    This is not a crossword clue then? :?
    Sounds more like a coded message from a secret agent. Expect delivery by parachute at dead of night...

    I'd take delivery by parachute if it meant actually getting the light!

    Two letters saying 28 days each means a wait of 56 days....
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    got my second mag - nearly threw it in the bin as thought they had resent the December edition. Will they all have a picture of a man wearing the maillot jaune?

    I suspect that eventually you might see a man in a pink jersey, or perhaps even red if you fail to cancel the direct debit.

    The mag doesn't seem that bad to be fair (particularly given we're in the off season). I haven't cancelled the DD yet, if the classics coverage is good I might actually give it a chance.

    Given we're just reaching the climax of the cross season, *and* there's not much else going on at the moment, I'm slightly disappointed by the limited coverage in ProCycling. Is their in-depth coverage limited just to races that non-cyclists have heard of?

    Mainly road racing.

    Cyclo cross is a Belgian novelty and will ever be thus, even if hipsters work out that their new fangled sport they so love has in fact massive mainstream parts to it so start to champion cyclocross.

    Presumably the mud only adds to the bearded lumbersexual look.

    I thought with mine arriving today it might be the start of them being delivered, fingers crossed for the rest of you. :D

    Ps, it's still charging! It's been over 5 hrs.
    Suppose I'll have to read the instructions at some point! :mrgreen:

    I just received an e-mail from Immediate Media offering me the opportunity to subscribe to Pro-cycling for £5 for 5 issues.... now where could they have got my subscription from?

    I wonder if they would let me switch to Cycling Plus?

    If you were to wrap them around a stick and cover them in tar, you could make your own torch in the meantime.

    I'll just use the spare tub of tar that I keep under the sink, like we all do.

    Light arrived here yesterday, oddly at the same time as 2 separate letters advising the light delivery was going be delayed.

    Looks like a quality piece of kit
