The pump they where using was a very good one. The noise made everyone STOP what they where doing. More than 40 odd in room :D. Was funny afterwards. Good for you Matt you will have a great experience.

Thanks Alan. Went for a shorter ride on Wednesday and not riding this weekend but feeling good, gave the bike a clean etc yesterday. Long day tomorrow as my lift is arriving just before 6am so I'll be getting up around 4.30-4.45. Hopefully going to the talk after the ride so I won't be home until after 9pm. Weather's looking perfect though!

What a fantastic event. 🙂 Chance to ride with two of the pros from TNN (the world's only all T1 pro cycling team) raising awareness of diabetes. I've signed up for the Bury to Stoke one. 😱🙂

When I was talking to Her I mentioned you & she must have thought I was mad. I told her "Matt Cycle" was doing a section on his bike :D

She was a really nice person and was the one who gave me and the bike a lift home after Thomas Raeymaekers talk. 🙂

She sent some pics of me chatting with Thomas at the talk
