Thanks Rogan Josh. I didn’t get the chance to take the Gyro on a proper big mountain day out, which is a shame as that’s the sort of ride I enjoy most. So, it’s good to hear that it coped OK in the Lakes.

It’s interesting that you didn’t find it fast on the climbs, which would lend weight to the theory that I was only faster because I was trying harder.

The simplest way I’ve found to post pictures here is to sign up for a free photobucket account. If you view a picture in your library there it will give you a load of links. Click on the direct link (which copies the link to your clipboard) then post it into the box you get when you click on the IMG button. Alternatively, if you’d like to send some to the gmail account I gave above I’ll be happy to post them up here for you.
