NEC Bike Show

01 November 2006 17:23

Today, I went to the NEC Bike Show with Matt and I met dad there.

I had planned to get there quite early but the van rental (I hired a van because I'm buying some bicycles after the show) took much longer than I had intended.

After getting the van I picked up Matt and then got stuck in traffic almost straight away then took the wrong turn twice on the was to Birmingham, we eventually arrived at the NEC at 11:30 instead of the 10:00 I had hoped for.

We found dad without too much trouble and then me aid Matt split up from dad and his mate Jeff aid visited all the stalls.

I had hoped to get a rideout on a Honda Varadero but by the time we found the booking stall, all the places were booked.

I did get myself some padded riding trousers for £80 and dad found me a right angle tyre valve apdater so I can fill my tyres with air at petrol stations.

We finally finished at about 15:OO and headed back to the Van to collect the bicycles from Nottingham.
