Well after failing to post for months...I've moved countries from the flatest to probably one of the steepest. Therefore this old blog is dead. I've moved onto a new one right here...

Will post something soon. Lets just say the weather is not conclusive to cycling at the moment with at least 10cm of snow each day over the last week. New bike over a week old and still waiting for it's first ride....
