrive and my order from Stif Cycles (North Yorkshire) took 4 days!!!!!

    Evenin folks.

    @Maloo_where's the pic taken mate?

    @Roo - Have you go those numbers from your supplier yet? :wink:

    I'm off out for a gentle ride around the local woods tomorrow to loosen up my legs from last weekend. I've got my pass stamped for the BHF ride in October. CAZ - I'm going to speak to them tomorrow to see what happens if you enter but then don't get the minimum sponsorship. I don't think it's enforceable as it's not like the big events where part of your sponsorship goes to pay for you to be on the event.....

    Chehley,
    It would be just the job if I didn't have to raise the £100, I could probs raise £56/£60 but I can't do the whole £100 :(

    I know Ches but the last time i got a delivery from CRC the bleedin postman left it on the goddamn doorstep for everyone to see and pinch, fortunately my laddo came home from his nightshift 15-20 mins after it was 'delivered' .........thus i requested a sign for delivery to make sure it didn't happen again, apparently the royal mail use outside couriers to do their work sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I once had a delivery (not from a bike shop) that the courier said I has signed for at a time and date when my ticket said I was on a plane!!!!!!

    Cheshley,,,,,, do you have to confirm which route you wish to ride beforehand or can you opt for any one of the four routes on the day ??
