I got out on the push bike for a wee pedal with Dave this afternoon, the first cycle in over a week. The trails are still pretty fucked with the ice though. Sometimes cycling through that is like trying to shit on the ceiling! Its forecast for more cold so no let up yet.

Ah cool...i had one of them once!, if you hit a false neutral you can go in to the house for a cuppa before the revs drop!,
