661 kyle strait knee pads. Nice.

Ran the matador at innerleithen a couple weeks back on my core hardtail with 120mm up front n was still only a couple of bike lengths behind the guy i was following on an orange 5 (we didn’t hit the big 8ft drop tho).
Skills that kills.

38K?

**** hell, i’m in the wrong game.

This woman is a plonker n will probably be scared shitless for the rest of her measely life and won’t ever be able to go home or see her old friends and family because the “residents” of Dewsbury moor would more than likely string her up. That said tho, calling for her head is a bit much. She is a horrible person but is more than likely too thick to realise it, the tragedy of the matter is what happened to that poor young lass n how she will feel for the reat of her life. Oh, n she’ll end up back on benefits n on housing benefit so we get to pay for her to stay in hiding for the rest of her life. The System works! 🙄

Getting back on point-

Damn Gee! You berk, why’d you have to go and crash? Get well soon n all that baaaalls.

I had a bit of an epiphany a couple of weeks ago after crashing fairly hard and rolling into a tree. The best bit of advice ive been given is “spot your landing”, this really stops me stiffening up in the air (though i do get a twitch if its a nice jump 😉 ). Now jumps and drops are a big part of my ride and i am bleeding loving ’em! Want to get higher n start whipping. Big AIR!

mellow mellow mellow, whats all this then?

Congratulations to Wales, come on England give us something to cheer about!

Irresponsible dog owners will always be the same and think its someone elses problem to clean up. Without stricter policing of places, which won’t happen n shouldn’t need to happen, the irresponsible lot will continue to be just that.
Horse turd has got to be worse though, when on the ground that is, it can be strewn across a path or a nice steaming pile can be waiting as you come round a corner, unaware your gonna get a gob full of faeces as your front wheel goes through it and have it sprayed up your back as your rear tyre slops through the pile.
In killarney in ireland they have loads of horse n carts taking the tourists round n the horse bab was piling up in the street, literally. So they made the horses wear nappies. Might not be a bad thing to spread further round the isles.

I tend to see these being used by two groups of people- O.A.P.s and F.A.T.s
If your old and infirm fair dos, use one, if your a lazy fat tw@ then you don’t deserve help so put down the fork and get walking, might do some good.
I agree that there needs to be some sort of test or competence exam as they are becoming quite prevalent and a number of incidents have happened already. I frequently see the same O.A.P/ F.A.T (bit of a tough one to judge that) bombing up and down the pavements and not stopping or looking when she crosses the road, just bombs straight out, this has caused a few people to brake sharply and its just a matter of time before she gets hit or causes an accident and carries on oblivious leaving everyone else to sort out the mess. The access it gives peple is good but “just cos you can go there, should you go there?”

Get a riding buddy whos well into it and will get you out the house. I go to the gym (i know, i know) with a friend cos if it was up to me to go on my own i wouldn’t, id say to myself i was too tired or just couldnt be bothered but havin him text me n say “you comin to the gym?” gees me up to do it cos i dont wanna let hi down n theres a bit of competition as well which adds a bit of fun.
Failing that get some pot n go to the woods, things dont get easier but you dont care as much. 🙂

Getting pissed up and making plans to go riding the next day is grand. me n my mate went out to town one night n in the club at 2am arranged to meet at 10am that morning to go for a ride. didnt happen.

Bought it a few weeks ago. Class film, Guy is a quality bloke, he’s funny and dunt mind speaking his mind and ruffling a few feathers. Goes on about **** a bit though 😆
Good to see him getting grimy in his workshop wi his dad as well.

Bed em in n they last longer, theres another thread on here somewhere extolling the joys of bedding your brakes in.

at least they settle disputes with clean hands, not like the cowards who walk around wi knives and guns.

Gnarly

what a toilet

i think, IIRC, marriage was made up by the religions because the religions were made up by the tribal leaders way back in the day to control the people, before marriage everyone was humping everyone else and there were bairns popping out left right and centre and not enough food and reqources to go round. when the leaders saw this they though “****, were gonna run out of resources if we carry on in this promiscuous lifestyle” though it probably sounded more like, “ugh , no food, ugh, too much shagging, ugh, stop it” so the religions were created to control the people and marriage was created to stop folk going and putting it about all over the shop, one partner, less bairns(at least thats the theory). over a few years (say a few thousand) it has evolved into the wierd and wonderful thing that everyone is stressing about now.
in the end, if you love someone, who cares? just stick it to ’em 😀 ( but only if its consensual).

I see dead people

Margot James, the first openly lesbian Conservative MP, accused the cardinal of “scaremongering”.

She said: “I think it is a completely unacceptable way for a prelate to talk.

“I think that the government is not trying to force Catholic churches to perform gay marriages at all. It is a purely civil matter.”

So have a civil partnership (earthly bonding), not a marriage (heavenly bonding). You get the same rights but you don’t piss people off just for the sake of it. If people want to be homosexual that is sound, just dont expect to change something thats been a religious institution for the past couple thousand years just so you can wear a dress in a church before you get taken up the aisle.

cant folk take a joke?

I never said i was pretty!

Any one wanna play “Spot the mid-life crisis”?

Game ON!

Listen to the Jeremy Vine show right now n you’ll hear what plain wrong is.

Vinyl FTW. Much prefer listening to my records than mp3s ala ipod.
MP3 = convenience.
Vinyl = connosieur.

edit- 28yrs, it just sounds better, there is the ritual of cueing it up as well that is enjoyable.

59p per kilo of morrisons finest value oats.
Cinnamon and sugar OR banarnarnar to taste.

Nutrition wise there is minimal difference unless you count the extra vit d reddy brek has. Protein is 11.7g in both, and within a couple of g’s for fat and carbs.

Just depends on whether your a bit of a wuss or not.

Tatu?

And won!

Babys tend to smell of sick so i’d say no.

I did a similair ride wi a couple of friends from london to paris for the stroke association, brilliant laugh. It was in a big organised group with guides and support. The cycling part is sound, you don’t have to rush (unless you want to). I went in the slowest group and rode all day looking at the quality landscape and quaint little villages you ride through while the super fast roadies finished the days riding in a few hours then sat looking at their hotel rooms for the rest of the day.
Fundraising wise we did a charity market stall with loads of clothes and jumble on it, sold everything for 50p an item and made £500 in about 5 hours. Asking family and friends for sponsorship got a bit annoying, for all involved i’m sure! The fund raising is the hardest part as far as i was concerned.

Good luck Mrs Yeti and above all else, enjoy it. 🙂

Do you like peas?

Looking forward to recieving my newly subscribed to magazine through the post. I’ve been getting singletrack for the past 6 months and it just makes sense to subscribe IMO. The most unique mag out there in regards to mtbing and just the right mix of awe inspring pictures, thought provoking and funny articles and not too much tech and gear reviews but just enough for the geek in me.

Keep up the good work guys. 😀

Fair play to her for sticking to her guns i say.

Lets just nuke it all n go back to the stoneage. Everyone has nothing, no more arguments. 😈
