thanks for your help guys. tescos here we come it is.

put this one to bed now.

i ride round sherwood forest a lot and find 32-15 ok. seems ok for round that way, nothing too taxing
thinking of going to 14 in the summer when conditions should be better.

but then again i have got big legs 😆

like the dakine one though, nice big filler neck and you can turn them inside out to dry

Fortunateson09 –
Take a bottle in the bag?

would need to be a big bottle, do tend to drink a lot

thefallguy. be much appreciated mate.
gonna have a go at fixing it anyway

we talking vulcanised patches here, or self sticky ones?

small split just above the seam along the bottom, not sure whether glue would be any good

very bad week (well, 2 really) been off the bike due to resting my back. managed to put 7lbs back on 🙁

why have you got my name ton?

tried again………ROCK CHOMPER 😆

i'm hurt 🙁
came up with big fat matt!!!
firstly my names not matt and secondly…………..
well maybe the rest's right 😆

THINK YOU CAN COUNT ME IN NOW MATE, GOT THE ALL CLEAR FROM SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED 😆

anyway, back to my original question

anybody going from mansfield way, or coming through that way, would appreciate a lift if i can get a pass out

looks like i'll have to ditch the jock strap idea then, maybe help shave a few grammes anyway

now there's an idea
do think you'd be able to keep up though?

i know, i'll strap my singlespeed over my back, come over on my road bike. do the ride, then have a steady pootle home all in time for tea

😆 🙄

mansfield to skegness and back just for fun. got there, locals asked what chrarity we were doing it for. nearly fell over when we told them it was just for a laugh, and we were riding back.

bit of a classic fundraiser ride round our way

count me in as well for the merida 901.
damn good bike for the money!!! eats the miles up.
600 notes well spent. 😀

i'm off to see wolfmother.(christmas pressie)

thought so, look different with snow on them 😀
not been that way for a while, will have to check them out again soon

have to be honest, i do only ride on a cycle route so no cars to worry about, but the snow was still 6-8 inches deep and very icy when it decided to freeze. can honestly say the only real problem i had was when it decided to thaw, 6 inches of white slush puppy for miles!!

sweet vid mate. very good quality.
cant place the trails though. gives us a clue

not stopped riding at all. after all, it was only a bit of snow.
got caught out with the cold this morning though

similies or not

tighter than a camels arse in a sandstorm

my son has the same problem, him being 6'3" and only 11 stone wet through.
he's now deciced he wants to take up this riding lark more seriously and is desperste to find some tights that will fit. he does have a limited budget though.

p.s sorry for the hi-jack

i need a new back wheel for my singlespeed 😉

do apologise, there's been a light thaw here too

snowing here too, and it's still freezing (mansfield)
