Rocco

So many people new Rocco, and so many have herd of him

There are a lot of stories of how others met him or how he would turn up in the most unexpected places.

I was on a sailing ship as a member of crew that set sail from Southampton bound for the Gran Canary Island, and, somewhere out at sea a week into the trip I got chatting to another blind guy on the ship and he was a cyclist a stoker on a Tandem, I just happened to menschen Rocco’s Name and the guy said O Yes I know Rocco.

Even in mid Atlantic he was known of

Once you had met him you could not forget him or his voice

What a Nice Guy he was

RIP MATE

BAR END SHIFTER FIX

Received the new bar end shift for the 9 S Gear changer 

There was a fault with the one on the Tandem there was just to much play in it to hold the chain  in  in place, when gear changing, replaced it to night and all went well no problems just a bit time consuming .

And had to replace the cable ends as one or two where a bit raged. All fixed now and running 100% 

again

Ros and Patrick test ride

The Tandem was taken out to day by  Ros and Patrick
for a spin as there interested in finding out more about the Greenspeed and It was Great to show it off and let them have a play on it, really nice to  a good chat about my findings and experiences on it,  I think even Patrick’s guide dog was impress. It was really nice to meet you and thanks for the meal.

Is it not the way of things, test riding in the rain and  after you left the sun came out!

A new trainee Co Capitan Muhayman

3rd March 2012


As Adrian was Having breakfast at T5 — at BA CONCORD LONGE, off on his Honeymoon instead of riding the Tandem! Very inconsiderate of him J
So I have a new trainee Co Capitan Muhayman to day and did his first trip out to day. I think he did quite well for a first attempt at flying the Greenspeed, he has a lot to learn but a few hours in the seat should see him alright. He has to remember to avoid hills. I did have a nice flat direct root worked out, however he wished to make a detour and we found our selves some hills! He will learn on a long run LOL. He seemed to enjoy himself and he put up with me which is harder than riding the Tandem so he has passed hid first test. J next time we will get it in top gear, at least he did not scream like Adrian did on his first downhill descent.

COOL RUNING.
