Well I've done my first 200+ Miles week since our ride. I must be training for something......

I'd be up for a mini adventure. It would be nice to see as many of the troupe as possible.....and I've always fancied coast to coast. I even have a bike with gears now..... although I'd probably ride fixed...

I'm sure I used my brake otherwise my legs would have been spinning like a tumble dryer on the descents.....

He’ll be fine. It’s equipped with Sturmey Archer’s finest. If I can get up St Michaels Hill in Bristol on my similarly geared 1936 F W Evans light tourer I’m sure he’ll be OK in Cornwall, Devon, Shap, etc. The brakes on the other hand....

That might be interesting...
