Pretty cool. Would be tempted to do a couple to help aid my recovery / get me more comfortable on the bike again.

I'll see you there.
No cross bike for me though, but I think I'll probably be just fine on a hardtail, if a bit slow on the roads.

You could take short cuts off the sides of the hills!
...and I'm sorry to hear about the thefts. That's properly sh*t.

Blimey that’s just down the road. I shall see you there.
Not massively happy about having to join strava to do it though...
