ChunkyMTB wheres that pic taken? looks great

Working this weekend but maybe fit in a late afternoon/early evening local blast ..embrace the mud

My 10yr old daughter has an half inch thick layer of it on her toast every morning, and it’s done nothing to improve her general performance, which rarely exceeds woeful.

Have to agree my two eldest have this most mornings no improvement at all …..

Indian summer = Monsoon season

Hope she mends well,best of luck in catching up with them

But, perhaps, I am not taking this far enough – maybe, as pedestrians, we all need a licence and insurance to negotiate roads and paths.

What a Trumpet

Put a rubber sucker on it and pull it out

would it be as easy as that ??
worth a try i suppose,theres no major paint damage and like pixelmix its not that obvious just annoying
oh yes carpark door thumpers really boil my pi$h

Yep im sure thats how it will end up
a tinker too far

cutting up chickens and large chunks of garlic butter for chicken Kievs
in chunky chicks factory lasted 3 hours …the smell of the garlic butter lingered on my skin for another week though
the thought of chicken Kiev still gives me the boak

Good article toys
totally agree with this

This wasn’t a spontaneous uprising of dissent from the downtrodden masses, it was shopping with violence

Fantastic very inspiring thank you for posting
agree with yesiamtom
this film deserves to be seen by a lot more people

Now the Daily Express has been hacked into by some racist group
Oh hang on…my mistake

Cheers had a look at that site but based in Paphos with tours round the Troodos
still means a car journey there,was looking for something more local to AN
think the heat maybe the deciding factor may have too just relax round the pool in my Speedos instead 😆

Yeah the heat will be an issue,but just thinking a nice blast on a bike would be a welcome break

Congratulations fella as above enjoy every moment it will go by in a flash ….apart from the sleepless nights they D R A G by 😉

Thinking of you and yours hope all goes well

And all this Sunday’s revenue going to good causes looks like news international attempting a bit of damage limitation …but will it be enough?
glad to see NOTW go though

Wow looks tangofantastic

Started commuting to work couple of months back was basically in the same situation as yourself
getting out on the bike was becoming once a week/fortnight/month thing,always seemed to be something
else cropped up (three kids are time consuming)
I now do 26 miles a day in all weathers and loving it, if truth be told i kinda prefer the pissing down rain especially on the route home
and it has made a massive difference when i go out on the trails it has really resparked my love of bikes
and restored my grin 😀

Sure made me smile
What an absolute trumpet

As above Citroen C4 grand Picasso rear seat easily folded down flat giving plenty of space had one for the past couple of months liking it very much

I had a grifter with the magical disintegrating seat

but always lusted after a Raleigh Vector

off road tastic

yep ironed and rolled steamed when unpacked ….or as above call housekeeping

Thanks for that

do you have a link couldnt find anything on that eBay

I used to wash mine after every muddy ride but in recent years iv’e become less obsessive,drivetrain gets a blast and an oil and ill wash the whole bike every month or so,i agree with M6TTF i do like getting on a clean bike but i also like sitting on my arse drinking tea,im trying to strike a balance

Think I peaked about 15 years ago been going downhill ever since

Working …but weather here is nice (Ayrshire)sun was even out earlier
although bit wet on my commute from work yesterday afternoon,
some house painting when i get home then a blast on the MTB tonight
only riding with a front brake just now until replacement rear arrives next week…. this should be entertaining

Both my parents died when i was younger, so my kids have never known grandparents on my side,my wifes parents live in the same village and my girls love and adore them,we have pics of my folks in the house and the kids know all about them i’ve never avoided telling them the truth about them being dead and they have accepted it no problem it’s the only way to do it

Fantastic pics
cheers for posting

Full metal racket
spokey dokeys
Dandy Horses
The Moderators

Yep just down on Saturday for a blast and then off to see Frightened Rabbit
at the burgh hall were also staying at the Rosetta

Open the olive a little before fitting

Its a solid olive on Avids not split like Hope’s,i’ll try the electrical tape idea that sounds doable
cheers Al

Anyone??

totally agree i hard drive issues with my iMac last year sorted within a day at no cost even though it was out of warranty always great service

It’s coz he is Amish !!

no idea what the parents think this will achieve by keeping there gender a secret
but totally agree with the above Storm , Jazz and Koi well that them fecked for a start
Gender doesn’t come into it …some parents eh !!! a good hard slap’s what there needing
better off keeping there names a secret …oh aye and that is a boys hat defo

She has never hit her kids, BUT she does say some very nasty things to them. Usual one is, I’ll smash your face in if you don’t f**ing do as your told.
The C word is used frequently too. Not good considering they are 5 and 2.

And she works in care!!
while i understand your feeling of loyalty to her kids i would involve social services it’s best all round if you remove yourself from the situation hopefully it will force her to get some badly needed help
hope it all works out
Al

Perfectley normal there just testing the boundries,our youngest 2.5yrs is taking a daily strop she usually settles down after 10 mins of being ignored …so yep its a bit like STW forum 😉

How’s it look with mudguards, though?

How wet will you get without them ??
just got a mail back from Charge to say clearance too tight for full length mudguards on the 2010 model
2011 comes with guards

they suggest SKS blade XL but i suppose any 3/4 length rear would do
