Hi all
       A good man from the amtra club delivered my amtra jersy to me and had a brief look over my bike.
He noticed that I had a tiny amount of play in my front wheel bearings , about 0.5 mm , and said that I better get them soon . I thought that I would still have many hours left in them but after the Neerim ride on sunday the 0.5 mm play turned into 3mm play . So i'm off to get bearing now.
...........and front brake pads too ,as I noticed they were getting a bit thin too.
any way....check your bikes like i do but not offen enough   ...I'm sure there will be something out there...
