Red Hill
How do I get a quote "box" to seperate the quote from my message?

Comment: I take my bike on the bus, but its a dulie, I dont know about the heavy d/h bikes.
But what to do is get a large bike box, and enough metres of seat belt webbing to wrap around the box, 2 inch is best, and two stainless steel buckles, ( from ship chandlers like Whitworth`s etc) after breaking down the bike to fit in the box, you wrap the webbing around both ends of the box, using the buckels so as each end wrapping conects to the other end, and that gives you a shoulder strap to carry it with. Dont buy to little, measure the box.
It`s a bit of hassel, you need to find somewhere to store the box for your return journey and it adds extra dissasembly and assembly time at each end, I use it for longer journeys and it works well, like Newport to the Blue Mountains, via a city Central bound bus, often they won`t charge you an extra fare, ferry`s are easier though.
Question: Red Hill, I used to ride it years ago, xc, what are you fellows running a regular series, is it dh or xc, how often and whats your meeting time and place etcetera, regards William.
