My girlfriend had to pee on a stick, that was quite scary. in fact she peed on two just to make sure.
was it good scary or bad scary?
Did the gap in the wall on the Knicker Trail. No dabs. I am a mountain bike God.
I went on a road bike ride (first proper one).
Going downhill was very scary 😯
Rode the Ducati through BMW/Audi country, shat myself.
Yep, did the Deadwater trail at Kielder on Saturday in storm force winds. That was scary on the top huddling by the transmitter buildings after bike being lifted away!
Well I don't have to go and sell any of my bikes.
I'm looking forward to scaring myself on a road bike again soon.
I've just walked through Leigh (provincial Northern hell hole) town centre with 4 grand in my pocket.
I let my wife drive on the Brighton Breeze.
(it's a joke dear, honest)
Went to the Stockport Air Raid SHelters, which wasn't that scary actually.
Watched "Let the Right One In" which was quite good.
Leku, congrats. I cleaned that once but it has eluded me ever since.
I did my first cyclocross race of the year on Sunday. I wanted to give up so badly after being sick in my mouth a bit on the second lap, but I've just spent an absurd amount of money on some new SPD shoes and felt I somehow owed it to them to carry on riding.
Held a baby (is 9 months old still classed as a baby?!) for the first time, surprisingly heavy for something so small.
Set off for Buxton on Sat, towing our new caravan.
Then promptly turned around again after the wind nearly blew it over.
Luckily the mrs had packed extra pants.
Very scary.
Now I know why so many people use 4x4's for towing.
Yes. Got dressed up like a multicoloured flourescent suited idiot and did a race

LOL -I was just thinking about posting about my similar experiences - driving our car with a roofbox on for the first time (100 mile trip). Had several interesting moments on the M1 (but it was entertaining watching other cars/motorbikes struggling too.
Examined [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/not-for-those-with-a-sensitive-disposition ]this thread[/url] on Saturday, heart just about slowed to normal by Sunday!
I got clamped when we were helping our daughter move ito her new flat in the salubrious borough of Dalston in that London. Those clampers are scary guys - I was legally parked in the marked bay to her flat but they made me feel I got off lightly with £120 unlocking fee and no tow-away 🙁
I moved the car to the side street, but later that night, a bloke took a shot at a copper and the whole road was cordoned off and I wasn't allowed to go in and get the car till 6:30 yesterday evening. Could have been worse - if it had been any later we'd have missed the Archers.
Good news though - we met the new boyfriend. He rides a nice fixie and he works at Rapha, so I'm looking forward to my Christmas present!

You're not scared about shootings in your daughters new area?
No. You can't afford to think like that. Anyway she's living over the Hackney Music reggae shop, which seems to emit peaceful fumes all day.
Ventured out in public with a woman for the first time since splitting up with the wife... Very odd in a slightly scary sort of way.

I read that "...as a woman..." and thought fair play to you.
Not this weekend, but a couple of weekends a go, I went on a 3 day rafting trip down the Rogue River in Oregon. Apart from the presence of bears (we saw one or two) who have developed a liking for the food kept in cool boxes and are known to come into camps to get it, we also took on some class 4 rapids. being told that class 4 was too dangerous to be covered by my travel insurance so having to upgrade was pretty scary (OMG WTF am I leting myself in for?). Good fun though.
Also, driving on the right hand side of the road for the first time, in an automatic for the first time in an area where at least half the cars have guns in the glove boxes was, uh, interesting, but at least there seemed to be very little in the way of road rage.
Haha, nope, I save my drag act for the privacy of my own home! Left the missus 4 months ago and have been seeing a very understanding young lady for about 6 or 8 weeks. Don't want to antagonise an already-volatile situation, so been trying to keep it under wraps.
My daughter has just passed her driving test and I took her on the M62....
Went to a Kayak shop with my credit card
Scary bit was arriving home and explaining Kayak to wife

"No dear it isn't, I'm just really pleased to see you"
did the Lairig an Laiogh (sp) in the cairngorms when MWIS said wind gusting to 100mph, movement severely restricted. - it was
Not very scary since I'd done it before, but walked out and back through an unlit derelict railway tunnel, 1226 yards long, and a bit spooky. Spooked the kids anyway.
me and my mate atkins pegged in a 14ft vert ramp 1ft apart at the same time to stop me carving the ramp so much!
scary if you hit
Laid 25ft of concrete for my new super shed, and did the path..
Had to draft in my dad 82 in the hat, and father in law 63 to do the leveling while I and a couple of pals did the barrowing, and then I did the path..

Were you buying the town centre?
Last Weekend we were involved in a rescue off the Clogwyn y Person Arete in Snowdonia.

Samuri is winning so far 🙂

Maybe [b]all[/b] caravans should go to Buxton? Every last one of them.
Then, as long as I avoid Buxton, I'll never have to see another one of them.
Rode "Original Sin" (a black trail in Whistler Bike Park) in the [b]snow[/b] yesterday!
Rode the big drop off in the Joyride Drop Off park for the first time (schweeet!)
Rode Schleyer (double-black) (yay!)but bootled the big GLC drop at the very last moment (boo)

What you needed was to follow "Mad Dog" Walker off it,just like I did!!
1) Spent nearly a third of a million on a new house.
2) Had a daughter.
Fell with mtb on sunday and now have broken arm and cheekbone.
Not scary? Well, you do it then...
So annoyed, 6 weeks and no riding. Was just getting ready for the night rides and fitted new forks on friday.
Did my first and definitly last car boot sale, the place was full of nasty chavs, i've never seen so many Staffordshire Bull Terriers in one place ever!
Made £150 though out of selling my shite 😉

Are you the guy who's girlfriend was going to university?
I'm surprised she told you about the peeing on stick incident.

Yes, there's nothing like a bit of Mad Dog peer pressure... 😉
I've done it before but one of my riding buddies broke her shoulder and another twisted their ankle yesterday. And I'd already had three stacks...I just wasn't feeling the love! 😯
I was at work on C wing. 80 on methodone, that can be 'interesting' rather than 'scary' I suppose. Can be scary though.
Went to Estoril to watch MotoGP and did it all completely drunk!! (Cant speak Portuguese either)!!
Drove from Gateshead to Plymouth to help my mate move house, then drove all the way back to Gateshead next day with van full of house bits. result 870miles, to much motorway coffee, and a sore back.
