yep , should be there tomorrow night but weather forecast not looking good .

in the south east , it doesnt feel like it .

all you need is to find a few truffles and it will pay for itself !

very interesting reading .

currently doing a diploma in nutrition .

I have lost 8kg in the past few moths by increasing the exercise , 5 miles of running a day instead of 5 miles cycling , and cutting down on snacks .

but cant seem to loose anymore , so hopefully that diet will help to shift the extra kilos .

ok cool , will be there at ususal time .

cant do tomorrow night ( tuesday ) , but wednesday or thursday would be fine ?

Planning a ride in the morning , early ish start , 8.30 max .

will be there tomorrow .

happy to go round joysden wood or go further afield as it is longest day of the year .

Nice in the south of france .

cool .

I am testing 1 * 9 at the moment .

will be there tuesday .

yep , should be there . weather forecast looks good too .

no issue here . managed to log on and I am still broke so no mistake ! .

I have never done it , but quite a few people I know have done it this year .

some of them on hardtails .

very hard race but doable with the right training .

will be there tomorrow night , can do a bit earlier as i am off work , and planning on going racing wednesday night at the Beast way series .

yep , no problem , we meet on top of bridleway by golf course . 6h45 to 7 pm .

yes will be there .

from next week , we are moving from thursday to tuesday .
so all welcome on tuesday evening , on top of bridleway by golf course for 18h45 .

french expact here , but I am from Millau in the south , so not very helpfull . But there are a lot of good riding around paris . try the velovert.com forum for more infos on the riding .

Running an hotel is a lot of work with unsociable hours . forget your evenings and week ends .

52 rooms is not massive and you would not need a lot of staff to clean them, a chambermaid can clean 4 rooms an hour easy . a good chef is compulsory , deosnt have to be michelin star to be successful but nice and simple will always be a hit .

if you are going to attract contractors you need cheap beer in the evening and nice food otherwise they will be going to the pub next door .

conference and seminars are very good business as they use all aspects of the business .

as long as you are prepared to put the hours in , it can be rewarding . I have done it for 10 years and loved it , but no social life can be difficult .

i think it is the week end of 20/21 august .

hoping to make it again if back from france .
if we do , will bring some sponsorship gifts .

great week end , highly recommanded for the whole family . we have 3 yound kids ( 7 , 4 and 2 ) and theyloved it last year .

I ll be there too .
good weather so trails should be excellent .
and for those with no lights , we managed to ride till 8pm last week .

£900 every month in joint account to cover mortgage and food bills .. £300 on top of that to cover the rest , council tax and insurances .

friend of friend discovered on his divorce that his wife had blown £50K on online bingo in 3 years !!

I can put you in touch with riders from there if you want .

Place de la comedie is good in may / june , in august all the students have gone …..

take a mtb too , some good of road trails not far .

thanks neilforrow, but we dont own the property yet .

if we get it , I ll keep it in mind .

thanks , that is what I thought .

and there is a small chance the footings on the extension are strong enough .

all set for tomorrow night .
apart from heavy rain last friday it has been fairly dry , so should ride great again .

gutted for you warren . I was about to email you to see how you were getting on .

I used to cook a ketogenic diet to a kid with epilepsy problems .

portions are tiny , and cant see how you could do cardio exercises on it .

me too .

should be there too . not sure which bike yet .

will be out tomorrow night .

Keith : wont be able to make it tonight , wife is going out .

the riding is good , but nothing spectacular . you porobably went on the horsetrack which can be horrendous at times , but plenty of singletracks in between .
we ride every thursday night from 18h45, except this week as I am away .

I ll be there tomorrow night .

a black coffee will help your body turn to fat rather than sugar for energy during the first 45 minutes .
but dont go out too long without food as you will feel unwell very quickly .

good ride tonight on my own .
a bit muddy but it was expected .

I should be out tomorrow night .

easy answer .

become obssessed with retrobikes .
before you know it , you will have 10 plus bikes which make you smile everytime you look at them .I use all of mine regularly and race them too . retrobike had 50 riders at last year MM .

but when weather is crap or you need to race , use your modern .

great news , should be back again this year with the familly .

good ride tonight .
trails were fairly dry .
back next week for more .
