It’s arrived. My new Surly Crosscheck cyclo cross bike for use in the crap Scottish winter weather so I don’t go arse over tit on the snownice. And after only a mere two weeks in the making which is pretty good, nearly as good in fact as saying your bike is custom built. Oh man!

Lovely shiny bits in red and black – my new favourite bike colours. Will have to get an appropriate set of clothing to match.

Thanks all you lovely people at Walkers finest cycling emporium – I hereby award you the freedom of Kilmaurs

Proud parent

it means the tyres!!
