The beast was fine, just a load of leaves 😕

All roads are clear. Just been up William clough to kinder scout then back, odd bit of ice but never too thick otherwise I’ve never known trails this dry, loving it.

Ermm.. – 10pounds…

Aye, tried McD’s a few times, they’ve got various in house training, pub quiz, 5 a-side teams etc one the better options going atm.

Everyone always has a story like but one of me mates went straight in to working full time at the co-op (38hrs broken into 4 days) no college or uni but he’s heads & shoulders above any of us ‘educated’ +23k a year w/o overtime, has his own home – right at this moment I wish I’d just got a job & not gone to uni, I thought I was too go for pleb work. Turns out I much prefer pleb work/proper graft/hours etc

Mudshark 1 mil+ unemployed 19-25! Any jobs go to those older, more experienced etc or any lower paid jobs go the young ‘uns. You try getting a job aged 19/20 in a petrol station, shop, farm etc.

**** Hermanshake just got me in a nutshell. I enjoy care work, support work, getting a pretty good idea of what I enjoy doing (behavioral intervention/occupational therapy) but I’m still at home being a bum being a ****

& junkyard +1 – currently work 17hr shifts not doing much but I was bloody lucky & happy to get this job, only 3days a week @ 6ph, hopefully if I save I’ll be able to afford a night out on my birthday. I went for a TA job at wilmslow high school, within a week it had 700+ applicants 200+ with phd’s masters etc, go figure.

Mudshark bet your parents paid your tuition fees & first car.

Singletrackmind – chef on boat all require high nvq’s/degrees and/or masses of experience nowadays & tefl is degree entry with 1.6k up front I think then money for flights etc.

+1 junkyard yoof is wasted on us young

+1 colournoise. But I’m still sleeping with the window open

Rodger the cat – do you know the price of train tickets into hope? It’s **** 9 quid single from Marple!! P.s can have I job please, I could commute via Jacobs ladder

Sweet, as a result the dogs super fit and can’t bloody keep up

Get a dog or take a mates for a walk. I’m still not quite right & building up strength & instead of battering myself on short crap rides so go for long walks checking out new trails

There’s a lot of people here a bit out of touch & a lot of good advice too. For the young’uns there are no jobs unless family has business(s) even night watch jobs, lollypop person jobs etc there are none.

Get him on a ski season job or one-way ticket to oz just tell him he’s staying til his visa runs out.

How wide are your rims 😕 Conti ust tyres – well worth the price tag

not dvd’s http://vimeo.com/user3310425/videos/page:3/sort:date

or chris akrigg’s videos always entertain, usa one do my nut in

You could have a pair of saint & nano’s, **** that

Sin bin for 10 mins, i’ve never played since mind, got bought many drinks that day too 😕

Playing rugby the day after this happened – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Daniel+james&rlz=1C1NIKB_enGB507GB507&aq=f&oq=Daniel+james&aqs=chrome.0.57j0l3j62l2.3373&sugexp=chrome,mod=8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Second row and the scrum goes down as a result of the opposition hooker deliberately taking out the legs of the tighthead prop. Me & the other second pile-drive into the ground i’m fine but he is a bit dazed and confused and look up to see the opposite hooker with a big grin on his face. I lost it, second punch ko’d him and on his way to the ground gave him a few more punches and kneed him in the face. Broke his jaw, nose, eye socket and cheek bone. He never played again (good) bit grim knowing that’s what lies inside

subject to hangover

Haha, it is now!

It’s just about rollable or just clear it. Obviously need a full face and an urge helmet to do so

At least the mud has gone, could be a decent descent soon

Paddy as bond would be immense!

“It’s not just a pint glass”

Quick google says is wider, lighter etc, basically an improved flow. Just get ’em. They just do their job well, strong light & cheap ish

Proper response – get the freeriders won’t be disappointed. Proper sticky, welded to pedals. Comfy, don’t look special I’ve had mine 7months ish & they show very little wear except where I’ve crashed or rubbed the cranks. Just make sure you’ve got at least 1 million newspapers to dry them out

free riders but that’s bcos they are 52quid

Was up on mon and today. Mon proper grim constant hail jacobs ladder footpath descent was pretty slippy.

Mam tor, edale, barber booth, kinder etc cold, apparently -5 with windchill but dry. Unfortunately pretty wet, snow on ice on mud. Still a good ride mind, would be out tomorrow but i’m working. i’ll try & stick a picture up if i can be arsed

Have a look at the eiphone shereton II too!

Devinci/trek?

sram x5 – proper cheap
renthal bars/stem chainring
ust rq’s

pretty much built for a battering

I’ll nominate mine. Freeride cycles disley, simply put it’s a mint shop ran by mint folk

All the girls in london look like boys & wear bowler hats whilst pretending to be continental

Girls <29 are much hotter. We do have a lot more skanks though. Ever been wilko’s on a week day?

Girls are better looking in Manchester

They were fine on sun, just man up 😉

I ended up on my arse a lot. Also never had charity lane & cumberland clough descents so good, love dry trails

could be, know the the usual screaming cats or 3shires route

Went M&S in end and John Lewis for a shirt (there was a sale)

M&S suit was by the best fit for massive legs and tiny upper body

Hope V2 or V4’s – the deore’s will probably last years but they are just ok, i’d never put them on a big bike & again, no spares unlike Hope.

Cheers druidh i did not need to hear that, i want a fat bike

Would love a fat bike, they do make so much sense. It’s just i don’t see why people have winter bikes, unless you race. Proper winter is the only time when i can go out and ride my bike and not have to clean afterwards, frozen trails ftw!

There’s a few remedy 9s on eBay atm in your price. Ace bikes but you’ll see them everywhere

Transition covert?

Oh how the other half live!
