cant see this lasting long… good job i bookmarked it.

Ah its not there anymore. It was earlier today it was in the banner bit.

Ive just heard they charge you £10 at the end – give it a try, find out and let us know.

Northumbrigchan > hard to spell it like we say it.

Funny North of Newcastle south of Berwick twang.

Currys 169 with £10 store credit. £159 direct from google but they charge 10 quid delivery.

Both 16gb I’ve just bought a one for 100 from a guy at work as he is getting 3G model next week.

sorry I meant the foil.

dont they have dodgy seat clamps or did they fix that?

303, 404 Firecrests, C35s, Enve (on CK hubs from wheelsmith) would be my choice.

Sorry guys fulcrum3/rs80 are budget wheels really. Cosmic carbone SL are a bit heavy at 1700g SLR are ok.

Speak to derek at Wheelsmith.co.uk he would sort you out something lovely and handbuilt for it. Gigantex 50mm clincher on a variety of hubs. I run some as last seasons race wheels and this coming seasons training wheels they are fine for everything, stiff and light. Moving to some FFWD F6R tubs for next season.

Edit Ive also got some Ksyrium Elites as a spare set of wheels that I hardly use as they make irritating squeaking when climbing and im only 70kg. Apparently quite a few get squeaking problems at the nipple joints. Might sell them actually come to think of it.

Virtual box with additions, you can set it up with shared mapped drives etc between your mac and the VM, which is handy for transferring files.

I was never sure about installing a AV on the windows XP VM but did for safety anyway.

scruff, he is a cracker

Meet Brad – now 10 rescued from NESSR he had had 4 homes by 4 years old. We got him 6 years ago. He hasnt left yet but he has come close, we had to make a big life decision for him.

This was him yesterday sporting his new haircut. Looking a bit hard up.

He was ran over 3 years ago and has two titanium rods bracing his spine. He has 3 vertebrae that were reconstructed and braced together. Thankfully he regained full use of legs after 3 months of hell and tears. He had hydrotherapy to get his muscle mass back. He also has no hip ball joint on his right back leg. This seems to cause him the most discomfort. He is on Metacam and that seems to keep him happy enough. He can still chase a tennis ball but only once a day is now enough for him. His mind is still hyper just his body cant keep up which is such a shame for him.

In total it was about £5k which was insured thankfully. Otherwise he would have been a goner. We had the decision to make on him whether to get him put to sleep or give him a chance, we thought everyone else has given up on him in his life I wont. I was in tears like a baby.

This was him 3 days before he was run over:

Meet Murphy my mothers Working cocker. He also has a bit of a tale attached. He crashed into his brother Indy on the beach another working cocker. He ended up with a detatched retina and had to have his eye removed at only 11 months. Hes a lovely active dog and still does gundog training everyweek.

Not superglue a friend did that once after his girlfriend kicked it off during some nightime car park entertainment. Ended up cracking the windscreen.

Didnt some folk die from using a disposable bbq in a tent this summer. I’d open the window.

^ ah i see what you did there eh eh … I like it

“But people exposed to periods of high stress, like marathon runners, could reduce their risk of catching colds by half if they took the vitamin daily.”

Sounds fairly similar situation :

A few weeks before the start of the cross season I increased the intensity of my training to involve more HIIT sessions and from that I caught a chesty cold a week before the start of the season. I ignored it and raced through it only to catch a head cold a week after clearing the previous one.

Hopefully it goes soon. Got another race on Sunday.

Suppose in the meantime I should get some vitamin stuff. Whats an effervescent?

Binners ^ Ive been there before – was a regular haunt of mine.

Two years ago today i was 100kg.

Trail Rat, yep normally fairly healthy stuff, veg, fresh food we dont use any jars or pre prepared sauces etc. Lots of wholemeal bread, eggs, nuts, raisins that kind of whole food stuff.

I think your last point may be most important. Im probably not recovering since the first one I had

Summer in background attatched to turbo with an old back wheel on. CX bike in forefront with cx wheels on, swap to some road wheels when i go on road. Cant be bothered taking guards on and off for CX racing.

Jonba, i ended up taking 3rd place of your steels team mate after i queired the results. THey forgot to count my first lap as i fell of when in first, was gutted as i was determined to beat the single speed guy. He wont the One Peak at hetton so dont take him lightly. Comes down from Edinburgh.

NECCL 10 quid without TLI licence £5 with, i race TLI mid week road races through summer so have licence.

My 2 yr old girl is obsessed with bob the builder, trying to lean her towards peppa pig a bit more

Im gutted for you, not willing to offer any advice as I think you know what needs done already.

We got a springer from a springer rescue, mistakenly on 25th October 5 years ago. The first bonfire night with us was horrendous, shaking, panting, howling incessant barking. Very aggressive behaviour towards me as I tried to help him. It was very stressful. A few days later and it was all gone back to normal. Except for his fear of the rain. Turns out that this was also due to thunder which he thought was fireworks.

We tried everything including tranquilisers which were horrible to see him wasted.

Anyway we had a baby in January 2011, 5th Nov comes round and nothing he is asleep on the sofa not a care in the world. We thought it may be a one off but then last night the same, totally different dog. Upside down on sofa all night.

Same house, only difference is our daughter. We were wondering if the pack dynamics have changed and he no longer sees himself top of the pack defending us. He now knows its me & wife and daughter in charge round here.

IMO and havering had such stressful problems for 3 years that the public sale of them should be banned, or at least at the hell out I them so nobody can buy them. Public displays can stay.

No kebab?

He looks like someone from that TOWIE thing.

Fake tanned, dyed hair, pumped up chest, low cut top.

decent program though.

they’re 😉

Jag 27 is an ok little boat actually.

I’ve a cracking Sadler 32 for sale if anyone is interested.

Sorry your boat is crap, please don’t go into the North Sea in that.

I’ve raced and cruised yachts and dinghies on this coast for 25 years.

RNYC do a guide to ports on the north east coast. Royal Northumberland yacht club. They sell it in local chandlers so you may pick one up down there. If not Storrar marine store in Newcastle will sort you out.

As above though a proper paper chart is minimum alongside digital charts. VHF, flares, spare fuel, spare impellers for outboard, spare sheer pin, spare 2 stroke oil, funnel, lifejacket a, glow sticks, anchor with decent amount of chain plus rope. Knife. Spanners, screw drivers, pliers, wd40, spare spark plugs,

^ just to get you started

Not sure I want to sync though as syncing will pull all the data to the N7 and use all the space.

Not so fussed on Itunes really since im now using Spotify

Chrome (macbook) bookmarks would be handy to sync.

Gravity ^ you sound like a handy bloke to stay in touch with cheers

Can i suggest to you a Forme Hiver? Cheap as chips £250 on ebay at the moment light with full carbon fork inc steerer.

A lad in the NE races on one and has just signed for Rapha squad so must be good enough for high end racing. I have one but im not as good as him. Generally top 10 at local events.

Stick some nice tubs on them and your done.

Faiing that spend loads on one of these – Van Dessel Full Tilt Boogie

I was due to be there but cx racing has taken over (what a shame!) 😀

Not thrunton at all that’s my iPhone autocorrect playing up. Should have said the.

Did anyone race thrunton CxNE series at Druridge Bay Sunday? Very sticky draggy course.

Mother has two working cockers, I’ve got a working springer.

Cockers are not mini springers that’s for sure. Very clever very intense dogs. She spends quite a bit of ££ a week going to special gundog lessons to keep them stimulated and that working mentality.

They aren’t really just a family pet as they can be so intense. My springer on the other hand is still hardwork but a bit dopier and a bit more prone to a good sleep during the day as long as he gets a good run around a few times a day.

My mother spends about 2 – 3 hrs a day with her two to keep them entertained. Based on what you’ve said and our experiences I would avoid a working cocker on your work patterns.

My TRP ones seem fine for me but never done any mega downhills just racing.

Elsdon – (Cafe) via gibbet – then bilsmoor east and around up to holystone back bilsmoor heading west back up the gibet – or the big cyclone loop from there website.

I have both, rollers for a spinning session after and before races. A nasty winter night between training sessions ill use rollers. Intervals, sprinting, hill/resistance and HR zone traing on the turbo.

Put this to the top again

You won’t need then for cross racing anyway.

2nd CX Race – got a 10th first time a few weeks back and 4th this weekend. Both at Hetton nr Sunderland. The One Peak of Hetton TLI race.

Some Scottish guy won on a singlespeed.

Yep the long rides have made way for hill climbs though. Mixing up with some CX.
Hoping to get a few long rides in these next few weeks though. Probably throw a set of road tyres on some ksyrium elites and add them on the cx bike soon.

The good bike is going up in the spare bedroom soon.

If anyone knows anyone in Belgium I’ll happily paypal some cash over to get me one sorted.

Surely this cant defeat the STW

I cant find anything anywhere.

Are there any belgians on here?
