coming back from birmingham, via worksop(notts) last weekend on the loan bike i found out that my all weather gear isnt 'all weather' any more. got home took my gear off n loked like id wet myself!!!, or maybe i had?lol. my wife has said she will come with me too, she hasnt ever been on a bike befor. its not her thing!, you could have knocked me over with a fish fart when she said 'ill come too'. so even more of a reason to make an effort to get there?
