no can do this thursday I’m afraid, mrs is out so i’m on kids detail…
am out for long xc on monday from 9am onwards, tuesday is road ride to whitsands and surrounding area (again from 9am) then Haldon nite ride after work on friday for a few hours…

next week should return to normal and I’ll most likely be out on tues & thursday eve.

Mid week/tuesday’s ride’s entry requirements are if you can stick to the pace along the cycle path then your in

that about sums it up!! after that though it does calm down a tad, unless Si young is leading!

unfortunately imat work on thursday in torquay…good luck..!!! especially after the crap that arthur has been spouting in the herald of late….!!

cwmcarn uplift tomorrow morning in fact!!
we go afan once sometimes twice a year as a big group, quantocks rides a little more frequently but not as frequent as we should..

never been assed to drive to FOD

thanks..

coastpath to wembury is a good one,lopwell dam route through southway nature reserve is also good, strava my name you’ll find a few..
a few of us ride from coypool tues/thurs evenings and early sunday mornings really easy paced. and around a few hours long, distance varies though! like last night!!!
yogis good bunch of lads and good for fun/fitness/routes but they don’t stop much..! as Julian says if you unsure of your fitness then start with the thursday group, the only problem with that evening is they don’t start from coypool they drive to yelverton then discuss where they going, then drive to that place, then ride a trail….a bit of a faff for me to bother with unfortunately.

my mail is in my profile if you fancy meeting up at all.
I ride mon/tuesday during the days also if you have time off.

curanail/loceryl will work with MINOR infections, IME (podiatrist) anything more than 25% of the nail infected then you will need oral terbinafine on prescription from your GP.

you may need way more than 3 months prescription.

i drove to the Qtox a few years ago, rode to the 1st descent where sponging machines gear cable snapped, we walked slowly back to the car then drove home…after that i always carry one, it weighs nowt and could save a long walk back…

admittedly the rest of my backpack is sadly lacking save for a few old power links and old jelly babies.

mmm comfy slippers…they do look funny though

cwmcarn uplift booked on saturday…hope its dry/frozen anything as long as its not pi$$ing down…

dunno i got sent alink with photos, cba logging in atm will post up later.

check the facebook page, some photos there, was going to go on friday night until i saw that!! does look grim.

orange 224..?

julian wilson on here is selling a minter for a mate, its in ace condition and not a faff to use/service etc…

YOGI chap, nice guy on email, will deffo use him as its nice and local to me..

my old staffy (10yrs) tried to bite my 1st child through the baby gate, a day after that he started snarling whenever my son stood up (whilst learning to walk, previous to that no aggression or problems(never ever left alone though).
I phoned the vet and discussed this, I then phoned the local c&d home (they did not re-home dogs who had shown aggression towards humans) and then I took him to the vet and had him put to sleep, easy decision.
the mrs was at the time a theatre nurse in plastic surgery, lots of kids/people with mauled bits and pieces by dogs, so the decision was perhaps easier for us..

went to time from cb mallets last year…no waaaaay would I go back.
they feel positive like spd’s but floaty also, never had any unclipping issues and it help sort out my dodgy knees.
would recommend. (time atac carbons here…2nd hand obviously though!)

please please help us on this one….the NIMBYS around here are particularly vocal with their opposition.

watched that earlier on…jeez he is nails..!!

ace film…

@ 88 my riding buddy has had to strip his bike down and sell off parts, he has his 224 frame for sale with some mint 888’s he may have some other stuff too..all good stuff from a nice chap…
his mail is charlesworthdan AT hotmail DOT com.

I’ve a bit of patellar tendonitis on the tibial insertion….I’ll leave the squats alone me thinks for a wee while.

@jat i live in plymouth..fighting isn’t training its a social pastime.

@banks I could store one at work..

cheers may well do that…enjoy Holland…its shocking weather here..

mmm thats true…maybe I’ll borrow one to see if I like it…can’t help but think I’ll find it dull though.

still fancy grenofen woods soon…will mail you when I’m back to 100% which won’t be long, going to head out for a gentle spin tomorrow to see how it feels riding.

kwfc…great for my knees eh!
whisk..sexercise..i like it..
banks..no room for rowing machine…liking the look of kettle bells though

@wrecker…where? (i don’t know where to look!)

@PP that looks hard work!!

just want to keep a bit of cross training up really

@ jambo, have thought of that but if I’m going to use time riding then I think I would prefer just to go out on my mtb really.

@iainc swimming would be ace, my local pool is a bit shit though so the nearest usable one is 20mins away plus nearly £4 a swim…

@nathan…no snow here just yet but i’ll bear it in mind… 🙂

@northwind, nothing too low impact just have dodgy knees. have thought about yoga but decent classes are scant around the southwest backwater!

ukulele underground
ukehunt (say it fast!)

all have beginners guides to ukes
i had a eleuke (electric uke) they are quiet to practice on and beautiful when plugged in also beautifully made….check out guting on youtube for tutorials, the guy is talented..

gutted i sold mine now…

yup me too, ride with monsieur Wilson above^^^
mainly gawton… a few other places locally and a bit of cwmcarn occasionally.(and again in the next few weeks hopefully)

just got a NP scalp also, I’m loving it, its really plush on the rear compared to my 224.

mmm south wales trip….keep me posted, mail in profile…

2×2 frame old spare bit of kitchen worktop for the main part….looks ok does the job nicely..

cheap.

I’ve a terma tech tt40 (i think) its been on since 6pm had a bunch of kindling and then 3 logs in it on slow burn and the whole house is sweltering……also got a stovax insert stove also ace…
oh and what andy says the insert stve has intake throught rear we have air brick thingy in fr room…imo they get too hot but the mrs & dog love it…

fail..pic adding..?

mucky nutz, good bit of kit…according to my buddy they are overpriced plastic tat, and I can see why people think that being as it prob cost about 5p to make…but they do the job nicely and keep the crap away from the stanchions. good for rear mudguards too keeping the crap out of linkage etc.

if its good enough for most on the dh circuit then its good enough for me…ditched my old downtube crudguard now and the innertube between fork crown/brace.

ah fairly cheap then, no problems with mine so far though (and I’m a shade under 13st).

@ stevede how much was the spacer mod..? I’m not going to do it to mine as it feels ace but just interested..?

rp23 on mine is fooking great, miles better than my tuned/shim stacked swinger i had on my morewood, excellent shock ime..

pro 2 …

worst

hub

ever

mine is made from cheese it would seem, constantly relacing pawl springs and the freehub is deffo made from cheese…once had one rear bearing fail which destroyed the hub & axle and pretty much and left me riding the nutcracker on a fixie! not great…my burgtecs however have been faultless..

wish i had never bought mine…

nerve compression..shoes too tight.

xl for dh bike
2.1 for trail bike.

Gawton all day sunday..gonna be wet anyone got any full waterproof suits?
