    Haha…. ;D
    Glad I did it on Saturday – the lanes out of Lydbrook have been iced up since Sunday morning: hasn’t got above freezing today on our hill….

    Andy, ses,
    Thanks for the words of wisdom: sounds a good strategy….. hadn’t thought of that combination but it seems pretty logical: I’m on the case now! 8)

    Andy, if not rugbying I’ll see if I can join en route. Any start/mid-point info?

    Andy,
    commuting along the Tewkesbury-Ledbury-Ross country roads racks a few miles up. If your ride-outs come north into west Gloucestershire then let me know: if my boy isn’t playing rugby (I’m the team photographer) i’ll try and tag along…

    Radar,
    look forward to seeing you on some 2015 trips, especially the TT!  :D

    Well, made a miserly 8 miles today after work, dodging kamikaze pheasants and keeping a wary eye open for boar & deer: nearly took out two does yesterday evening in the car.
    So the TDM is now in for a service & MOT – I’ve had it for one year: my 2015 resolution is to do more than the paltry 4,000 miles I managed in 2014. Should be simple now I’ve remembered how to go round corners…. albeit still slowly!
    Must admit, getting back to biking after 19 years off has been a blast: can’t wait for the Welsh tour, Britanny trip, the TT and a Scottish trip lined up for this year…..

    Still 8 miles more than most of us! Three bike shops that close – heaven… 50 mile round trip out here to visit 3….
    Hoping for a dry day tomorrow to get the first hill-climb of the year in: got to get a second hose-pipe to enable pressure-washing of the drive to winkle out the moss and trapped leaves – then should be able to tackle it even when wet….  :P

    The Kwack was worth the admission price on its own….  :)

    I’ll be riding up with my neighbour Jed (a Brummie now resident in the Forest) unless it’s torrential… No doubt see you at the tea shop if you’re there on the 28th  :D

    My bike tent was somewhat more expensive when new, but is over 25 years old now…. took it around France on the XJ900 in 1990  :)
