FGF 566 – Happy Days, Sad Days

the Topeak stuff I’ve used has been good but £55 for a tubeless repair kit and inflator is pushing it somewhat

hope Lauren enjoys the new job 🙂

Good luck Lauren.

Good luck, Lauren.

“Ask your mum” to sew a patch on? C’mon, you can’t seriously write about enabling women in mountain biking and then suggest that the only people who could possibly attach a patch on their gear would be a woman.

Have fun Lauren 😀

I’m not sure my mum is too keen on starting mtbing (she’s not mad keen on me doing it, tbf) but she’d happily sew a patch on for me, were I to ask nicely.

Best of luck Lauren.

Why does this show my real name and not my username? Never noticed that before…

Update: And as if by magic – it has changed to my username!

Why does this show my real name

I feel your pain.

Interestingly Tom, on my screen at the time of my original post, you were showing as ‘Tom Howard’ not ‘tomhoward’…

I think it’s something to do with it being a mag article, rather than a forum post, mag articles get the name you have in your profile, forum posts get your username, might depend where you posted it (on the front page or on the forum)

I’m sorry to hear Lauren will be off – she managed to bolster the website up with a lot of good stuff. Good luck to you in your next role. I hope someone as prolific gets mandated with following up the race and xc / xc culture side of the sport here (the main thing I follow on here really…). Maybe it’s back to Hannah! All the best to you and the team.

All the best to you Lauren in your new venture, have enjoyed reading some of your front page posts. Can we ask where your headed to now?

Apologies for the late reply! I just caught up on this post, now. Thank you all for having me, it was a pleasure!

I am actually leaving the bike world at going to work for a marketing agency close to home. I’m sure I will dip in and out, however so this likely won’t be the last you hear from me 🙂
