thanks ronmac im off tommorow on the early train its mainly the wind and cold that plus i cant garantee the roads so im going to do the sensible thing and leave the bike at home but i was tempted again while i was reading cycling plus today i waas reading the article about the guy who cycled to tip of south america on tandem picking up peaple as he went along. anyway ive got a trip planed for april to northern spain with the bike this time so i ill look forward to doing some riding there ive never been there before so it should be great
