    You’ve got the Lefka Ori near there. The E4 route runs through them so you can head Sougia way or go up past the Killergi mountain hut and head into the heart of the mountain range. I tried to do Pachnes many years ago in July but was too much snow on top for biking alone.

    He probably has learned as he went along. I know his paddling was crap when he first came on the scene even though he pretended to be an experienced canoeist

    Lofty once did a butchery exhibition with some senior officers there to observe him passing on the Training. Used every part of the sheep for one thing or another and was left with the genitalia. “Right then what are we going to do with this?” “Cook it” came a response. “No stick pips on it and send it to Sandhurst with the rest of the #%^}{“

    I would bet on him coming out on top against the rest. He also though Peter Duncan was a Jessie when he did Duncan dares with him. Another Chief Scout

    I have just changed from 3×9 to 1×10 and haven’t noticed much difference. You do look for that lower chainring at first but I have still managed the same climbs so far. Just simpler.

    She wasn’t allowed near Marty as my mum had first dibs. Told her the only reason she had VIP tickets was because my sister was shacked up in hotel room with one of them. My mum’s response was “I don’t care I am meeting Marty”. Still has the photo of them up on her house hugging and drinking bud. She did tell my dad she had only come back because Marty hadn’t asked her to run away.

    Paul Thomson from Roxy Music has drummed for me. Guitarist from Christians helped out on lead too.

    Was mentioned on bbc news as several mountain rescue teams looked for me. Police suspected I had murdered my lass and gone to the hills to top myself. She was wild camping with me by the way. Genius policing.

    My sister shagged someone from wet wet wet. Bit of departure for her having previously disappeared on tour with Korn and Panterra.

    Be screwed if they did it here and wanted something out of mine! That aside I find it incredible that they can do it. Also can’t see it being a good place for a holiday if this kicks off which will make the economy worse again.

    Yep higher up you go the less hassle you get. Mainly because the obnoxious ramblers are usually too old and unfit to get that high. I was once confronted by about 20 on the road around the back from Ambleside to Rydal to Loughrigg. They were spread across the road and didn’t want to move then one Doris started insuring I should be passing on the right. I pointed out a) it was a road so I should be on the left and b) they were a bunch of co..s!

    That’s a real shame as it was a great shop. I’ve bought a fair bit of stuff from there over the years. Had great stock for a small shop. Also price matched the Internet so really reasonable. Friendly staff and fun throwing ball towards the grapes for the dog too . Activ in Corbridge looked empty in comparison.

    I popped mine in to Ride Cycles Newcastle this week for few bits done at 1. Phoned shortly after to say it was done! Pretty good service. And they are also now a fox service centre so handy to know you could pop forks or shock into a local shop.

    Probably not. What trail centres do you enjoy?

    I am going to test mine properly tomorrow on the DW 5 spot. But even locally the difference from the old RP23 is noticeable. Still need to dial it in correctly but it is buttery smooth. I don’t think the medium is going to cause me any problems by the looks of it. What a bargain.

    I used to work as an evangelist with young people in my twenties for a born again church. I think evolution should be compulsory in every school. Anything else is just make believe as I realised later in life. Secular schooling is the way forward with RE as the place for all faiths to be discussed on an equal footing.

    Loco you didn’t but a few others have in this thread in respect of 5 spots. Appears to be the common perception on 5 spot threads. I also thought that was true having looked at all the shock threads for 5 spot owners. Turns out its not as simple as that then.

    Oh well seeing as its started I will put my hands up to this as I called them. I am going to try sticking with medium and see how it goes on 5 spot. Interestingly, while not the same advice I passed on, I did find this which backs up campfreddie’s comment. Differs from there being not much difference though.
