Thanks to Arvy for his organisation skills and sally for the delicious cake. Also Clara for making me do the TT. See you guys next tuesday...

Gabor is a nutter...I keep trying to put some brakes on that thing but he's having none of it.
Saw that you left a couple of things for us to think about, and I appreciate the input. It's still early days and we've got a lot to learn and improve on. Stop by again soon, when I'm not out on a 120km training ride...

:P Glad you guys like the name, pop in and say hi when we open the shop, it will be pretty soon! I had to think long and hard about naming it Hadron...
