Sounds fun.... My choice is between a day at Pines a week Fri then or a day with Fil2 in Woburn lol.

Depends if i'm going to Wales for family stuff on Wed/Thurs.

Where did 48 mins get you on the overall list ?

adding new stories to the poll thread doesn't draw any new attention it does it?

Dunno mate, thought it acted in exactly same way as other threads and showed in 'new posts' the the same way as everything else? I don't mind where stuff goes, I can try and create a few topics from it later

My missus just got a road ebike, so I'll see how she gets on. It's flat around here, I don't see the point, it still feels like cheating.

If I can keep up with them all (the rest of my extended family have them too) on my manky manual single speed I'll feel vindicated ....

It's only cheating if you go as slow as a normal bike :)
