Done it

Yep Shred ive got those ones too they work with all sliding dropouts
cheap,simple to adjust what more do you want

Aye totally subjective one mans perfecto is another’s pure mince
anyways here min(c)e
Flaming Lips- Do you realize?
Galaxie 500- King of Spain
Beatles – Ticket to ride
Neil Diamond – Solitary man
Big Star – Thirteen
Prince – I would die 4 u
Cocteau twins- Ivo
Ketty Lester -Some things are better left unsaid

I agree with Ton it makes me smile every day …well most days
commute 13 miles each way and have done for the past 18 months
on a Charge Tap converted to singlespeed
its the highlight of my day,mostly B roads so not much in the way of
traffic (more tractors than trucks)
most essentials have been covered full length mudguards,puncture resistant tyres
lights I use a P7 on the front and a nightrider cherry bomb on the back also one of those small clip on
red lights on the back of my helmet 80% of my route is unlit and coming of the backshift at 11pm
in the pissing rain you need as much light as you can get
waterproofs and overshoes i use both on a regular basis (west coast of Scotland it rains occasionally)
but youll get a feel for what works for you after a few runs best of luck and enjoy

Anyone??

45+10 hours commuting contracted 40 but something always crops up I work 5 over 7 so time off midweek & every second weekend off helps with the childcare for our youngest, looks like it might all be changing soon though and not in a good way

Shame to hear its all closing,never had major issues
With the cafe …seahouse are you implying shoddy service
is a Scottish phenomenon?
as Ive always found that the couldn’t give a toss attitude
stretches far and wide
anyone know what’s happening to the cafe/shop at Ae?

Terrible news thoughts with you and yours

Sanderson Soloist think the frames is around £250
easy to adjust ebb lovely Ritchey cowled dropouts
feels just right …it had just had its ready brek that morning hence the glow

Has there been any movement on this ?

deactivated my account last month just got sick of the endless drivel
and that was just the stuff i posted

Thought he came across very well seems a very likeable guy
plus my kids thought it was great as he mentioned Dumfries house
just along the road from us

1994 for me Claude Butler Zagato in retina burning neon purple
made out of scaffolding i think
brilliant fun

Horses for courses and all that Kirroughtree found it a bit bland
Mabie very good Drumlanrig great fantastic natural trails brilliant setting
but my favourite by far is Ae fair bit of climbing but fantastic descents
new berms on the mid section are brilliant not as busy as the other 7 stanes
some of the above comments may indicate why …but hey we cant all like the
same stuff and id rather it stayed a bit quiter so in hindsight forget Ae its crap 🙄

Brilliant video and great choice of music made me smile and very happy cheers
have a great time in Brazil

was down the other week and noticed this,heres hoping the FC get someone in to
take the cafe on at least,ill have to take a flask in future and i make crap coffee!!

today a 3 year olds birthday party now recovering with alcohol!!
tomorrow replacing bottom bracket and chain on the commuter
then taking the kids to spend book tokens
might try and get out on the MTB at some point

Im in Mauchline so this would be great,have mates in Glasgow who would travel down
what site near Afton Reservoir ?
Keen to help out when the time comes

1-2 hours its approx 10-12 miles in the summer he usually ends up in the river
and drinks out of the feeder streams,you can get inflatable bowls if your out for long
and they need water

we have a chocolate lab 5 years old and boundless energy I take him out with me on the
bike when i have a local blast never tried any of the trail centres think they might be a bit too busy ..
he was a bit wary of the bike to start with but now fine like anything just build it up slowly.
I use an extended lead on the 1 mile to the local woods as were near a main road but after that
he runs on his own just ahead of me

Wife’s down in London town for fashion week so me and the girls
(3 daughters) are kicking back and spending some time catching
up on dvd’s and playing on the Wii
new pedals arrived this morning i’ve fitted them but wont get out till
tomorrow afternoon …im trying to be patient

Ritchey Z max tyres – yesteryear’s Nobby Nic

Oh yes indeed but if i remember they were replaced with a pair
of bright red Macau tyres (think that was the name) terrible tyres
but she liked the colour

Oh dear early bath

Tinkering on my wife”s Saracen hardrock 94/95

Ben Nevis 98 im sure beanies were as protective as helmets back then

Picked up a pair of Karrimor gloves in Sports Direct.
for the daily commute I wasnt expecting too much
for £9.99 but they have been great kept my hands
dry and warm in torrential downpours,a lot better
than the Pearl Izumi winter gloves they replaced

yeah I did see the recommendations re telescope but was
hoping there might be something kiddie friendly dont want
to spend more than £50

I use a P7 on the bars and a cree headtorch
80% of my commute is unlit B roads,had previously used
a cheap bike light set from Halfords which was no use at all …
I always dim the lights if i encounter any traffic
lucky if i see half a dozen cars on the 13 mile commute
though

Torminalis superb funniest thing ive heard all day
brightened up my day …instant Karma indeed

Very nice ..what bars you got on there?
youve put me in the mood for a visit to Laggan
ill need to get that organised

Kali Chakra light cheap comfy

Oakley jawbones from my kids
(only partly financed by me!!)
Some more cycling gear from the Mrs
6 days in May DVD
Aftershave
Tickets to see Bonnie Prince Billy in January
Im a happy man
even working today isnt taking the shine off it
although roll on 4pm !!

As mentioned above it comes with territory,
I work in retail and all our store and support
staff have ban on holidays end of Nov till mid
Jan it’s always been that way, it’s the busiest
time of the year for stores ,she should be
getting enhanced rates for working 26th/27th
so bit more cash in her pocket

I’m Alistair never given too much thought
as to wether I like it or not it’s just my name
most people call me Al

Congratulations best thing ever completely knackering
been there three times and it does get easier

Saw them in Glasgow earlier this year doing fear of a black planet
fantastic best thing ive seen in a while

giving the commuting a miss today
so far at work one of the shutter doors in the warehouse has caved in
and an internal plasterboard wall collapsed !!!
the most windy ive seen for a long time

13 miles each way for me most days 80% country roads
so less traffic more cow shit ,doing it since May
Positives -increased fitness arrive at work invigorated ,
fantastic scenery , extra cash, highlight of my day
which says more about my current job than the commute.
Negatives- weather can get you down sometimes,I live in
the west of Scotland so obviously I’m as hard as nails
but 70mph headwinds and sleet are enough to bring
a grown man to the brink of tears
bit knackered to start with but it gets better
give it a go

Pasta and meatballs yum
The kids are playing just dance on the Wii
so varied soundtrack
Working tomorrow so not drinking

Cheers ill give it another wash

Mostly on my own but do a group ride with 4-5 mates every couple of months too much stopping and faffing about on these group rides for my liking though as theres 1 of the group who will walk up everything that isn’t flat or going down,so selfishly i prefer out on my own !!
