Hi everyone I have not been around for a while due to other commitments, but I am now back.  Hi to everyone who remembers me; if anyone from the old days is still around, and everyone who I have not yet met! This year though I have been busy racing my road bike (pedal cycle) and so had to shut...

No problems. I could meet you there, or I am going to the blue planet on sat morning so can meet you near there or anywhere along the way (normally m56) if that is better?
