NECCL RD9 & General Update

Last Saturday was the last round of the NECCL 2017 CX series. The ground conditions were challenging for the riders and the organisers who tried to miss the sheet ice as much as possible. There was loads of U12 kids as the Tyneside Vagabonds were holding there club champs. Onto the main race and riders were still fighting for points / positions in their relevant leagues. We done to all the riders who finished the race and also finished the season league. The AGM followed with a good turn out and fantastic to see new organisers / venues coming forward for the 2018 season.
Well done to all involved.

Also apologies for the lack of updates but I have not been out on the bike as I am still not feeling well and been busy with vehicle problems -
My Peugeot Partner van 12000 miles and less than 2 years old conked out - Fuel filter failed due to petrol companies trying to save too many pennies and not putting enough winter additive in their diesel. Long storey cut short Peugeot would not pay for the repair or contribute to the lab or part.
Prices varied from £125, £105 and £85 for the same job from dealers. Part only just under £50. Aftermarket filter around £21 and a Peugeot filter from Ebay just over £20. So I bought one off ebay and fitted it myself as the part is not covered under warranty! took 10-15mins from start to finish and the van is back on the road.
Angus's second car was due for an mot this week and passed.
I serviced my mums Matiz car and rear brakes were sticking. Two new pistons required and full clean down /overhaul of rear drums.
Then onto my sisters Agila - same again two new pistons, one was seized solid. Next up is there two Mot's, oh happy days.

And some reading material landed this week for over Crimbo / New Year.
Talking of that Fresh Goods Sunday is having a festive break and will return back after the New Year.
