Sorry it’s been a slow news week! Not really been doing much at all, since my bike died on my last week! All going well, should get him back in the next day or so!! Not been out a cycle now since 17th July! The second, I get him back. I will make sure, I get in lots of new cycles! Which of course, will mean lots of new Lycra photos!!
So I will leave you, with photos that were taken on this day back in 2013!
