How did the cycling go?[/QUOTE]

Just back! Great thanks Gary, 40 years ago we would often cycle up to the Peak district on a Sunday, sometimes doing a round trip of 70 miles - now we can take the van and cycle/ walk more leisurely. (the roads were much quieter then so we could utilise the A roads to get up there.)
We did a twenty mile round trip with a 3 pint beer stop and a light lunch.

The air temperature was 0C or below with a slight sprinkling of snow on the ground, which made the trail and surrounds quite scenic. So we had a good ride and a good walk the previous day. If you can get good winter conditions it does lift ones spirits!

Did you sort out the Electric bikes Trev? We got one for the wife a couple of years ago since Arthritis began taking its toll. Been a revelation, she would easily get 60 miles out of a charge an it means I am not always waiting for her at the top of every hill (she waits for me now)
