Also, I think I will not be able to make it to the Cycle Show this year as I may head home for the weekend instead. Will let you know if we plan something up in Birmingham. <br /><br />Best of luck with the house and babyAlbertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789158563391048740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114847493985579867.post-554338865731100192012-08-29T12:01:17.088+01:002012-08-29T12:01:17.088+01:00Many thanks for another great report.

Life is moving quickly at the moment - hoping to move house soon so I haven't committed to going to this yet, but I'll be in town and would love to see you again. Must go out for a decent Ale, and I guess I am your best guide in Birmingham for that. Contact me on CC.<br /><br />One tip for Oban. If you get caught in the Whisky tasting route, don't be afraid of adding water. Whilst some may turn their nose up at this, there are many connoisseurs of the "Water of Life" that see nothing wrong with adding water, even up to a 50/50 mix, especially if the water is the same as that they use in making the Whisky in the first place. I prefer it like that - more taste, less alcohol burn.

And congrats once again on finishing that ride - certainly the toughest 200 for me to date!<br /><br />Will let you know if we are up in the Birmingham any time soon. I am still toying with the idea of going up to the cycle show in the NEC, but I recall you said you might be in Oban by then?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Albertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789158563391048740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114847493985579867.post-28178026032803020092012-08-28T15:55:48.693+01:002012-08-28T15:55:48.693+01:00"Jim" here. Thanks again for the company..."Jim" here. Thanks again for the company. Near the end I had started to de-hydrate and had nothing in the legs. Cereal bar was no use, and finally stopped for a pint of milk. After that went down I was back on form again. Sorry for getting you to re-trace your steps.<br /><br />Thanks for the company and for sticking with me - company was much appreciated.James Russellnoreply@blogger.com
