have my 3rd attempt at a sourdough loaf fermenting on the fridge overnight….ready for baking tomorrow… I have cut down a great deal with the water to the reciepe, I now have a firmer more workable dough this time…. will get some pics posted up of the baked article whence it’s goose has been cooked….:-)

Nobeer: the bannetons will possibly take about 3 weeks or so to arrive. (am still waiting), I also bought 2 off Ebay…..they took about 10 days to arrive….(use topcashback)
Thenorthwind: yep, I do all that stretching and folding for my breadmaking, I will cut down on the amount of water for my next attempt…

cheers…I just can’t do nowt to shape the loaf before baking….it turns out pancake shaped…..LOL… and I bought to bannetons from aliexpress… complete with linen covers and LAME’s to slice the top of the dough…

NBITF good effort buddy…would you care to post the recipe on here….. all recipes that I have found on the tinternet have far to much water in them… makes for a wetter sloppier dough that can’t be shaped properly by myself…. have made 2 sourdough loafs now and kinda getting better…… I have no hassles at all when using instant yeast though…..LOL

I’m 63 and still riding the trails and downhill tracks….I have busted numerous ribs and bones over the years….I was once asked by an elderly lady at the top of Fort William downhill track “sheesh Lad, are you not old enough to know better?” , I replied with “Yes! but i’m still stupid enough to do it!”.

It’s all about how you feel when you’re out on the bike, do it cos you like and enjoy it, not because a phone app tells you you need to go faster and harder at it… do it for the craic…you’re not there to impress anyone. 🙂

wish you a speedy recovery buddy… and stay safe , listen to yourself and not your body…. 😉

there is a layby close to the Terminal if the Stena car park is full….and remember that Stena charge for car parking…

the 30 min HIIT session kills me……I use Tabata timer on my android phone to keep things spot on… well worth the cost… https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en

Guitar arrived today…. action was spot on as was the tuners and the finish of the guitar.. all I had to do was set the intonation on 4 strings that were slightly out of kilter…. lovely instrument to play…. far superior to my 2007 Yamaha Pacifica 012

aye, can do a quick setup and intonation, Grover tuners already fitted… may swap out the saddles for a rolling saddle…. see how it plays outa the box…. bone nut is a cheap enough replacement…. looking forward to receiving the instrument (ordered it yesterday and the order is still showing as open, even though the webpage stated immediate availability….LOL)

I have been swotting up on the high end brand guitars needing some kind of setting up as well… 😉
at the price of a Harley Benton it’s a decent platform to work with…

I’ve had an older version of the Tranya bluetooth earbuds for over a year now and they are brilliant..can’t fault them and they do not move regardless of what gym exercise I’m doing

I can’t see how they can label the shredder as an introductory dh track now, as they have raised the take off lip on the road gap by about 2.5 feet and increased the landing point, also added more larger doubles (where I have witnessed bikers actually casing their landings), to me it’s an accident waiting to happen that will catch out the inexperienced bikers…… this is just an observation and not a whinging auld git sounding off….LOL

I’m heading down to Ae this Sunday for an uplift… should be interesting riding the DH tracks with no trees on them… been 3 years since I last done an uplift down there

diversions at both Mabie and Dalbeattie… https://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/activities/mountain-biking/7stanes

killing the charm of the old original trail… making it more bike parky these days……..am heading down there at the end of the month for an uplift day…. see then how much more pedally the shredder is on that day….. 😉

you can park the van up overnight free of charge at Kirroughtree or Ae forest… Gem rock museum is just down the road from Kirrie which is worth a visit, as is Clatterinshaws forest park… enjoy your visit… always handy to hook up with a few local lads if you want to ride some off piste trails…..

don’t talk, just build….. 🙂 🙂

both Kirrie and Glentrool are open with no diversions…. visit the 7stanes website and download and print out trail maps…you can check for closures closer to the time of your visit https://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/activities/mountain-biking/7stanes

Robert Hazard- girls just wanna have fun

61 past back in August….. booking a trip to Fort William downhill track for May of next year… looking forward to the adrenaline rush……. “old enough to know better but still young enough not to give a ****”

Life’s for living…. so live it….. 😉

remember the day well, just your face I wouldn’t be able to place nowadays…LOL… and all that natural off piste down at Kirrie is all gone, though some new sections have sprung up since then,…..was down at Kirrie with Trekster back in April…..

he still has a few up for sale….. A 2018 Vitus and a ragley pig….. he can’t even ride the bikes at all now….

you mean supafly? the lads health took a bad turn for the worse, he is in a great deal of pain and can hardly walk now…

I used 2 bolts either side when I built my stand….. still using it in 2018 🙂

how about Nano-Evo  https://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/nano-x-evo-pedals.htm

I prefer to think along the lines of ” there is no such thing as a bad trail center or bike park, only a bad state of mind”

The main thing is that we are out on our bikes getting fitter…and enjoying the craic with yer biking buddies… 🙂

My old 2004 Rocky Mountain Blizzard…

what about this one.. I use it for building multirotor drones… heat gun is good as well… you may have to purchase separate soldering tips though.,.
