    69mm PM brakes. help!!!

    Hard work keeping pace with you guys but worth it. Great morning out but the van proper overheated on the drive home and ended up going home with green flag. Probably water pump/head/gasket/new engine disaster. Doubtless see you all again soon.

    Thetford Ride - Bank Holiday Monday 29th August

    What a great ride! Just a shame it was a different one 10 minutes behind you. Nice to see you guys again though. Note to self: not all parts of the forest are 45 minutes drive from home. Some may be 55 minutes.

    Bill gates ride Must ride backwards next time to get an equal tan on the other side of my arms. Great day out. Thanks. Names to faces: I'm the one who insisted on splashing through all 4 muddy puddles on the hugely heavy and unnecessarily over-suspended Specialized FSR.
