    Evans. grr

    I'm feeling just slightly blummin cross. :evil: I placed an order with Evans on the 8th March for two items. They took payment for both and sent one item. I contacted them yesterday to ask when the other one would be sent and they say they are expecting a delivery from their supplier on 1st...

    Helmets

    I hear that the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) has issued a directive to Cycling Scotland that requires them to only feature cyclists who are wearing helmets and refusing to authorise a television advertisement which showed a rider without a helmet – claiming that to do so would be ‘socially...

    Evans sale - Womens Altura Synchro shorts £19.99

    I ordered a pair on Sunday and they arrived today - free postage. A lot cheaper than the last pair I bought. These are the 2012 design but who cares! http://www.evanscycles.com/products/alt ... s-ec022306

    NEC Cycle Show Ticket prices - a rant

    We had thought me might try and get to the Cycle Show this weekend but have been totally put off by their ticket prices and policy. Because we can't book in advance, it will cost £16 each to get in (we'd only save £5 between the pair of us if we were able to book in advance) PLUS £10 for...

    Christmas - a rant

    OK, I absolutely love Christmas.... :xmas-big-grin: BUT..... ....does it really need to be advertised yet? So far, this week, I've seen Mince Pies in Christmas type boxes (sell by date 31st October 13, bizarrely); Christmas cards in the newsagents and a bliddy Christmas display (santa's letter...

    What Bank Holidays are for...

    It's been fantastic to have a long weekend, decent weather and no commitments. Yesterday we had an excellent 30 mile ride in the Yorkshire Wolds and today we had an excellent 30 mile ride in the Lincolnshire Wolds (well, just a bit south of). To be able to get off the beaten track and explore...

    Strava v Sporttracks

    I have a Garmin 305 which Andy bought off someone here (ta v much :D ). I use it every time we go out and download our rides to Sport-tracks. I like having a map of where we've been as well as details of heart rate/speed/elevation (quite often below sea level in some areas round here :? ) etc...

    Hull Sky Ride Sun 21st August

    Is anyone going to the Hull Sky Ride? We thought we'd park on the south side of the bridge (saves us £6 - oh yes, we're tight) and cycle into Hull and do a couple of circuits of the Sky Ride (making sure all food establishments get a visit!). If anyone's about, I'm the short fat hairy one on...

    New Trail in the Lincolnshire Wolds

    I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but Lincs County Council (and others) are creating a new trail using bridleways and quiet lanes in the Lincolnshire Wolds - it's about 75 miles long and should be open in Spring 2012. They're calling it the Lindsey Trail - it takes in a fair bit of the...

    Tearooms we know and love

    Hello all, I thought it was about time we made some contribution to the site so here goes with some of our favourite tea stops. At the Lincoln end of the Water Railway there's a good little cafe that's very welcoming to cyclists - not sure what it's called. It's on the sort of industrial...
