My wife goes in for a proper fit tomorrow, we hit Le Knicks today and found some really nice (though not cheap) pair of 3/4 knicks and a nice Vermarc Jersey (no longer can she pick on my spending habits, well not as much ;) ). It also looks as though Leanne should be going into hospital within 90 days to get her knee sorted as there is some nasty floaties in there from previous work. This can only be a good thing and the doc said riding is a great recovery, so spin girl, spin… Continue

Taking a weeks holiday in early Sept, we've booked into a B&B in Oxley which is some lavender farm, looks snazzy in the pics, The MIL has graciously offered to take care of the kiddies so we can have an overnighter. W00T

My newest non bike arrival (my son) is a little over 3 weeks old now, Awake every 3 or 4 hours yelling his little head off, I don't know how my better half Leanne copes, I mean I do some feeds, but working real early starts means I'm not much good for a late night bottle.



Haven't got on the bike much, A week or so before… Continue
