Re: URGENT!! - WRT - Grid update to include free Birthday Ca

Harumph!!
Spent a wad of cash a week or so ago at Wiggle and got no Haribo and no "performance" coffee, and now there's no bloody cake either - I'll be going by there(ish) on Saturday as well.

I don't qualify for this either (that's an upside :cool: )

Re: Across the Vaucluse

Looks like you had a great time, thanks for posting - great pics.
I had an excellent time road touring in that part of the world a few years ago, I have 10 days in May to use, reckon I might find my way back down there.

The Celsius are road boots, Fahrenheit are SPD mtb boots. Or the other way round...
