| Yes - Martin was in this morning eagerly looking for a copy of the mag ;-) |
| From: Ian (youthofficer@oxford.anglican.o) on 28 September 2007 |
Delighted to receive the mag as ever BUT there may be a a problem with some copies (or maybe just mine). Pages 19 -26 are not present but I do have a generous number of copies of pages 27 -34.
Hey, Ho!
Regards and thanks for a GREAT mag as ever,as well as some articles, so good they are printed twice ;-) |
| From: Peter Eland (Peter@velovision etc) on 28 September 2007 |
| Aargh - sorry to hear that Ian. If you could let me know your full name and/or sub number please (by email, or ring me) I'll get a non-defective copy out to you ASAP! This is the second case I've heard about so far... hoping there aren't too many more! |
| From: Arch (@KM) on 28 September 2007 |
Oh dear. Sounds like in future, the highly trained packing crew will have to read every magazine to check! Could take some time...
Mine's fine, BTW... ;-) |

| Peter. Eurobike looks like it would be a good day out.As is Spezi. Have you ever thought about organising a coach/plane/train trip to either of these shows? I'm sure there are plenty of sad bike/recumbent 'geeks' out there like me who would love to go and drool over all those lovely bikes and stuff but can't be arsed to organise it themselves. |
| From: Geof (byegad@btinternet.com) on 29 September 2007 |
| Now that's a good idea, an outing for a load of us to Eurobike next year. |
| From: Peter Eland (peter@velovision) on 1 October 2007 |
Mmm, not sure I fancy organising it! Hard enough organising myself :-(
Will have a word with Chop Rossiter (see VV 27 p. 52) and see what he says about a coach. Quite a long trip down there to either SPEZI or Eurobike and 'spect it might pricey, but maybe worth investigating... |
| From: Chop! (chop@long-john.com) on 3 October 2007 |
Peter contacted me & we're sorting out prices at the moment, the main advantage (as the Boulder Climbers found out, with their regular weekends in France) is that you would be travelling in a large bus designed to take up to 16 people with all the comforts of home and with built in accomodation! No need to worry about hotels. We could park at a campsite for showers, power hook up (we do also have a 240v generator)
Also there is quite a lot of room for bikes & trikes in the luggage bays.
Have a peek here :-

| Magazine received, Great Eurobike article. I also visited the fair but did not see all the stuff you mention. It is in fact the greatest cyclingfair, maybe a new name GLOBALBIKE... |

| Why do I have to read issue 27 here first, I still waiting for the magazine to come, thinking about to spent my money elswhere. |
