Is anybody playing out?

Where do you want to go?

lemme check with the mrs…

Next week I shall mostly be riding in the Lakes. All week! 😀

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make sound?

i.e. If Binners’ bike breaks and no one is around to witness this, does a flounce still occur? 😉

Sounds Meaty,Binners 😉

Your taking binners on a romantic lakes break Mark?

Make sure you check for Vegan restaurants

He’s spurned my advances hora! I feel rejected 🙁

In a Hora-esque warranty claim, I dropped that virtually brand new shifter back into Merlin yesterday, where they confirmed that it is indeed completely nackered! I used my best and biggest hammer to fit it too 😉

I’m in for something not too thumb wrenching 🙂

i think i’ll be busy feeding someone else’s kids on tofu…

(real answer- dunno. on call til 8 again)

I’m still on holiday. Somebody think of something and I’ll tag along.

Chipps is coming over to Prestwich with the tandem (yay the racing tandem). I’ve never ridden one before so this might be funny/painful/embarrassing/awesome.

Who’s going on the front, Jase? 🙂

I was sort of hoping you were 😉

Is it 8.15 lift off?

are you both going to be clipped in? someone else will have a gopro I hope to capture the glory (a.k.a. £200 from you’ve been framed)

oh, and proper tandem terminology gents – captain and stoker 😀

I should be up for it if everything falls into place.

8:15 at The Church?

I’ll be there

my associate and I will be clipped in at the weekend, yes. It’s a race innit.

Will your “associate” be in charge of the steering?

I think these last 6 weeks off the mtb have made me soft but a combination of rain and soft-arsedness (so just the rain really) has pulled the rug from under my plans.

maybe next week

I’ll remember a change of shorts for my next tandem skills session 😯

riding a tandem in the dark and filthy conditions was, erm, brave 🙂

David, are you going to upload the video footage?

Sure, here’s a rough cut of the most usable stuff:

Afraid water on the lens ruined a lot of the rest though 😳
