Any female cyclists out there?

I'll willingly be another one, all I need is someone to donate a
windcheetah... ;-)

If anyone will donate a Trice, I'll be another one - in the Norfolk outpost ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Hey ho. If you had customers that behave like testing a Backup Exec
installation, which involves an awful lot of waiting around to see if
things go wrong, then that would be less of a problem! OTOH, though it
means I have a lot of spare /minutes/ the *hours* have been pretty
appalling lately :-(

Pete.

Yeah, my job's similar sometimes. I work from home (nice) but will
eventually go back on call (not so nice) and even so, when I do go out
to site the hours are long, both on site and in the car there and back...

It does mean that I can sometimes lurk here during the days when work's
not quite so hectic, though not as much as when I was 'actively seeking
employment' like the last few months!!!

Nowt wrong with that. There are few more enlightening and entertaining
displacement activities than perusing and posting to URC.

Now, where did I put that CV?

I'm planning on taking a maintenence class but would love to have - and
recommend - a bookshelf primer.

My maintenance book is a rather old one by Rob van der Plas, and though
I think it's pretty good I could really do with something a bit more up
to date. So I'll throw the same question out to everyone else...

But on the Web, look at the Park Tools repair advice pages at
http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQindex.shtml and
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ is a goldmine of cycling stuff.

I have found latest Haynes manual useful from time to time.

I've just started attempting my own bike maintenance, I use the latest
Haynes Bike Book alot (although I think the earlier edition was more
noobie-friendly). Haynes Bike Book has, as you'd expect, lots of
pictures, which I need.

Try 'Zinn on the Art...' - excellent, clear, comprehensive, well
illustrated.

I lived in Leicester for 3 years (did my BSc. there). And at least as
far as most of the student societies are concerned, Leicester-on-Sea
/is/ Skegness.

Nah - it's definitely Chelsea-on-Sea, Knightsbridge-on-Sea or Islington-on-Sea
these days. The supermarkets even have special Range Rovers for doing the
shopping deliveries for the wealthier escapees from London at the weekends.
It's pushed the price of property up a huge amount. Those City annual bonuses
buying the quaint Norfolk seaside cottages outright.
