Just back from Halfords. They have everything but the hanger so it'll have to wait for that which may be next week or later. All under warranty and since its only 4 weeks old they'll replace the frame, which suffered impact damage, when one becomes spare.

I'll get a bike ready for you Peter. It will have a 50-34 crankset and 11-32 cassette so should get up the hills OK. I see your bike had flat pedals on it. I guess you left it at Halfords. We might have to take a pair of pedals off one of Iain's bikes as "your" bike currently has SPD pedals.

I have cleated shoes, I can loosen the springs. I haven't used them yet but happy to practice. Will get the traveling fridge out so beers are cold for our return.

Good luck to one & all on the bike ride!
I shall be thinking of you as I enjoy my first (and quite possibly last) race meeting of the year at Croix. Hopefully this lovely autumn weather will hold out. |

There is possibly an unnecessary "h" in that post.

I am planning to come along to record the event in word and pictures for publication in a motoring magazine.
Hope that is OK with you all. |

I guess it is already pre-ride bacon rolls time, and you will all be in the saddle soon.
Have a great and safe time all, boys and girls.... and Bob, looking at you for some golden paparazzi moments to share with the rest of us. I will raise a glass at the appropriate time. |

Good luck to everyone taking part in this, and serve you right if it's harder work than you expected, Mike would have told you to lay off the bacon butties! I can't join you due to a longstanding family arrangement, but I will be out on my bike for a couple of hours from 8am so will be pedalling with you and Mike in spirit and will raise a glass of Leffe at lunch. Here's to you Mike......

Nice! Cleats affixed to shoes. A bit of practice before we set off should be OK.

I did look at my Cirrus Cycles Bianchi this evening but will probably stick to my faithful Specialized for tomorrow. Burgers,sausages and bacon all ready. Very much looking forward to tomorrow. Happy days.
