Good luck I usually make things worse so I leave well alone until things get too bad!

Very icy and everywhere is white over. So got the ice bike out, that thing is very hard work, still another 40 miles of the Rapha 500 done, only 25 left to go!

To add a bit of viariaity I'm finding my carerra Zelos from halfords surprisingly good considering all the bad press it's given. Once it's set up right it's actually a really good bike. I fact I'd only replace the bar tape if I could but I'm lazy and skint after buying a garmin!

Carerras are a good bike, it is the Halfords mechanics that give it a bad name by not being able to set them up correctly.

I know that all too well, done 10 miles on my bike. I'm having to do the derailer myself..

It was O2 synce navi2coach
Had most of the features of something like a Garmin 500, but a cheaper price - canot find one now.
Already lookin for bike so did not want extra expense. The simple GPS feature has been a boon to me - allowed me to go further afield without constantly referring to maps etc


Think I will confin search to a 2ndhand bike

If a few more of you team up you can get 3 garmins for the price of 2 @ halfords, works out at £53 each

Fraid I moaned at Mrs Stonechat when I got in
Well not at her. Somehow you have to vent frustrations - and tomorrow I am back to dealing with funeral arrangements (sorry to mention such gloomy things here)
Advice to all - don't die not long before Christmas
