Really interesting viewing. Nobody would imagine the amount of people with problems.

I’m a bad boy

– I leave clothes on the floor while showering and put them away straight afterwards in the spare room. Apparently you’re supposed to put stuff away when your naked before the shower????

– My slippers live at the side of the bed, however they are never there when I next look. they don’t belong in the bedroom??

I could go on and on and on….

Looks like its between a mule and a raptor now…….just got to hold off till after xmas. Otherwise nobodies getting anything.

I stick with a female name like Candice, who wants a Dave strapped to their back….each to their own

Thanks for that. Colin is a lovely name

Strava doesn’t take into account shut gates. ;)

I feel like I should butt in here. Firstly I wasn’t exactly offended by being called the name, I have no problem looking daft in front of work mates, colleagues etc. I just posted this for a laugh. I personally think they look well daft the am45 but they keep my feet dry but they do look like special shoes, am I allowed to say special.

Personally being called a “spacker” doesn’t bother me. Nor being called “a cheese eating surrender monkey” after all I’m half French. People who take the moral high ground on these sayings obviously don’t understand context. Or I am obviously insensitive to what is right and wrong. In other words banter is banter unless you prefer being wrapped in middle class cotton wool.

Rant over!

Thank for piping up Pook. I always value your appreciation of my slim physique.

Why have you changed your shoes already (I suspect I know the answer to this one, is it because your desperate for some attention and this is the only way you can think of getting some)?

I had nothing to contribute to STW and dreamed up this baby.

They look gash! besides i do relish the piss take!

In which case you are a spacker.

Gaylord.

Thank you all for your support ;)

God forbid i put my trouser clips on to stop material flappage on the way home. They’ll all collapse! They still don’t understand why somebody chooses to ride to work.

I’d love to but…..for the minute it’s just nice to be able to sling the bike in the boot before work and then go riding somewhere further a field should I fancy it at the end of the day straight from work.

So how do save up?

Good question

Is your wife happy that you divert funds to your bike rather than things like treating her to a meal out?

The compromise was me keeping the bike out of the kitchen. Now she’s got plenty of time/space to cook, i think she enjoys it ;)

I’ve got several pair of holy socks and pants.Only 2 pair of trousers 1 which my mother kindly repaired. No trainers. Can’t remember the last time me and the wife had a meal out. And boozing every weekend has definitely come to an end. I’m even complaining about the £12 it is going to cost for the dogs on Friday!

Yeah as an employee of the NHS I feel your pain Ben_H.

Lets see how long I last..I obviously need

A full face helmet £80

Convert to 1 ring up front and maybe 10 at back £200

Repair/Replace Garmin £90

Bouncy Bike £ahem

Lower Kerb £600!!!. This is high on the wifes list!

Cheers for all the info, actually relieved i may not have to shell too much out!

Cheers GEDA

I am afraid you are going to have to buy a whole new bike as your 3×10 bike will not be designed to withstand the extra strains of 1×10

I can smell a whiff of something in the air

Its a shimano slx triple at the minute, with hollowtech BB

+1 for Beast Sheds. mine is immense! 14×9

A bimble down the steel city DH and Pub run @ Grenoside. Immense fun on a lovely sunday morning.

i managed a small amount of air into the bombhole today. didnt see you on an mmmbop though. hope you had a good one pal

I hope you’re not implying I was never there and it never happened. ;)

Well im the one with inflated ego now. As ive overcome a little more.

Play nice..this is my thread!!!! Yours Blue mmmbop rider

Looked at peatys drop but don’t think I’ll bother yet

Finally done it this morning! Onwards and upwards!

Oh and my knee pads hummmm!!!

Looks like a few of us going. I don’t drive an Audi or work in IT so have no idea why I’m on singletrack, nor do I ride cyclocross.

Yes. My endurance shorts are falling apart. My endura base layer haas a gaping hole in it. My gloves are now fingerless for three fingers. Am I replacing soon.nnnnoooooo!

Aye ragley mmmbop. Bumped into you at steetley ages ago.

I’ve got some body armour maybeishould give it a go with that
