Come and get your polo Brooks!

I'll be in all day so anybody that wants to come around and pick out a saddle give me a ring on oh seven nine four nine three one two five seven one.

Also swing by if you feel like getting your hands dirty helping out with some polo bikes.

actually, given the weather, I think I'll forgo the 30 odd mile slog in the pissing rain and collect my saddle another time!

Ya know, as soon as it stopped raining a bit I went out and promptly cut that cable like a hot knife through butter.

Then it started raining again...

(good news, I got that buggered wheel sorted)
