Tommy xs Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not long now Drew, I’ve just got back from getting my rear tyre done, not fitted it back on bike yet as weather is too hot, I’ll do it later when it’s a bit cooler (after the game). I will have to start packing over the weekend as won’t get much time next week after work, I could be scrubbing in my new tyre on route as really busy at the moment and not been getting out on bike at all. What a waste of all that great weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
