We decided last time - If you get rid of the camelback and carry your water in Sainsbury's bags hanging off the handlebars, you can always deny all knowledge of the trial and say you're out shopping.

One word of warning though - drink equal amounts from each side of the handlebar or the balance goes t1ts up.

The club/ACU doesn

You need road Insurance to tax the bike anyway so what th point of having the ACU insurance? or am I missing something
