Thanks for all your suggestions and comments.
After reading speedlime's input (sorry to hear that, mate) I think I will have a look on freecycle or gumtree for a mountain bike for those 2 days a year that I will be afraid to get on the Ten!


I'm actually more concerned for the bike than I am for myself!

Still gonna put some knobblies on for the winter though, Mitas E09's look like the best/cheapest idea...
