For once it's not a bike.

Seems I'm gonna be a dad. The missus is 12 weeks in and we had our first scan yesterday.

No idea as to the sex, but it will be a cyclist.

    Well, never mind, you seem to have got the hang of it, I'd say.

    Congrats, btw.

    I'm currently assembling the bits* for 66 major's first road bike. It comes around very quickly, I can tell you.

    Don't count your chickens by the way, my eldest has shown no signs of being a cyclist yet despit me getting him his first bike almost 2 years ago. Perhaps I'm being impatient, he is only 3...

    I think that explains DDD's week long abscence - say what you like but he's a fast worker. :D

    Holiday is a good shout, maybe we'll go somewhere warm in January.
