If it is good at pulling, I'll be sitting on your wheel for the windy straights Go for the Bianchi - it is worth the pain!

Hills? What were they thinking putting hills there?!

The 08:15 ferry is higly busy with bikes, and there is also a queue for tickets. If you can book it will save you time and guarrantee that you don't miss the ferry.

hills, there are hills.... pah! I laugh at the hills and ... oh you mean up hills and not just down hills

 

[CopperBrompton]

Do you think there's still time for us to get a petition together to ensure all the hills go in the correct downward direction?

Nice thought.....!! The ones on the short route (which I did last year) were bad enough.....
