Hi All,

Long time no post!

Anyway - a hectic few months:

I am very pleased o announce the arrival of gtvlusso junior mk3 - she arrived last week at 15:28. Mum and baby are well - mum did the whole job on gas and air only - chapeau!

In other news:

Boardman Team Carbon was stolen from my locked shed on Friday 19th/Sat 20th - very annoyed that someone has violated my home.

I will meet up at somepoint for a beer - probably smelling of poo and sweat!

    Forgot to add - she was 7lbs and 4oz and is building up the poundage as I type!

    I think there is a rower or a cyclist in this one!

    Congratulations! And chapaeu indeed to Mrs gtvlusso - I'm pretty convinced the expression should more accurately be WTFU.

    Bad luck about the break in - hope your insurers are helpful and speedy rather than obstructive and tardy as is often the case.

    Congratulations GTV! I love the fact you gave us the time so precisely, yet didn't mention the day at all. I remember the walking-round-like-a-zombie, new Dad phase very well. :D

    Congratulations!

    And on another scale, commiserations too...

    Be great to see you out, but don't let booze get in the way of enjoying the sprog (UNLESS the booze will help you relax and your enjoyment of said sprog will increase as a result)!

    Congrats to all around. Can't believe you even thought to imply she wouldn't be a cyclist :D

    Just reading my own post back to myself, I realise it might seem a bit odd. It's really not supposed to be. Sorry if I've caused any offense.

    Your OH gave birth to something as heavy as a bike :shock: Go the cyclist route and get her on a bike before Mrs GTV gets her on a rowing machine.

    Congrats! Hope all continue to do well. :)

    And bad luck on the Boardman. A bit left field, but isn't that an excuse for a new bike? :D

    I think the Boradman was a CTW bike.
