Yes Rick, I realised that I had posted in the wrong place. However, not sure how to delete this one. Sorry!

That's great. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Will have to get planning now!

Hi I am thinking of cycling from Chester to Slaidburn in the Forest of Bowland in a couple of weeks. I wonder if anyone has any idea of the best way to go. I will be on a road bike, so don't want canal tow paths. I would like to avoid main roads where possible, and busy town centres. Any help would ...

Gorgeous new cafe in Cheshire. Gorgeous cakes and tea out of china cups, and it is a charity cafe. Very welcoming to cyclists. Would highly recommend.

We live just outside Mold, and it's gorgeous. We are right on the edge of the Clwydian Range AONB. Great mountain and road riding. Lots of traffic free trails for kids, Llyn Brenig, North Wales Coastal Route, Burton Marshes route and onto the Wirral, Llandegla. Walking up Moel Famau is a great day o...

If you are buying off the internet with a big discount, then you take a risk in not trying it. One of the reasons for paying full price from a LBS is being able to try and be fitted for the bike. I have bought both my road bikes from the internet, but I did some research to make sure the measurement...

My galaxy came with cable under the tape. No problems at all.

We've just got one, mostly for day rides. It was loads cheaper than the next ones up, and we didn't want all the training modes. We also wanted more usable maps, and ours came with cycle maps for Europe. Someone mentioned to us that OS maps are not that useful on a small screen, so we're happy to ge...

We have just received an Edge Touring, which we will use with a laptop, but would also be interested in any responses, as we also use an iPad. Unfortunately, the Touring doesn't have Bluetooth, so we can't go down that route, but you might be able to with some of the dearer models, which do have Blu...

I have a touring bike (a Galaxy), with the intention of going touring, although have not been yet. I go on club rides with it, have done several Audaxes (shortish ones, as Audaxes go!), and due to the gearing I find I pass people on hills. For me it is a great, all round, go anywear bike (rough trac...

When I ride off road, my dog usually comes along with me. She's better behaved than many of the other mountain bikers I come across. As for horses, our local stretch of the Sustrans route is absolutely covered in horse ****. Llandegla is a purpose built mountain bike centre, with trails specificall...

I love my bar end shifters. Far easier to use than the STIs on my non tourer. Great in cold weather as easy to change gear with thick gloves or mitts!

Do you not think one of the reasons it's [inappropriate word removed] is because it was cheap? Yes, which is why I said it, so the OP could make up their own mind and not make the same mistake!!!! I was looking for an iPad for my parents on eBay, and was amazed at what they were going for. So, yes,...
