Thats how i do it anyways

fair enough, i was waiting at the bottom of the stage for a mate and heard the chopper go over and we were wondering if that was what it was…

Stage 1 – they cocked up my time so aparantly i took 58mins
Stage 2 – 10th place :D

capilano suspension bridge

kayaking int sea

go find some whales

go to gastown in vancouver

have a look round BC university

There is a free shuttle but to capilano and grouse mountain from Canada Place (where the cruise liners stop) by the way

langley valley suspension bridge is like capilano but free and smaller and near it

nope i was waaaay back in the queue but it seemed about 10-12 with punctures at the side of the track! hence didnt have to pass anyone haha.

I was on a yellow ibis with blue helmet and wifebeater, you?

was an air ambulance really necessary for a dislocated shoulder? he didnt look too bothered to me?

I went over on my own and I must say it was a great event and met a lot of really nice people to ride with!

Strava says I have the quickest time out of the other 88 people who used strava on that dunkery stage woo!

really? you live in London yet you dont know how to look up a tube stop?

Woohoo I am on Vancouver island right now for a 3 week holiday!!

We came from Calgary on.a bit of a road trip via a place called Nelson. It’s probably a bit fat away.from where you were thinking but just in case it’s now I.wouof highly recommend going there.

Guys, that is exactly the sort of answer i was after, many thanks!

anyone else?

you mean you didnt book it on in advance!!!! usually there is hell on if you dont do that! never mind your situation..

Ey, less of that prejudice Geetee! :lol:

I have a spare room coming up in my house…

but new build is poo… pokey little rooms with low ceilings, get yourself a nice edwardian terrace house with massive rooms and high ceilings and big windows ;)

(I live in Streatham BTW)

I am basically in the same situation to you, or was last yr… graduate, single, mountain biker, working in Farringdon (just near St. Pauls).

I would suggest Wandsworth and surounding area as it has the cheapest council tax in the country (correct me if im wrong) or maybe the cheapest in London, so something to think about. Means you are very close to Clapham Junction for trains which is perfect for commute down to Surrey/South Downs/Bracknell etc… Means you have a decent cycle to work to keep fit on the road bike.

nice… similar to what I have…

Except mine is single speed….

and cotic not on one….

and steel not carbon…

and flat pedals not spds…

and road tyres not cross tyres…

got the same brakes though! yeahhhh

Hehehe

nope Cab Vol is an underground club, very heavy electro type music, best club in Edinburgh in my opinion

you have Caboret Voltaire, thats the best club in my opinion but you would hate it
or sneaky petes but you would also hate it
or liquid rooms but you would probably hate that too
or the bongo club but you would probably hate that also…

mmm sorry dont think i can help

I would stick some more ram in but I have a 3 year warranty with apple and if you replace the ram yourself it voids said warranty… same with HD…no?

Bandito can you report back on lakes conditions/photos as im meant to be rding there at the weekend…. going over from northumberland too

well of course i remove it whenever i discover such atrocities, it just confuses me why its done in the first place, thought there must be a reason…

well whatever it is same question applies

Yes pau, I am from Barrasford, my parents still live there but i live in London these days

well, i cried laughing at this… maybe you will like it too, which is your favourite? mine was the sand beast!

paul 4 stones do you live in fourstones?

yes i drink coffee! usually 1 strong one in the morning and sometimes one in the afternoon…

I went to the docs when i was about 15/16 about it and he said it was to do with the bones growing a little quicker than muscles therefore the muscles would cramp now and then but i would grow out of it however im thinking at 23 im not growing anymore?!

so how do you contract cat AIDS?

Supercell storm!

hes a nice guy really… just poop english is all ;)

i.e. 3 hrs ago… https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152804745020727&set=a.10150129686035727.402268.903395726&type=1&theater

do you use facebook? if you do, then ‘like’ descend hamsterly, the guy on there is a bit of a pleb and might help to learn some english but he puts up frequent weather/riding reports

Steve peat posted it on his facebook page, thats got to be some decent publicity right there

whatever you do, always have a look on topcashback and quidco for that little extra off… also have a look on outdoorsmagic for 2nd hand ones and they have a few threads on there for people finding good deals on websites. ukclimbing has a good classifieds too

When my bike got nicked and recovered by me (police involved) it took longer and was harder to get the bloody thing back from the police then the thieves themselves!

police are shit

Bandito – where is your last photo taken from? if you look on the map it looks like the bridleway follows the countours along the left hand side of the valley but your photo suggests it follows the right hand side?

we are going for 3 weeks! So far I found a rather cheap deal on a camper van for our first week so we paid £470 for 1 week for unlimited miles for a one was journey from Clagary to Vancouver… so we have that to begin with then make our way back via whatever means from Vancouver to Calgary over the next 2 weeks… what do people suggest for transport? trains? buses? rent a car?

couldnt be arsed to read everthing so might have been said already but if you go for a new contract look on topcashback and quidco you often get big moneys back on those sites for phone contracts!

My mum is pretty darn active, shes not your typical 50 year old! we will be doing a fair bit of walking I imagine

cheers for the response guys, this has been great, although it does also basically say go everywhere!

thanks guys, sounds good ill give them a bell

chief – what a top notch bell end you are. I never said i wanted it to be replaced, I was simply enquiring as to whether people had had good or bad experiences with exposure and them fixing their products… which would inform me whether to bother or not as if it was bad experience and in most cases people were told just to buy a new unit then I would rahter now, if it was good and they were repaired and charged not too much for their time/service then I am more likely to give it a try.
