That was what I'd thought originally, but I'd assumed that I'd misunderstood once I saw the apparently finished article.

I was unable to make it to many of the Zoom or Bust sessions so I'd be OK! :-) I rode Zoom or Bust a couple of times at the weekend and really enjoyed it so it'd be good to extend it to its "as it was originally intended" length. I think that would result in our handiwork being used and enjoyed a bit more.
