You bastard Foss, just finished fitting one of our trials tyres to Grasy's bike (worked last year on the pea-gravel). We have travelled 1500 mile to collect bikes and arrive in Ohio for our first race, many thanks to Bill and Nancy Davis and family, David Gras,Tom Laird and family,Willard Kelley, Paul Covert and the many people we have meet along the way.
