Oh no!
The BBC News website is down. What does this mean? The end of civilisation?!
No, the main BBC site is down too!
Panic!

I have a Campagnolo Seat Post Clamp (worth £13) to give to anyone who needs it.
I bought it from Wiggle but bought the wrong size. This clamp is for min 31.6 – max 31.9mm posts.
I’ll post it free to a UK address only.
The catch? Please donate at least £5 to charity via the link below.
BUT before you donate, tell me that you’re going to (David@Dsquared.co.uk), I’ll reserve the clamp for you and then I’ll let others know (here) that the Clamp is no longer available.
Money goes to the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association (which I cycled in aid of a year ago).
Thanks!!!
Didn’t get around to finishing the Trek modifications over the weekend as I had a trip to Birmingham to see a friend.

Got out in the sunshine yesterday! A nice walk around fields and woodland with the camera, over three hours outside the house and not even a thought about work!

So, I managed to get out and take a look at the Trek today to clean it and change a few pieces. In the end, all I changed were the skewers.
In preparation for the cycling year ahead, I’ve changed the standard quick-release skewers on both wheels for allen key skewers from Halo (I bought the XL 10mm drop-out set). This should make the bike a little more anti-theft when it’s locked up outside a shop or pub(!).
The change over was very quick and simple. No special tools required and no grease.
I was going to change the quick-release seat post clamp but I’d bought the wrong size – I needed a 34.9mm clamp for the Trek so I’ve ordered another from Wiggle. So, the bike is now waiting for the new clamp and then next weekend (hopefully) I’ll fit that and then clean the bike ready for the warmer weather.

A security breach at popular UK-based biking site chainreactioncycles.com has been linked by victims to multiple instances of fraud…
The majority of fraudulent transactions reported seem to involve mobile phone top-ups to either Vodafone or O2, typically two transactions valued at £15 or so for a total fraudulent amount of £30. However, a small percentage of victims have been taken for thousands of pounds…
…Purchases at CRC between March 4 to 12 seem to be those most closely associated with subsequent fraud… [Text from The Register – click here]
