    Pompino – some good deals on at the moment and easily under £300 used.

    PLUS – get a set of CX tyres for weekend ramblings.

    They’re ace.

    Which means sloppy on the main runs.

    However, its usually ‘always’ fine if you go off the main courses and do a bit of exploring.

    Not here.

    Managed to get a shower installed after 3 years hassling.

    Have to keep bike in office as no allowance made in grounds.

    And this in a company where 3 people drive in and 20 cycle (out of 50).

    Who do you work for ?

    Ebay is fine, just say you’ll send on when tickets in hand.

    Its expected.

    I’ve got an Olympus XZ-1 which is fantastic.

    Superb low light performance, great colours and loads of manual settings.

    But – sometimes I wish I’d gone for the S95 to just drop in my pocket like you say.

    Answer = BOTH!

    Yup.

    Ping it maybe 100m back so they’re aware of me coming up behind them and have plenty of time etc …

    I’m always surpised how close you can get without them noticing though – i’m no stealth machine …

    Good to know its still on for renewals – mines up at weekend and seeing as its not a bad price I might just take it to save myself from an evening of those boring comparison sites.

    Tour of the Cornfields is an ace event – done it twice now.

    You’ve plenty of trails around Royston including the rambling around the icknield way, but for some hillier stuff you need to go South West a few miles.

    Baldock has a good mtb scene that meet at the Orange Tree pub on a Thurs and the cock on a Sat.

    Hitchin also has plemty of riders going out and is right ont edge of Chilterns – some really nice stuff round there and plenty of it.

    The beaches between Bigbury-on-Sea and Bantham are stunning.

    Constantly changing so always something to do with the kids and plenty of space for all.

    Galaxy SII still fastest and it has an amazing screen.

    But, HTC’s interface is nicer in my opinion.

    Theres a raft of new releases imminent so I’d hold until the summer.,

    I asked him (on Twitter) if there was going to be any more …..

    “no plans for reprint (although under increasing pressure to do so!) may go to kindle late summer if enough demand”

    Maybe if enough folk ask there’ll be a second batch.

    Black is just a slog in slop.

    Red is fun and flowing – really nice.

    Best bits as the locals will tell you are ‘off piste’ and to be found when you go exploring.

    I’ve done a few races there and the unmarked stuff is really nice but I had no idea where I was !

    Best stick to Red on first visit.

    If you take the diversion on the way round you’ll find each lap around 10 miles.

    Nice weekend for it.

    Park in the Brandon Country Park carpark for a couple of quid all day. The main lodge is a couple of quid an hour I think.

    Nana who bakes biscuits and Nana who doesn’t bake biscuits is how my 4yr old differentiates his nans.

    And his younger brother calls her Biccit nana ….

    Makes me laugh everytime.

    Not sure if you can combine offers but British Cycling membership gives 10% off Halfords incl Boardman bikes for £23 pa.

    They might allow combining considering they had the 10% Christmas deal …
