180/160 on my bike. It seems to slow down and stop with no problems.

I’ve been toying with the idea of midget gem vodka. Can someone with experience of using sweets clue me up on the amount needed for this.

Mr Nice is a really good read. You couldn’t have made it up.

The conversation about the 300 quid (should be 450 though) should be between your neighbour and the builder shouldn’t it ?

I always prefer to give a more controlled tap with a big heavy hammer,rather than going full tilt with a smaller one.

I don’t know how far he goes, but there’s a bloke I see out and about who uses his Alsation like a Husky, he has it towing him and his bike along the path :-)

Have you got any other time available outside of the time you have for the 2 rides you do ?

You need the STW Heavy Metal playlist off Spotify :-)

That was the best World Dart Final that I’ve seen for a week.
Missed a 147 in the snooker while it was on though.

Did you have scraps with your fish and chips ?

You could have problems looming up with a dog that does that.

As above. I used check and send last time I renewed mine and it was back in a week.

You’re all barking mad.

Beamish museum maybe.

I think it would help me if I was a pro and getting paid to suffer. As it is I just swear at myself out loud.

Re 2k on the concept2, nothing worse than that in my sporting life, I used to be scared of pulling the handle to get started.

Give him a clip round the ear and take his selection box off him :D

It should be as simple as plugging the tablet into the computer USB port. Shouldn’t it ?

No snow in Saltburn but I’m seeing cars drive past with snow on them.

Went and bought some last minute presents and some uneccesery extra food.
Had lunch and just been out for a ride in the woods and up on the cliffs. Its windy and muddy.
Cleaned the bike a bit and now having a cup of tea.
Wrapping presents next then watching whatever rubbish is on tv with a couple of beers and a large tub of cheeselets.

Oxo cube

I love the darts. One of the best things about Christmas these days. A tungsten yuletide treat.

It depends on the crust to filling ratio for me.

Quite a few of my old mate Frank Zappa’s lyrics are what you’re looking for :|

I’m Portugese :|
Need to drink more beer then :D

Age 50. RHR of 44. Max on a bike 173.

Reading glasses and a watch for me. Must try harder I suppose.
Missing category = single speed bike. ( I haven’t got one of those either :-) )

The truss rod and/or bridge height might need adjusting to get the action right. A decent guitar shop should do this before they sell a guitar but some don’t. Especially on budget guitars.

If the action is high it will make it hard to learn properly.

Just got back from a lap of Dalby red.
I’d certainly think twice about going right round it with a bunch of newbies, some of them will hit the wall before the end, especially at the moment with the diversion near the end including a fair sized climb.
You’d be better off concocting a route utilising some of the escape routes or splitting your group onto the red and blue routes.
Good trail conditions there at the moment, semi frozen mud and no puddles of grind paste.

I just had exactly the same thing.
One off Orange next I suppose.

The On-One Smorgasbord is what I’ve got on the back of my bike at the moment and it’s seems OK in the current muddy conditions.

Anything that just involves just pedalling along in a controlled situation is ok ish. It’s mishaps causing uncontrolled heavy dabs etc that I’d be wary of and also being in the attack position, esp on rough stuff, would be a worry for me if I was in your position.

The answer must be yes for me as I only have one bike so it has to be the one I’d have if I could have only one.

Mind you I am getting n+1 syndrome.

I’ve been through a recovery from a fully ruptured Achilles. I’d advise caution and patience a re rupture isn’t worth the risk.

The price of brake pads is what keeps me off the levers.

Only 1 bike I’m afraid. Specialized Camber.

XC stuff is what my camber is best at. I haven’t ridden any other of the spesh bikes to be able to offer a comparison though. Tech stuff It seems good enough for someone of my mediocre ability to get round the types of trail I mentioned earlier with no problems. Good for most things I reckon but maybe not one for pseudo downhillers.

There you go then, you’ve talked yourself into buying the camber. Go and get it before you change your mind. :mrgreen:

I’ve got the FSR Expert Carbon 2013 version of the Camber. For riding stuff like the borrowdale bash, whinlatter, Guisborough forest, Hamsterley etc it’s good (to me :-))
