    Hats off to the cyclists - Still pouring into town at 5.30 down by the Steine.

    In fairness I don't recall the Worthing to Selsey route having any significant hill climbs involved. I reckon yesterday's route took in over 700 metres of ascent (2300ft). Took us about 4.5hrs, with a 6:30 start, but we were taking it easy. I was amazed how many slow cyclists there were...

    Microsoft Word Advise

    Check on your start menu, all programs, and look for a sub folder called Microsoft Office. If you've 'accidentally' installed a newer version you should see two Microsoft Word icons. Click on the older one and it should work.

    O/T Windows XP Service Pack 3 Help!!!

    Running a defrag on a disk with faults is like revving a car engine to 9000 rpm for an hour when it sounds a bit low on oil. Let the checkdisk do it's thing. If it continually requires it, try running "chkdsk c: /r" at a command prompt, it will ask if you want to schedule it for the next...
