The Route
Oh, by the way, we’ve heard the one about going down hill. For the record, it’s actually harder “down hill”, because you’re cycling into a head wind all the way, as you can see, we’re not sensitive to the down hill joke.
I apologize for this dull page, but some may find it interesting, Matt has! (Many thanks to him though, as I have not lifted a finger in this department.)
