PS - bike was a new hybrid - mainly for commuting and good cycle routes, had bigs plans to go nationwide with it but alas that'll need to wait till the Spring now. My mountain bike is tucked up in the garage even more unloved...it might get an airing next year too!

PPS - I am too a spring chicken (admittedly the 'spring' is a bit more of a 'hobble' but hey!) :lol: :lol:


Have you been raiding my wardrobe :shock: !!

You must have really aged being indoors with the lack of good clean rejuvinating mountair air, thank goodness for balaclavas eh :wink: :wink:
