We've just had a bunch more of the fabulous King Titanium water bottle cages arrive. These cages are super strong, weigh less than two Jammie Dodgers (27g actually) and are guaranteed for life. They'll not only hold your bottle or battery pack on the roughest descents, they'll also make the young ladies swoon*.

Tough, light, simple and lovely - what more do you need?

Titanium ones are £34.99 and Stainless Steel are £12.99.

The Big Bike Ride...

    Fancy a nice ride over the weekend of June 11th and 12th  2005? Well, in order to help raise funds towards the development of the new Haywood Hospital, a ride is being organised, based around the Cheshire Cycleway. The route is 178 miles through some of the most scenic and beautiful parts of the county and you can ride as much or as little of it as you like. Looking to raise £100,000 they need as many riders, to raise as much in sponsorship, as possible.

Local news update...

End of an era...

    Mike has closed the Post Office at the end of the road and it's been turned into some kind of weird junk shop that's never open - now I have to get in the van and drive hundreds of miles to get to the 'big' post office and be served by grumpy old women. It's just rubbish, so I'm going to send Ag instead. While he's there I'll phone the post office help line and sit in a queue, being told how important my call is to them and eventually speak to someone equally unhelpful who will tell me that it will cost £400 a year to get my post collected on a daily basis.

Arghhhh.
