The weather forecast today in Iraq

Sunni in some places & Shi'ite in others

sounds like a grand day out so count me in 😆

would a slow old fattie be able to cope with tagging along?

Hmmm not sure you want to ride a tag-along on the Q's 😉

mine cost 10K 10 years ago without the electric double door (2K) 🙂

Quantocks?

I know what you mean Matt. I've lived here for 20 years but only been riding XC for the last 5 years. I used to drive 15 miles to Dartmoor to go riding, but I've now found a cracking route starting from my home. I can do anything from 7 to 25 miles with some cracking singletrack, river crossings & downhills 😆 plus some lung busting up hills too 😕

Starting & finishing from home means I can go out for a half day morning/afternoon ride & still have time to go out with Mrs CB which means brownie points all round.

as michaelwright says lodge your claim with the administrators & maybe you'll get something back but don't hold your breath.

top of this list is the Tax man

HMRC are no longer preferential creditors in bankruptcy cases they join the list like everyone else….

……… buy shimano next time 😉

Altura attack extreme 3/4's – 3rd the recommendation.

even Mrs Cb knows what this means…………..

a tube of no-nails………… job done 😉

forum name – not too big a surprise then…………

real name – a pic off FB with specs appeal…………

not that close to Exeter but you might want to give Certini bikes of Saltash [/url] a ring as they have in the past run 29er demo bikes 🙂

well done reluctant! it's always great to help someone to pop their 'posting pics cherry' cos it's e'fing frustrating as I know only too well when I first tried……….Grrrrr.

Personally I now open the pic in flickr & click on 'all sizes', right click on the picture & then click on 'copy image location', click on 'IMG' on STW & paste details 😆

cheeky maybe but hardly offensive, it's not as if he facing this way

Here you go reluctant……… 😀

I used this without the space before the second bracket & after the third bracket

you might also want to be very careful when putting in your 'admin' password on the PC when Miss 40mpg is around.

It's surprising how quick the little angels pick these things up & before you know it they are in charge not you 🙂

Dry & sunny here in Pastyland but the wind is blowing a gale – I'm glad I went out riding yesterday morning instead 🙂

is this him??? 😉

single ply

dual ply

HTH

Wow – you certainly live up to your Mad name Bill coz that Dartmoor loop is a stonkin epic mate 😕

The BW between Peter Tavy & Bellever via Cocks Hill 😉 is an absolute bog-fest and would probably be more of a hike-a-bike than a ride. I hope you have a camouflage colour bike too cos you do realise that the route goes through the Merrivale MOD firing range – in coming!!! – the last time I was up at Princetown they were in fact live firing on that range.

I agree that the Sherberton farm to Whiteworks is another bog-fest. The route is a series of posts marking the way if you can find them & the streams can be very 'interesting' to get across especially after some rain.

To be honest I have ridden fairly regularly on Dartmoor & I wouldn't want to undertake your route – Sorry – I would stick to something a bit more rideable rather than trying to go over the open Moor which is a nightmare.

Braindead

they soon will be …..

a mate contacted Park Tools direct in the USA & explained the problem with the pin & they sent him a new one FOC……. might be worth an email?

not a PCSO

Fake bacon?

Quorn Copper?

Hobby Bobby ?

EDIT: Bu55er beaten to it by Trimix…..

the conversation morphs into "you're spending too much time riding your bike"

fancy having a go at your missus & her riding 😉

just tried the site & I can get in OK 🙂

No, I agreed with him last night.

that's a sure way of getting banned by sfb 😉

Genius @ work 😀

😆

How many has he won now?

9 world titles
7 in the Premier class 500/Moto GP
1 x 250cc
1 x 125cc

No worries RD here is the pic mate …………

Or water proof shorts?

Correct.

Where's cheapest for the Smart one at the mo? Got one for the missus a while ago and it's very good

after a quick google Wiggle £10.49[/url]

Altura Attack 3/4 shorts are great & do a good job. I'm well happy with mine.

Smart 1/2 watt – you really can't go wrong with one of these on your rear believe me you will get noticed.

tickle?

How about Haldon forest, I'm reliabably informed that up there is the best descent in the SW 😉 which has got to be better than some manicured trail centre 😥

turn it off & then back on again 😉

Oh I don't know, some of those pebbles are huge

Lol @ Trailmonkey 😆
