2nd for myo xp, had mine about 4 years and you can't tell.

soft shells are ok if you know you won't want to take it off, they're too bulky. the vapourise stuff is quite good (as long as you wear a base layer for running) but i prefer the "two bottles into the shower approach": light-weight fleece with like a montane windshirt, far far cheaper and more convenient to my needs, but same effect.

couldn't work out how to add an actual image, but it's kind of sky blue, depends on the colour of the sky.

MTFU

the way i see it, if i get off and walk, the next time i get off and walk , it will be exactly the same speed, but if i ride it, then the next time i will be quicker, more efficient and practised.

maybe a nice brisk walk before an early breakfast, then on to church?

thomson stem, easton monkey bars and odi grips.

you can pitch the msr hubba outer first.

we stayed there afew weeks ago, it were nice. there's also a good restaurant in the village. the wensleydale heiffer. less than an hour to dalby.

i'm not stable.
(this apostrophe thing is complex)

gutted i couldn't do this, i love embsay.

such a shame there weren't two schlecks for all of this tour.

that prick made me vote,and i didn't like what the other choices were. i'd quite like to send him an invoice for my wasted time.

"never cry two tears in a bucket, f*ck it"??

"it's made of floor", brilliant. Now how to get someone to ask me what my floor is made of, although my floor's laminate, but i do have a table made of table.

i saw a mythbusters where they polished a turd. it came out, erm, shiny.
"in my humble opinion" is one i think is sh1t, generally said by people with very little humility.

is it this one?

"Cos kick a bow against a wow and bost it?"

My nan used to say this, and although i understood what she meant, i never understood why she was saying it.

i've done this a few times, it's nice. pork with fennel always works, either fresh or seeds.

i'd certainly support this.

no, ignore me it's not been built yet.

i think there's a sustrans track from st ives to bolton abbey that might work. that'sst icves in bingley, not cornwall.

i got one from "just riding along"

hagloffs vulcan. expensive but i think it will outlive me.

check out http://www.thechillijamman.com/ the one with ginger with cheese is ace.

i just looked up what serious means, and it can mean bad, i've not been on here long so i don't think i'm stw'er but i'm definately bad. and not in a bad meaning good way.

i had a frame done by triple s powdercoaters in bingley, can't comment on colour choice and packaging but he did a lovely job.

top few albums this year

scuba- triangulation
guillaume & the coutu dumont- breaking the fourth wall
efdemin- chicago

one of these would be my top album so far.

Here's an illustration – how many folk on here ride Specialized MTBs? And yet how many do you see out on the trails?

i'm obviously being stupid here, but i have no idea how many folk on here ride specialized, what do you mean?

@ jedi
that's how i manual, i just never realized it, top description.

although i'd still take a bladder to fill in the evening.

i would also just take one bottle and refill where i could, you could always get a water filter or steripen.

should have a look at cannondale caad9.

+2 for timbuk

if you take it as 3 500 m laps basically he would have to do the last lap in less than 6 minutes in order that the other two could have finished before he started it and not been relapped,so that would make him a pretty strong swimmer. if it's a total of 500m then yes they are all simultaneously drowning and anything is possible.

i think it's possible, swimmer three needs to be very slow in first lap then speeds up dramaticaly. i think he'd have to be a pretty strong swimmer though.
