A SCRAT BAG tenant pretty much wrecked my house – looks like a tramp has lived in it – not happy as you can imagine. Been trying to sort out all weekend and it looks like next one too…. Lovely weather too… Ah well

What’s your excuse????

Im on nights.

AC Joint separation in my shoulder. a few more weeks of this boredom 😥

My Masters diss is due this week and I’ve been ill so I’m behind on the work. I have a house full of people who have been riding both days, jealous doesn’t even begin to cut it!

C.B.A. to be honest… but out all day tomorrow 😆

Busy being pulled around the Med on one of these;

Before spending the rest of the day sailing Lasers, Darts, SB3s and the like.

Then busy with a couple of cold beers.

im in africa working had my first day off in 35 days – then realised i actualyl had nothing to do all day so lazed in bed watching movies all day ! Ride the divide , cannonball run , charlie wilsons war and lucky number slevin

B@rney – you cant really have the rewards without the risks. Sorry, but that’s the way life works.

With my wife as our son was being born. (which is also the reason I haven’t been out on my bike for the last few weeks as I haven’t wanted to be to far away.

Haven’t done any proper riding as my shoulder’s not healed. Just a couple of quick 5-10 milers on the road bike.

No Africa, boats nor babies for me. I’m just ill and which ever way I looked at it, going out in the rain wasn’t going to make me any better. I indulged by going to look at bikes in all the available LBS though

what did you do mate?

dislocated F%^&ing shoulder.

owenfackrell congratulations.

Boken hip has been giving me lots of pain lately and I’ve had to work the past 3 Sundays and look after the kids on Saturday.

Been building trails instead of riding them, another 30m laid at Gisburn. Hurt now though 😥

same as Drac, nights 🙁
But off for the next 6 days 😆
Nights again next week but going to fit in the Hardrock Challenge in the middle 🙄

Wife working away so have two small children full time. Should have someone to take em on tues though so off to do the Hope Triple Eight, hopefully it’ll be battering down

what did you do mate?

Landed a bit sideways on the downslope of the big table at the bottom of FOD’s Ski Run track, otb onto outstretched arm which resulted in what the A+E doctor said is just stretched muscles. Something also definitely popped out as it went back in when I stood up, then came out again when I shut the car door with the damaged arm! Having googled the symptoms I think there may be some kind of rotator cuff damage as well (extremely painful to lift arm sideways and lift anything with the arm in front of my body) but then I’m not a doc!

Can do road rides easily (bit sore at the end) but anything involving the front end landing is still a bit painful.

I did ride but it wasn’t great – lacking in oomph.

Road on Friday evening – just local woods loop about 18 miles – so recovery day yesterday & doing family stuff – planed to do a 3 -31/2 hour road ride this morning before the F1 – but overslept – so plan B was to put the road bike on the turbo and do a 10mile TT fitness test – but oldest daughter ask me to go out in the car with her as her driving test is next week – then had to sort out youngest daughters laptop because tight arse school using open office rather then MS office and had to convert files – now no time before tea is ready

surrounded by Zulu’s – thats far too deep for my liking…

Was with my son – aged 4.5 – taking him on his first outdoor climbing sessions – he actually punched the air when he got to the top first time… exactly the reaction I was hoping for..

Coed Y Brenin with him next week!

Making the most of the autumn sun on the beach with the kids 🙂

I ride all week and take the weekends off to spend time with the wife 🙂

A good mates wedding yesterday – got back from the hotel in time for the grand prix. Very hung over.

Just back from a trade show, hope to be out tuesday night though

I have been out riding. Both days. HTH. 😉

Got a chest infection. Oh, and I had to work.

Rotator cuff injury last weekend has kept me off the bike, but then to top it all pulled something in my back yesterday getting a bike out. I feel like a right old crock.

Nights for me too, and only four days off this week due to “training” days on Thurs & Fri.

Had the snip on Friday, off the bike for two weeks.

I was too busy drinking at the Oktoberfest in Munich..

Gastroenteritis

I am in the middle of my great tour of England, seeing various friends in various cities 😀

Road ride on Saturday then went for a run on sunday am which brought our my cold. Currently feeling rubbish and have decorating that need doing.

A 6 week old baby boy and a new house has meant I haven’t ridden properly for 7 wks! About on top of things now so hopefully will be out next weekend.
