    winter basic maintanence skills (part 2)

    my MD has said we are welcome to use the consolidation centre again in November, seeing as we left it clean and tidy and didnt burn it down. I will check dates etc and post a suitable date if anyone is interested.

    Would have been even cleaner except for the oil spill. Can't remember whose fault that was.....

    Sounds like an excellent idea.
    Do you have plenty of that inhibiting spray?
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I was not thinking about me I have plenty.
    I was thinking about the others who will turn up each could be treated to a coating as a bonus, as part of the winterization of the bikes.

    unfortunately not, however there is a fairly cheap hotel opposite - an etap which currently has 3 person rooms available at £45 per night or £15 each which is a bargain to be honest.
    we can leave bikes and kit there overnight as there is 24 hr security and the bikes will be locked inside.

    Me too, am sure it will be time to check my tyre pressure by then
    By the way it is like riding a different bike now, it's running so much better and strangely enough handles much better too now (yes I feel suitably embarrassed that the pressure was so low)
    Live and learn eh?!
