maybe its just a tradition here in Norway – i dunno – but its a gift yuo get the morning after getting married. I wont bother you with the gift i am supposed to be getting her.

I’ve told the SO to get me a new bike frame instead but she wasnt very impressed with the idea and she is kinda insisting on getting me a watch. I suppose she’ll want to have some soppy engraving in the back side of it as well.

just complaining about the (lack of) speed of this website

i’m doing the 150km loop. Far more convenient. and i fully intend to enjoy the rest of my time there rather than being knackered.

I’ve booked now cause the hotels are filling up and i wanted a decent place to stay in with the Missus

if it was invented today it would be banned. fact

west coast of Norway. I have Slartibartfast’s signature in my back garden

at least 150 quid per week for 2 of us. But here is in Norway and the prices are sky high

probably eat too much meat and a really good cut of beef can cost 40 quid per kilo

listened to some Bad Religion earlier

😛

Åre is great. Went last summer with the missus and dog. I live in south Norway and it took a couple of days to drive there. But compared to Norway booze is really cheap. There are loads of trails. and not just the ones up and down the mountain. If you drive out of town and head for some waymarked hiking trails there are some excellent day long routes

40 km round trip commute on my road bike

mine has just arrived in the arctic wastelands of Norway. Hope the next one doesnt take 2 years

also depends on if your job offer is permanent or a temporary position. you may struggle to get a mortgage on a salary of 430,000 NOK for a property in Oslo. I would guess on that sort of salary without any tax rebates for loans you will get around 21,000 NOK per month.

when it was clean just before the seat post got dropped and it got thrown down its first trail. brilliant bike

get a fixie inc instead. much nicer imo

yes

its like walking through treacle

just finished Dragon Age Origins – was excellent

and for a laugh i'm currently playing (half arsed) Lego Harry Potter

theyre chanterelles they are…bloody lovely

masses of flyagaric (or flysopp here in Norway) blocking the trails

am about 30 years too old to be bothered with them now though

Rouleur is pretty good and so is Ride. But i also like Urban Velo (which is a free download from their website).

Privateer looks pants…but then again so are almost all the mountain bike mags.

snus – very popular here in Norway as well. dirty dirty dirty habit

no

32:18 on my inbred

but its kinda hilly here in Norway 😉

i live in Norway and was gonna do so….but its **** lobbing it down and no sign of it stopping til sometime next year

has some juicy 7s on a bike for 4 years now. never needed bleeding and probably ridden over 5000 km

just thought i'd balance the negative stuff up there

went in 2004. Was excellent. "Dub side of the moon" was the highlight for me. Too many skanks though selling crap drugs

i'm with cougar on this one.

highly damaging to who? the current US administration will just blame the previous one. and to be honest there's nothing in here that people havent suspected before. I suspect that most people dont actually want to know all the details and would prefer to be ignorant of all the facts of what is a really really shitty war and are probably happy that someone else is prepared to take tough decisions and make tough choices.

as above – sounds to me like there's some oil or grease on the pads or disc. IPA the disc and sand paper the pads down a bit or replace them

cheaper than Norway though. i lived in Zurich for 5 years and look back with fondness at how cheap life was there compared to Norway. Binners: 3 pints sir that'll be a minimum of 21-25 quid in a crappy bar

i dont remember being 30

but 40….errr just about

i'm a little confused by your idea of environmentally friendly.

maybe you should investigate the manufacturing of carbon fibre and how "easy" it is to recycle

from a Dilbert

"Quality is my global added value"

Mark Chadbourn – Age of Misrule series and then the other 6 after it

bl00dy excellent

Jack Johnson

last was Melody Gardot
next is John Cleese

go on then. Here's another one of Sherlock with his favourite toy

and watch your food. Sherlock is a thieving little sod when he can get away with it. He especially likes porridge and blueberries

here he is a little older skiing with the missus

here's Sherlock at about 12 weeks. He's 2 yrs now and a fantastic dog. A total pain in the arse but great fun

went in 87, 89 and 2000

Husker Du, sleeping in my tent next to the car and some great acid

😛

2000 was shite, too many people, too many kn0bheads.

or grit in the headset….stupid comment i know…but one i sorted out awhile ago….**** annoying as hell

looks boring

go to Urban Velo website and download some of their magazines….

looks great fun

and you can make your own mallets or buy expensive ones from Fixie Inc
