I'll go for that see you there

[BrianM]

Out of town. Slightly off topic, I see in the local paper that turbines are being built on Gibbett hill there.

Mind the dogs!

[DavidC]

That's the place Brian, you should see the fire roads up there, like motorways!

I'm ready for the dogs, just have to outsprint Barry

[DavidT]

I'm in.

I know the roadies love to hear about our MTB spins so I thought I'd share my Tully story. I had a shoe mechanical today, cleat screws sheared off leaving me one-legged. Feck spin over I thought but no. Tully smiles and reaches into his bag and pulls out a spare cleat complete with screws. Great! But I'm still in trouble. sheared bolts are stuck in the shoe and getting in the way. Wish I had a pliers. Tully smiles again, reaches into the bag and pulls out a pliers! Fixed and reshod in jig time. Happy days. An hour later new boy Brian snaps his chain and Tully comes to the rescue again with a power link.
Kudos to McGyver Tully, the spin saver.

[DavidT]

Thanks for reminding me - the sheared bolts are in the washing machine! Better go find them before I need to fix that
McGyver would have duck taped your foot to the pedal

[DavidF]

Jaysus sounds like the Faffiest Day of the year

Tully fair play, you even look like McGyyver
