pizan7586 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Has anyone learnt anything new this weekend!?! If so what, here's the chance for everyone to do a little bragging! I personally learnt to make sure I check my tire pressure before a ride as 5 minutes in a quick trip to the bike shop was needed for a new tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well, I re-discovered that I could 180 into a 180 tyre tap which was rather interesting, also that learning up to front was a choice, and that buying a 3L bladder for my bag and filling it up with water at home saves a lot of money as there is no need to buy any drink whilst out.
