Chinny reckon. Completed with stroking of said chin.

This came out of the bag at a family thing. My young cousin did what we thought was the chinny reckon chin stroke. Though he swears he has no idea what it means his sister (my other cousin obs) and her boyfriend also had no clue about the mighty chinny reckon.

Then he packed his gear and biked back home.

He only cycled some of the way back. Looser

also went in a cafe in hutton le hole which served enormous slabs of cake and fried my eggs just right. Not sure the name but it was owned by a southern woman (not that that matters just saying like)

EDIT greenwood crafts

all the pies *slow clap*

penny lane in holmefirth, yondermans opposite the three staggs head inn on the a623 near cressbrook, the old black smiths in monyash and the cafe in flagg.

EDIT forgot the Moorside cafe Cromford

and after chatting to the various builders during lunch, I have become aware that I’ve led a very sheltered life, as they all have done time in prison for assault, etc

No offence but you are taring all manual workers with this brush? My ex girlfriend and all her family are manual workers (pretty much); they are also cultured go to watch opera among other things like national trust visits. Handle themselves yes they can scrap and aren’t afraid to either; done time for assault no. You have employed a bunch of cowboys I reckon so don’t quibble over the extras they have done for you or they may be spending time inside for assault again.

the way cleats look is important??

The cleats look easier to walk on than look/spd-sl cleats. Though I personally have never had a big problem walking on look cleats. Apart from the slight hobble that you have to adopt.

Aus – Australia – Land Down Under

speedplay pedals?

two sided and the cleats look slightly better than plastic cleats

did it. twice. went on a pootle with my aunty and uncle from malton. I left them just before cropton. I rode on to rosedale abbey and did the climb. took pictures of the sign etc on my first climb. Got to the top and the wind was on my back (though I didn’t feel it until I had got over the steepest part) so I decided I would do it again. The second run at it was harder obviously but all in all good. I also spun out my biggest gear going from the top back down to hutton le hole where I met my aunty and uncle again and we had cake and headed home. I would like to put the climb into a bigger route but there will always be another time.

i climb my bike does that count?

holding onto a poo until you get into the office then having a banging poo and getting paid for it (even if you have to crab on the way out of the house and into the office).

Going to Malton to see family and riding up Rosedale Chimney Bank

21 hours of driving to get to and around Scotland and riding at three different places on three different days two of which Hannah Barnes is at and then pulling a big goofy smile at her only to get one back

waking up with your tent taped into the scottish six day trail course on the first day in fort william.

It is a fact that at current usage there is a few decades of nuclear fuel left

Playing the game now but; where do you get that information from? I don’t think that you can just make a statement like that with no peer approved study or even peer reviewed study to back it up.

This is worth a read. It puts our expectations and current life styles and alligns them with different energy generation methods. In short we can’t keep living how we live and expect renewables and/or conventional and/or nuclear to serve our needs[/url]

I read this thread title and thought people were talking about Kenny Ken. Imagine my disappointment to find it is about football

Rollin deep

I’d ban those wierd “uncles” who aren’t really uncles. You know, the ones with the Werther’s Originals.

Something you want to tell us?

There attitude to energy since the oil crisis in the 70’s? (I’m not exactly sure due to my age ;)) became a lot more forward thinking. As opposed to the UK’s attitude towards energy which has never changed (Though the caveat is that my facts/opinions on this may be slightly or very wrong).

men in thier 30s and 40s wearing jeans, collared shirt, sports jacket

Especially if the shirt is tucked in and brown winckle pickers/those horrible trainers/shoes are used as appropriate footwear.

It’s the screaming mile.

So what is dave weagle talking about, and why does my giant squat in the granny when spinning gently up tarmac inclines since I went 1×9 when it barely moved at all when I had a front granny?

I don’t understand what you are saying. You seem to contradict yourself. Pedaling up tarmac in the granny it squats. Then you say you went 1×9 but it doesn’t squat in front granny gear. Makes no sense at all.

kinked hydraulic cables 😆

I’m pretty sure he isn’t looking fat once he gets into his riding kit.

Don’t judge us all by the extremes

I wasn’t I was judging from the 50% mark down (and even up for that matter).

tackling a status quo

which is my point t&c planners like the one I’m thinking of don’t ever challenge the status quo or even consider that it may be wrong.

You cannot comapre here to Holland

for anything

Their attitude to bike in particular represents an entirely different attitude to a whole host of issues. One of them being their attitude towards oil. Which I believe is at the heart of our problem and Hollands enlightenment. Even more so than safety of children/citizens which is often cited as the reason for the push bike-centric culture.

no picture of the bars still.

TJ like Mexico city, Delhi, Cairo etc?

just unsure.

Isn’t that the real problem. People who can make decisions about town and city planning are unsure and un-dynamic as decision makers so the problem just continues as no one will make the initial change. I know one t&c planner and he is a right straight laced non forward thinking idiot (for want of a better word) and if everyone who works in his office is like that no real decisions will ever be made subsequently no progress will be made.

Humans aren’t stupid

The nature of Gaussian distribution means that 50% have less than average intelligence – unfortunately average intelligence is pretty shoddy to start with.

JTD I am totally disagreeing with you on the basis that you cite Apple in your blog and because your hero is Hans Moleman

Hopefully also you are who I think you are.

Israel has got to be up there, they really have done nothing for the world. Apart from the highly important task of suppressing the Palestinians of course

Whats the problem again? I wasn’t listening

what have they given the rest of us

wasn’t Columbus Portuguese?

Also isn’t Brazil a Portuguese speaking country

In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of pioneering the Age of Discovery, Portugal expanded western influence and established a global empire that included possessions in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America, becoming the world’s major economic, political and military global power. The Portuguese Empire was the first global empire in history,[10] and also the longest lived of the European colonial empires, spanning almost 600 years, from the capture ofCeuta in 1415, to the handover of Macau to China in 1999. However, the country’s international status was greatly reduced during the 19th century, especially following the Independence of Brazil, its largest colony in its history.

Yeah what on earth has Portugal ever done?

If your legs weren’t so smooth, you wouldn’t have slid so far

yes but the coefficient of friction would have been greater; thus bringing the tarmac to melting point.

She hasn’t been charged with phone hacking has she? I thought she had been charged with perverting the course of justice.

Either way she won’t go down for it; well maybe on Rupert Murdoch for paying for her lawyers.

She’ll keep her mouth shut

this contradicts my predictions

Rough use of the scale on google maps and a ruler sugests somewhere between 20m and 30m which is along way and very impressive as a slide from a road bike on tarmac. 😀

182m would be an insane distance and proof of super human power on the pedals 😯

the google maps image appears to have a cycling race on the track too.

If you’ve ever had to clean out your legs and stick plasters over them after sliding 200 yeards along gravel, you’d realise that massage isn’t the only reason we do it!

182 meters? A quick search suggests that a car travelling at 70mph would take 92m to stop. Now I am aware that these distances very from car to car. It does make your claim seem somewhat unbelievable.

the reason professional cyclists have shaved legs (and almost al professional athletes) is not to do with aero, hygene of cuts etc. It is because the must be massaged after races (competitions for other athletes) to aid recovery.

The reason enthusiasts do it is purely to look more ‘pro’

hmmm i think this has all got a bit out of hand really. can you children not learn to play nice together?

In a medical I had about 1 or 2 months ago it was 46. This was not my true resting heart rate as I had just walked through the factory and it was about 11am so I had bee sat up/’working’ at my desk.

When I was in hospital November 2010 (broken bone) it was as low as 42 but I was less fit then and was on drugs. I guess my true resting heart rate now would be somewhere between those two figures.
