uk.rec.cycling is where you're posting these updates about your (very
detailed and a real nostalgia trip for me, who remembers spending the odd
sunny afternoon walking around the Fallowfield loop near Levenshulme station
when I was a student before Sainsbury's was put there) website.

Cyclingforums.com is just a way of viewing uk.rec.cycling, which has existed
since before the web, although they don't make the fact that they're not
running it as prominent as many think they should.
uk.rec.cyling is a usenet group. See
http://www.cyclingforums.com/t74445.html to see what usenet groups are.

The link would be <a href="news://uk.rec.cycling">uk.rec.cycling</a> . The
link won't work if you put http:// in front of it. As it's fairly likely
that the user won't have a newsreader configured, it may also be helpful to
put additional links in brackets to
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/uk.rec.cycling and
http://www.cyclingforums.com/f171-uk.rec.cycling.html .

Gah. I keep meaning to actually only contribute posts about cycling when I
post, and I don't seem to have managed it yet. Went out on my bike today for
the first time in two months (I broke my wrist). Just 500m down the road,
but it felt nice. My wrist isn't happy changing gear yet, but apart from
that it's OK. My dad used the bike once or twice when I couldn't, it felt as
if my knees were going to fall apart when I was riding. Apparently my legs
are much longer than his. Given that I'm in my late twenties and that wasn't
the case a few years ago, it's a bit unsettling.

Anyway, it was also the first time I rode my bike since my 7 speed hub gear
was replaced and it seemed really smooth. I'm not entirely sure what went
wrong before (the LBS did all the work), but it seems it was mainly a
problem with the cones but it needed a part on special order which would
take 6 months so it was easier just to put a new hub body in, which I think
is what was done. Looking forward to another go.

Hopefully I'll be up and posting about my cycling life again soon.

Jon, I mean a reference to this newsgroup!

Hi,
I will add the link to this site once my webmaster is back from his holidays.
I have been out on my bike getting some more pictures of the route - specifically looking at the ways on and off. Hopefully this will enhance the map.

Thanks
JON
