    [SIZE=1]I do have a complaint about my hope head torch though, it gives you a red mark on your head which isn't that becoming when you have to chat in the pub.[/SIZE]
    My helmet does that.

    You could always just leave the head torch on in the pub?

    Another solid 75 with Em yesterday taking in some climbing and then about 15 today (out of my pit too late to cycle from home!) on the cross bike up to the flanks of Pen-Y-Ghent to watch the race and take a few pics. An interesting descent down the rocky track to Horton where an 'Orange' mountain bike was attempting to chase me - CX proved to be the better machine .
