I am sure most of you will have read that my Marin Muirwoods 29ER ’09 bike is no more. Due to fixing a big crack in the frame. So I have ordered myself a new bike from Rutland Cycling. Which all going well, I should get at some point this week. I am getting a “Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike – 2013” at a cost of £525. Which I am paying £150 for. My Mum and Dad are paying the rest! Since they know, I could not life without a bike. So big thanks to them for helping to pay for it!!

Great bike!
Great machine! We’ll have to meet up and go for a little run on our respective new bikes soon!
Yes we do really. Must we at least 2 years ago since we did that short cycle around Stamford and the local area.
I think it was in May 2011.
