Not sutre if this has already been posted but when transporting your lovely new bike on the roof don't go into a multi story carpark.

I won't be doing that again in a hurry.  Fortunately there weren't any walkers along the river path this time.  Unlike last year when the wheels fell off the bed and I jumped up

Apologies for the diversion form the topic, but this did remind me of a spectacle I saw at a toll station on a French motorway last month - three lovely racing bikes on a car roof slamming into a sign that contained a warning not to drive under it with bikes on the roof of your car.

Everyone is different and my lumbar puncture was a total non-event. I've had more trouble picking a zit!
(My personal experience from the other side is that the procedure is really difficult to perform on thick-set Asian men. Sorry, I seldom had trouble doing them on others!)

Make sure you have lots of soft drinks over the next few days and lie down at the first hint of a headache if possible.

Thinking of you...

Boy, I learned that one....

[goatpebble]

When camping in the Alps, shoot all the Murmeltier near your tent, just in case.

The dear sweet Murmeltier, with their sqeaky call, and the cute way they watch you from on top of a rock, without hiding!
