Where you are:North East Scotland - Aberdeen (for the next 5 months although will be floating around Glasgow and hopefully Glentress/Innerleithen over the summer. Also London for maybe a week or so in the summer. Having said that, I'll be flying back via New York (stopover for about a week, i reckon) in September/October time and would love to be able to either catch up with any farkers there or at least find a bike shop that'll hire me a decent bike (preferably street) to play about with for a week.
Things you can offer advice on: Where to drink. Where not to drink. What not to say to a group of tracksuit wearing teenage glaswegian thugs who ask if you're a celtic or rangers fan. Why to avoid anything even vaguely resembling a brothel. Or a casino for that matter. Good beers to try, Great whisky to try. Who you should give that spare ticket to Glastonbury/Reading/T in the Park -that you jammy backpackers always seem to get- to. I've got a close relative who used to be a bike mechanic for the likes of Fabien Barel, Nathan Rennie (only the once, mind), Brendan Fairclough and Rab from Halfords Bikehut. He's pretty handy at the old tinkering and is my source of transport down to the 7stanes but he's pretty busy with work so I can't promise anything but he is a whizz with bikes, is always keen to lend a hand and has more spare parts lying around his pad than Heather Mills...
Keen to meet up?:if yer getting the rounds in...
Contact method:PM. Thankfully farkin still slips through most filters out on the rigs (unlike bloody facebook)
