Thanks for the tips girls. The eucalyptus oil option sounds promising. I managed to pick some of the glue off after I soaked it in warm water so the eucalyptus might help with the stubbon stuff.

Yes CorsairMac - it was an excellent ride. They only started planning it in September and was organised by ASO - the guys who do the TdF and everyone I spoke to at the finish said it was a fantastic experience.

It was also to give some of the British motor cycle police some cycle race experience as we're really hoping to have the Tour start in London in the next couple of years.
