Great service at Pearce Cycles in Ludlow...pleasant and courteous drivers unlike Qld. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather for a couple of hours out on 2 wheels. Here's hoping the...

Contemplating a change of air mattress...
I haven't looked at air mattresses for years as we have various exped ultralight ones here. However, we've had a few issues with the seams between sections popping open, and another has a slow leak.
