Definitely a cheery Tuesday here - postie brought my new calendar! Many thanks gents :smile: . Highlight of the year so far - another Staylittle Stores calendar. Now pride of place in the Perrin kitchen.

Hope Mr H is doing OK in the circumstances. Don't forget to pop in next time you're passing on bike or otherwise, for a brew and a story. Good to try and support a valuable local asset in BB Land.

There was one in the set, but Mrs JC has to keep sharp objects safely hidden away these days :grin: .

A chain and cassette for the Epic - KMC x11SL chain and a XX1 10-42 11 speed cassette. Not cheap but I figure that the number of times I use the bike it should last some years......

Must've been a "thing" in Yorkshire recently. A recent parcel went (apparently) to Leeds (as it should) but then they 'fessed up and said it had gone to York by mistake. No chance it'll arrive today as I live on a hill and the white stuff is horsing it down ;snow-giddy: :cool:

I sent my TraceR back to Exposure as water had got into circuit board. It was returned to today with new board in it, no charge. Great service as always

Well finally I’ve had a Bike related delivery :-bd
Some eBay brake pads for my RX4’s as they were down to the springs (cheap and very good) and some jockey wheels due to some play in the old ones, 12 speed is really quite fussy about these things.
Oh and a duomid tent to replace my Altaplex :sad:
It’s light but quite big so I may take up Glampacking when we’re allowed out again, Timmy chair, three course meals and posh coffee :lol:
We’re all individuals, except me.

I woke up this morning but I’m still in the dark

Two Howies jackets in their sale.

One is teeny (Sprite Windbreaker) and will happily live in the "site" bag for work when I'm travelling.

T'other is barely bigger or heavier (Doyle, waterproof). Second one as I like it that much and at the price seems a bargain so it can sit in the cupboard for when I lose or destroy the other.

Quite nice jackets IMO and for just less than £100 for both it seems a fairly good deal. Doyle is stupid black though which just seems to be asking for trouble / idiot-road-ninja ensemble / SMIDSY bait :roll: :wink:
