geetee thats how i started and roading has totally taken over my riding.

You can jump on for a quick few hours from your door – get some great fitness and be home by 11 with 50-60 miles in your legs.

I’ve dropped 4 stone in a year thanks to my roadbike.

keep us all informed bacon – im gona get one of these in the spring if they still have them cheap.

Colnago Master, in white with a modern build kit and some carbon 50’s….drool time.

rock and indie covers band? My mate is in one – proper pub type stuff though – Kings of leon covers etc. Email in profile if you want a link.

tripples? Compacts? pah

get yourself a 39-53

No tea-cozy? You need a tea-cozy.

Dont wash your teapot just rinse it out with hot water. Most people say tea bags per person +1 but i dont agree.

Im not getting another ban for reacting to binners

He must be bored or lonely or maybe both.

erm no he has a job as a plasterer and his wife works too Binners.

So your whole post was pointless – move along.

The point about drinking was not really related but just included to show that they are more both bothered about a good night out then this other issue. Bearing in mind he has been on holiday all over the xmas period.

His godson is a roofer who i know and i suggested giving him a ring, he said “Aye I could do like….” then walked away.

Got some Specialized s-works road shoes £200 down to £140 at M Steels in Gosforth – 30% off clothing so that included the shoes.

Bargaintastic especially as i was needing/wanting some new shoes anyway.

In bed at 10 ish last night up at 5 this morn with the 1 yr old. Off road riding with local club. Cafe and a steady 50/60 would be nice. Burn off some Xmas crap I’ve been eating

I have so far said this 3 times on here and have yet to hear a justification from anyone, so I’ll say it again.

Only 1 men’s bog! What brain box thought of that? Especially when most people travel a fair distance to ride there.

Think of the amount he is being paid. The guilt should diminish.

Hey that worked thanks

Whistestop in Inners – 5.65 Soup and sarnie. Bloomin lovely.

Whats the deal with only 1 male shitter – sunday mornings maybe interesting.

Just found pedal on doing Cateye Double Wireless for only 52.99 quite a saving over everywhere else on web.

Hope it doesnt conflict with my cheapo £12 aldi HRM.

cheap computer with cadence and HRM in built dont exist your talking £100 +

I’ve been looking at one too and have come to conclusion that i will just get a cateye double strada for all the biking needs (turbo and road) and then continue using my cheap aldi crane sports HRM as a seperate unit.

Sleep on the sofa by 10:30 as usual. Rudely awoken by fireworks, trundle off to bed with mrs. No lovin either as it isn’t my birthday.

Rock and Roll

look few people deep and there isnt much grief – looks like the people on the front of the lines have been told to act in grief but those behind are just looking on plain faced.

On a slightly different note – if you were buying a set of S-works road shoes….? Would you expect a proper fitting where they put you on a bike, check knee alingment, check wedges and footbeds?

It will be from a reasonable size specialized store but not a concept store. I know they do fittings etc there.

Class up there today – however my first trip since the peel centre opened…

a few observations..
there are now even more Audi’s parked there – must have been more than 10 there at 10:00 😉
There is only 1 shitter (didnt venture to cafe)
Less parking then there previously was – we finished at 2 ish and there were cars parked everywhere .

Other than that a cracking day.

Difficult to compare as they are totally different bikes – roubaixs arent nice IMO the headtube is massive – the bars are really high. Madone will be faster geometry.

Speed or comfort you decide.

Defy is on par with roubaix – TCR on par with Trek above.

Checkout latest R57 Planet x – bit of a halfway house with great groupsets.

nothing just seeing how long it would take someone to bite

your correct they dont – well done A*

🙄

Pressume you mean for a road bike?

Depends on crank length, BB height surely.

15 degree bend in knee when full stroke and balls of feet over axles is near enough to start – from there move up and down a mm or so to perfect it.

If its an MTB then mine changes throughout the ride depending on terrain.

Lets move onto a Passatt CC, why?

Audi A5 – why does it exist?

Pretty but pointless.

In fact with kids and bikes I now see anything other than estates or SUV type things as pointless. The critical factor for me now is – can you fit doors in it, house internal doors? Yes then ok but no means they’re pointless.

Carl.
Like it and wouldn’t change it.

Everyone at school shortened their names – Dave, Ben, Daz, Nick etc…. couldn’t do that with mine so got called Carlos along with a lot of other names

+1 Always got Carlos – you cant do much with Carl – especially when your middle name is Roland FFS – yes that bloody rat was the bain of my life.

Chylamidia ?

I delivered a crappy Beneteau Oceanis 47 to Gran Canaria from Newcastle a few years back. leaving in November wasnt the best idea – force 9 in English Channel was bad but Biscay in a 10 was horrendous – theyre is a shelf that nearly runs from ushant to Cape Finisterre which jacks up the sea. We stayed West of this and storm jibbed only for about 2 days.

Ate nothing for ages as it kept coming back up – one thing i will always remember is the Muller Rice Apple that I had once it all calmed down to an 8.

The weaning her off a 4 am feed isn’t going to well tonight 🙁

Last night she self soothed for 10 mins then back to sleep, tonight it’s been an hour of screaming and cuddling. 11 months yesterday.

Actually some advice please guys. My Grandfather has a 1973 he thinks – Omega Geneve Date in Gold strap and gold bezel bit – so all gold.

Anyways its broken so he sent it to Northern Goldsmiths who he always deals with. They reckoned on I think 700 to fix it which seemed way too high to me. Dont know many more details but he is just going to put it in a drawer i imagine now.

I mentioned he should sell it but we are unsure who would take it broken.

mrs suggested an emily and a lucy – didnt dare tell her they were twins i had been with – separately i must add though and not at same time.

When choosing girls names did anyone else have issues when their Mrs suggested names of women you had slept with in the past ?

Planet x team alu.

Update – the tooth arrived in my bowel motion after about 36 hrs.

Ive now got a cleaer understanding of my motions.

Disinfected and reattached – much to the disgust of the wife.

If anyone needs tips on how to collect and analyse stools – I’m your man.

Everyone I know who has had them has got rid for one reason. Fuel consuption. When they buy them they dont really care about that but after a year they have all sold them.

Actually one lad has just replaced it with a CTR.

We wanted something traditional, simple and could be shortened if she wants when she gets older. Also it was my great grandmothers name who i was very close to when I was younger.

We chose Eleanor.

Not many of them about – she can get Ellie, Ella and my favourite Nora.

Thats the way to solve it.

My Mum thinks I look ill = racing weight

+1 getting grief of mother and 2 grannies here.

Result – Athlete 13%

179cm and 76kg/12st – compared to 15stone this time last year.

I was hoping for its arrival today fingers crossed.

Anyone? Do you think a veneer tooth classes as a personal possession?
