Excellent Jack, now you can be a proper member of mid-Essex Team Genesis. I will be on my Flyer, Tomsk on his Day One and Jiber and Tippers on their Croix de Fers (Croisses de Fer ?). Hopefully we can form the usual peloton at some point in the ride and you can tow me back to Arrivee.
Old AUK clichés: Righteously long red rear mudflap for saintly towing duties on skoggy lanes, B17, Carradice Barley [of course] - the sandals will probably be staying at home for a month or two though.
I'm too new to this to be a cliché. Hang on; Walomatic Enterprises Inc long rear mudflap -check, B17 - check, Carradice - check, stupid additional miles - check, steel frame - check, spd pedals - check, riding 200km in February - check... At least I don't have SPD sandals
