Re: Wales roads
I remember the good old Pre Brexit (PB) days, when the EU paid for those fabulous roads in NW Scotland. Did they not do the same for Wales back in the day? Genuine question. Indeed they did. One of the reasons for the Brexit vote in South Wales was the construction of the EU-funded Heads of the Val...

Re: Waterproof bike boots.
The trouble with waterproof boots is...they have a big hole in the top where water can get in, then can't get out.
So you also need waterproof trousers that can go 'over the top'.

Lands End/Cornwall Trial 100th edition
Anyone doing this this year? The three Simpson brothers (me, Mike and Ben) have entered the Cornwall (daytime) trial. A bit disappointed that about six sections have been cut from the daytime route...about halving the number of sections from when I rode it last year. I hope this is just down to weat...

Re: Returning rider can it be done?
I sometimes write about insurance for my day job... In commercial insurance for fleets, insurers are often prepared to take on a perceived high risk (a young driver in a truck) if the risk is diluted with 'safer' drivers. If you run a car, you could consider approaching Carole Nash, who do a 'six-wh...

Re: A photo you took, today
You'll probably know what your doing far better than me, but just a cautionary word - I think you'll need to protect and perfectly align the springs inside the down tubes. My Greeves has pretty much the same set up. Soon as the weather warms up, I'll be needing to strip and un-seize the springs.......
