Hey man! Welcome. Great to have ya here.

I haven't heard of "Bilboa"...I'm going to have to check it out.

You may wanna hit the space bar and a random punctuation now and then:lol:...easier to keep track of your post. :thumb:


Sucks when your bike is down for maintenance, but it'll be that much sweeter when you get your brakes and rubber.


Cheers.

Welcome aboard "hodgey". I was 14 when I went on my first multi-day tour with a school buddy. Although I had an old, huge, heavy, man's single gear bike, we had a fantastic adventure (52 years ago), and if I could turn the clock back, would love to do it again.
