Next weekend
Well this time next Friday I should be in my tent after a good ride down and my first port of call will be Bridport in Dorset.
The tent has been up and appears to be water tight
The day I put it up, I left it up over night.
That night it rained and continued to rain for a couple of days, when it finally stopped I checked it out and no leaks.
I made sure it dried out completely, then packed it away.
I will try it again during the week and spend a night in there.this time

Visit to the bike shop
On my way back home, I called into The Bicycle Chain in Bridgwater and looked @ the Dawes Galaxy 2012 model.
Well I had to take her for a spin on their test track and OMG what a ride, and I knew I had to buy her.
As I am getting it on the cycle saver scheme through work all the paper work had to be filled in.
So as spring is here, followed hopefully a good summer and weekends away and even a weeks tour is on the cards

Dawes Galaxy
Yesterday I went out for a spin and I went to look @ my LBS and I am interested in another touring bike.
I looked @ the Dawes Nomad the one they had in stock was 2012 model and was too small for me.
The guy told me that the 2013 touring range had changed and the Vantage, Nomad and the Horizon are no longer available but they have increased the Galaxy range.
The one I am interested in is the Galaxy Plus, the Galaxy Plus has disc brakes.
This is not available till 2nd of April, so when it is in stock I will be going to have a look.
In the mean time I will continue to use the Karakum.
