Hellooo. I thought I should introduce myself to your good bikey selves! I came along on the Climachx ride today but CaptainBland and myself were fashionably late. Had a great day tracing the forum ride snowy tyre tracks (stragely turning into hoof prints at one point, or some kinda hoofcleatmaxxis mish-mash). I'm 37, always liked bikes n cycling. Lived in That London for 11 years but now back in North Wales and trying to get out on my bikes when I can (.. be arsed). Yes, of course, I am a cycling god. Bikes: Ye olde columbus steel paganini sioux roadbike. For, err, road riding. It is red. 1992 Rocky Mountain Vertex rigid Singlespeeded for serious pub/shopping duties. It is blue. 2008 Rocky Mountain vertex w/ rebas for fun. It is green. See you on the trails .........am I supposed to type anything else?

Hiya! Mr. Bland has already soiled my green bike, I bought it some new gold bits as recompense. I think it was happy for me to be back riding it today, hence no mechanicals/punctures, etc! Top ride today, I was all prepped for cold, wind n rain so hey.. Result. Was worth the trek from Llandudno. Nice to meet you both
