Unfortunately i can't make this run which is a bummer coz your runs down Cornwall are awesome My RA is back with a vengeance and i really need to lay off all exercise for the foreseeable future
On a positive note, i bought a 51 plate Peugeot Expert 2.0 HDI 110 BHP van yesterday, it's minters needs a bit of a service filters/oil ect but am really pleased with it and it also means any i can come on any runs further afield now.
Misery amidst the rotting scraps of the ships stores!
Have just discovered that The Admiral has summoned me to council until 2 of the clock on Saturday! Maybe I can join this motley crew for a few lanes in the pm? Fixer, a route path please.
Glum in the sun!

Adam..... have you looked at Gold injections... worked with a Proffessor Waltham Weeks in 70s ( in my Medical Days) who was getting some good results.
Thanks for the tip Withybrook i have looked into every conceivable remedy for RA from natural remedies to meditation techniques to all the new and up coming drugs including more controversial "herbal" remedies, there is nothing anyone can do or any drug that can help when your in a flare up, you just have to grin and bare it and ride it out.
Seeing the Rheumatologist soon, hopefully he will have a plan up his sleeve for me, i live in hope
Can't do saturday got toooooo maintain her, spokes are gettin loose (been ignoring 2 of them), dent in ex pipe needs attention, yes the valves need doing again etc etc, wallet needs replenishing again if you can help!!!
Sorry Andy may have to drop out of this one depending on Fowlers of Bristol/Damerells. Finally got round to changing my rear brake pads and decided it would be easier and safer to completely overhaul the rear caliper as it was in such a state. So it was duly stripped down and and sand blasted now waiting on new seals and pad retaining pins, as the old ones had to be drilled and removed using easy outs. Then just a case of replacing brake fluid and bleeding the rear system. What maintenance on my bike, with my reputation
09.30hrs at Saltash Services. We won't be later than 15.30 back to Saltash as the Tour de France starts tomorrow and LenB and me would like to see it live.
