Re: At last ; an event I can excel at! :roll: +1 for it being near to a station.

Re: Not found one yet type of bump.

Re: I clearly don't ride enough ! :oops: Would like to both thank everyone and also apologise for my godawful performance whenever the trail went uphill ; sincerely thank you all for waiting/not stabbing me with a screwdriver and leaving me to rot or be eaten by the magic teleporting brown dog...
