he was talking about comuting more than 3 days a week

Yes sorry I am getting sidelined.

Well yeah so do a different route? Ride the mtb? Do some other forms of exercise that put less strain on your cardio vascular system?

Or do it slower, which IMO is a waste of time.

I thought shake down rides are good for you though. They help your body purge lactic acid caused by hard exercise.

i believe its the name for the phenomenon when you have done a bit more riding/running than usual, and realise that you are fed up of it / losing motivation / not getting noticeably faster… and decide enough’s enough.

I thought it was like post viral fatigue. As in you train hard. Don’t eat right and don’t allow proper recovery; in terms of either shake down exercise or no exercise etc. Then you get caught in the doldrums and it is very difficult to recover from any exercise that you do and get ill easily.

not done it yet

How much for those wheels though? 😀

Very tasty – but surely black ck hubs would have been better aesthetically? (imo)

what should we shout and how loud?

good whatever time of day it is?

or hello

you need to do more moto pacing

As for the ‘weak’ or ‘strong’ argument, it’s important to keep the distances in mind. It just depends what scale you want to work at.

So it begins 😐

the gravitational pull of some forum topics towards some forum members egos is indeed irresistible.

Gravity is a weak force comparatively. If you look at magnetism two small objects can overcome the gravitational pull of the earth.

what molgrips said

just befriend someone who works in the industry and get them to sell you stuff cheap or give you warranty stuff etc.

your post reminds me of this

Unless you’re 8 years old I don’t understand why you typed it then. The onion in your tummy was crying?

you got me.

I am 8 and I thought it was droll – and accept it wasn’t droll

So I apologise that I offended your highly tuned sense of adult humour.

But you have to admit they are ugly and pointless. However I will concede that if any one tries to take the piss (admittedly in an un funny manor) you get to slap them down and then tell the world that its you that knows how to have fun through a grimace.

handles just like “a bike”

why not get just a bike instead of something that is just like a bike then?

Is that supposed to be witty?

no

what about the loop over the road. is that riding again? was also good great vie of menwith hill and the wind farm. slightly more ‘natural’ but last time I went about 3 years since the forest works had ruined a lot of the trail

please don’t ride that bike on the right. it is so ugly the onion i ate in my salad for dinner is crying inside my tummy

ribble stealth full carbon with ultrega for £1500 pretty much on the nose

the perfect man uses this product to atract his good lady

brown chords come as standard too

It’s pay and display only I’m afraid.

Is that for the breasts or the rock hard abs?

Really? I’m not yet convinced having a girlfriend into all this would be good for me. I like going out on my bike with my mates partly because its ‘my’ time. I know some people like it, just not sure it’d be for me

No not really – clearly I thought 🙂

one who turns up nakedwith food and brings some beer

it’s an illustration/estimate of the cost difference for making a frame in britain vs taiwan/china.

simplified to the point of absurdity – making it a pointless illustration

however

Orange 5’s are not expensive because they’re made in britain, they’re expensive because people will pay for them

is correct

Thing is, if it’s taking them more than 4 hours to weld up a frame, they’re doing it wrong.

Tell you what, I’m feeling generous, give ‘em a day.

8 hours x 9 = £72.

Treble it for taxes and costs and things.

£216.

hmmmm

What’s the standard protocol you stick too?

1. Unzip fly

2. Put flaccid p£ni$ in friends hand

3. make groaning noise

4. repeat 2 & 3 for multiple friends if necessary

etc

What about Sarah Jorgenson. She was/is well tidy

cheers mr wells. to be honest i’m not worried about getting up it. just want to say I have. I thought it was joint steepest with hardknott and whynrose in the lakes?

Actually I need a route that starts in Malton and will go up Rosedale Chimney bank. If someone knows some routes that would be much appreciated.

Perfect for another man perhaps

is it dark in the closet?

you’ve slept with tandomjeremy?

i was considering riding to holmfirth on saturday. i would have suggested that maybe i might go with you if you were unsure of the way. then you mentioned the folk festival and that you wanted to go so i am not going to make that offer.

you are doing everything wrong. to fix it you need to everything right even if some of those things are completely contradictory; to sum up the thread succinctly.

used to love them then bought one; had it a while it was pretty good. sold it and got a more mass produce brand and the more mass produced brand rode better; but did require more servicing. so i was kind of turned off them. then i saw an attractive Scottish sweetheart riding one and i liked them again. then i am very fickle and i had been sleeping in a tent an drinking a lot last weekend so my judgement on what makes a good bike and sensible financial decisions has been somewhat impaired by those three factors compounding on each other.

I short they are okay perhaps not the best priced for what they are but attractive females riding them does make them seem more appealing.

Good. I haven’t got the space in my diary to record that you’ve been funny twice.

Technically if he is repeating a joke he would have been funny only by proxy

Thats iVomit, if I’m not properly mistaken.

Proper pavement Pizza.

I hated them it a year or so ago

You just have to eat them it a few times then you get used to them it. A few more times and you might even like themit!

😆
