Contentment comes not from great wealth, but from few wants.
If you set goals too high you will never be happy

I’ve damaged my achilles tendons by overdoing the hills when starting up with running. I thought stretching pre run was a good idea but it isn’t if you are not fully warmed up. So go easy to start with.

Long slow rides
Get you good at
Long slow rides

And enable you to get faster
And further
And enjoy yourself for longer
In the long
Run

You dirty tubeless b******s

Nobody will ever meet me.

How about Crocodiles by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

I use a runners bumbag by activ8. Its fine and takes a waterbottle, tubes phone and little pump.
Bumbags are the future

As long as you’re able
To put food on the table
It’s a good day
So long as you don’t hear
No children cry
It’s a good day

Strava does seem to have a tendency to cut corners. 😉

Ghosts never seem to do anyone any physical harm do they?

I used to live near Skipton. It is nice enough but not very lively. A bit of a cold fish of a town.

Don’t expect the kids to “get” Lowry paintings.
I loved it but always love galleries

Anyone for Duncan Browne?

This is ace. Thanks to whoever posted it on the Tune association thread a while back

Andrew Jones pies rule OK

Turner 5 spot just about meets all my requirements although it is built up at a burly 34 pounds.
I would buy a lighter more XC bike if I could justify the £s

It definitely means naked with tie.

What the hell?
There’s only one way to find out for sure…

Banned from competitive sport – maybe?
Banned from making music – why?

Have you checked down the back of the sofa?

Why can’t all those clever scientist folk on the telly stop looking up into the sky and get together to sort out some real world issues such as nice energy supplies and feeding the masses. Once they have done that they can all get back in their cars and be interviewed driving up a mountain in Chile to sit in an observatory.
Horizon now makes me angry.

You may get into trouble lurking in the park bushes like that.

I use an Active8 one (running kit) It works well for me but is a bright blue colour which I could do without. It is good to get away from the backpack scenario for shorter rides.
There is the paranoia about the possibility of impalement on sharp tools in a crash so I leave the screwdrivers at home and just carry a small pump, multitool and phone. My bag can even stretch to a drink bottle.

First – Black Sabbath, Bradford St. George’s Hall in about 1974
Next – The Albion Band, Hebden Bridge Trades (roots folk weekend)

Who gives a shit. Heroes are for Hero Worshipers. Honestly some of you folks deserve all you get for investing your emotions so cheaply.
I hope a few people are sufficiently dissilusioned by this racket to take a long hard look at themselves and get bloody real.

Ignore the video, it’s just the song

Personally I would go for the travel adjust for climbing

You have to asume that the rider shown is skilled in riding it and doing his best to show the thing off. So how come I don’t get it?

Papua New Guinea is a great record but essentially instrumental so not a song in my books.
