yes Steve , hawkscombe to start ! Its been tough but im expecting tomorrow to the hardest day .

should be great. i've got tomorrow off...and would have been up for joining you, if i hadn't developed a chest infection whilst on holiday (flipping typical eh?). i can just about climb the stairs now without having to stop for a breather, so i think hawcombe might be a bit too much for me a the moment!
have a good ride, if JB is being too smug about retirment would you push him off into the stream for me?
