Any ideas? It's pissing down, my knees are feeling worryingly knackered and it's been a crap week at work. I don't drink nor engage in pharmaceuticals so getting out of it is not an option.

A Tesco bike voucher for the best suggestion.

depends on were you live ,,
but what we do is either go on our trials bikes or going fishing we never have a dull weekend noramaly around 10 of us on the mountain bikes 6 on the trials bikes and maily 4 go fishing …

Fire up the Xbox and catch up on some gaming! Or get a couple of DVDs and spend the weekend watching films; and even with knackered knees you should be able to go swimming for the sport fix 🙂

1. Sort out your knees (see umpteen previous threads on this and other forums). FWIW, I fixed mine by getting the angle of the cleats right.

2. Buy a rain coat.

3. Go out for a ride. It'll be nasty for the first mile or so, but then you'll get all hot and sweaty and want to take your coat off again.

4. Take off your coat. Enjoy!

Second the XBox. I got up at 6 to ride, couldn't find my lights, couldn't be arsed with the rain so I turned on the xbox and wasted two hours on the couch instead of on the road.

I'm going for a surf this afternoon.

Buy stuff. Works for me 😀

I'll send round the missus and the two young uns – that'll fill yer weekend and then I'll go riding!

youporn oh many a happy hour wasted away 😯

Paddle!! when its raining and the trails are slick – I still enjoy them muddy but it is different and a bit of a faff- we go kayaking, where the more rain the better. Two years ago we paddled nearly every weekend, one of the best 'grim' winters I have ever had.

Family guy marathon does it for me.

Or youporn…

Or redtube…

Or porno tube………………….

+1 for earn a bit of cash babysitting for people who do want to go riding.

😉

I'll pass on the babysitting, thanks 😉

Off to buy a new waterproof as the old one is worn out from dendix-rubbing (dry ski slopes) and is a bit baggy from weight loss! Prize goes to Lionheart – that looks like a damned good hobby for wet winter days. Now I wonder if there are any kayaking clubs on the River Taff …..

Methinks a dawn runaround Cwmcarn may be in order tomorrow.

get pissed soft lad

I second fishing.
