Jigsaw #5 – Middle Aged Rampage

If you get to ride flash bikes as part of your job, what bike do you build yourself on a framebuilding course? Chipps decided on a ‘performance pub bike’. Three hub gears (to the pub, back from the pub and back from the pub down the hill), hub brakes for simplicity and big tyres for taking the off road detour.

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).

    Bah, stuck on 8 across and 13 down. Suspect I’ll kick myself on the latter.

    …although, weirdly, the crossword grid and the clues seem to have changed?!

    anyhow, it’s the forum powerhouse and the great annual tyre that are befuddling me.

    Ah ha! Got them all. Really should’ve had the Forum thing more easily, and the tyres one just needs thinking through. Quite a lot in my case.

    Now on this week’s … all done apart from forum powerhouse …

    15 minutes to do all but one, followed by an hour of Close Encounters of the Third Kind style mania while I ate lunch and got back to work thinking about the last clue.
    That feeling when the penny drops though!

    Stuck on the orienteering one. Not sure if it’s cryptic like the powerhouse & annual tyre clues or the actual name of an event.

    The orienteering one is a bit cryptic. Think of an outdoor clothing brand sponsor.

    You will kick yourself if I tell you what the annual tyre answer is 🙂

    Cheers- is this a new type of clue- lateral cryptic?

    Alternative clue- 365 used condoms

    Tyres finally dropped with a loud thud.

    Orienteering one and the not grumpy one for me. Doing my head in….

    It really is annoying that once you have completed it you can never see it again.
