heather said… Don, read your post today about why you are a slow cyclist. I am too due to long term ill health that includes fatigue, so usually cycle by myself. Hope you feel a bit better knowing that you are not the only AC member who cannot keep up with groups on long, fast and/or hilly rides.

Don, was there a chrome bottle holder with the box of goodies, surplus to your requirements? I need to replace 1 of my 3 holders, but the closest I can get is matte aluminium. Expect to see you at the workshop this Saturday.
