WSD = wobbly seat direction (following viv around Ashton Court!) Ok...the bike has fox forks (not sure which ones yet but there's an air valve involved). Most of the bits are xt. It has 9 gears which is too much but difficult to remove if thats what you get. Its obscenely light but has no bar ends (...

Ok...We wanted to try out the bikes on familiar ground. Unfortunately the familiar ground was a little unfamiliar. The tracks and trails around Ashton court were extremely wet. Also there had been a lot of people enjoying themelves here before us, so the tracks were a little rutted. Viv fell off on ...

Look out for the wet wooden bridge on the way down!

14km long, 2.5 km wide, close to the Atlantic coast west of Bordeaux the Lac du Hourtin / Carcans is a great windsurfing location.

Smashing subject cus we've all been here....some of the venues for next year have been chosen with this in mind...Croft Farm, Roadford and Axebridge are all in there. When Viv and I joined the club we went through the same confidence barriers. It does take loads of time on the water to get familiar ...

The social this week is The Plough at Congrsbury and we're going so I guess its on. The portland trip will be devoid of most of the committee as we have a prior engagement in France, however keep an eye on the forums for enthusiasts.
Cheers

This has only been beaten by the ultra-low pressure recorded at th...

loads of questions 1 Can you increase the range on the Barometer ? 2 time axis is this hours ago with N = now ? cant fathom this ? 3 wind direction looks suspicious, is there any averaging or does it spin with every gust ? 4. where is it on your house (roof obviously) near a chimney ? 5. Its pissed ...
