Re: Giro d'Italia

That wet descent today in the middle of the stage was real butt clenching, teeth bearing stuff.... :shock:

A slightly depresssing thread in some ways for One who has both taken advantage of other riders generosity and I have been able to help the odd one or two along the way. And not just when trail riding! ;) Best one was 2-3 years ago, I was picking up a heating oil tank from neat Barrow. I had had a b...
