    I did it with a mate a few years ago. Almost binned it about three quarters of the way through when I slid off on a wet chalky descent and put a nice little hole in my hand. Decided to carry on and finish. I found the hardest thing was the tedium. I wouldn’t do it again.

    The greater crime here is using ‘then’ when you mean ‘than’.

    You’re (contraction of you are), your (possessive).

    Why didn’t you report the first incident to the police? It’s assault.

    Caerphilly Council simply don’t want it there. The Forest Drive costs them too much to run. Very convenient that the felling machinery is destroying the road. I’d put money on it not re-opening.

    Don’t bother. Pretty much all of the Twrch is closed. You can’t even get to the top on the road. IMHO very little reward for a lot of climbing on Cafall.

    @tdoyle I can sort some out. It’s a bit scruffy but it’s straight. I downsized to a 16″ 853. If I sort out some pics we can negotiate price.

    I’ve got an 18″ PA frame I’m looking to shift.

    What a thoroughly disgusting excuse for a human being LA is. Just as shameful are the liars who covered up for him, obviously some in very high places. Good on the those who stood up to him, especially Betsy Andreu.

    Yes. Did the job for touring. Wouldn’t use them for anything else.

    Retailers shouldn’t make bold statements unless they’re prepared to honour them. At some point someone is going to take you at your word.
    ETA I’m definitely with the OP on this FWIW.

    I’d have thought the onus is on them to explain why they won’t honour what is clearly stated on the paperwork which they gave you when you received the goods. 14 days to respond then start legal action. All correspondence in writing and signed for on delivery. Might be worth speaking to CAB or ‘Don’t Get Done Get Dom’! ;)

    As above, sports physio and core strength exercise routine. Worked for me.

    At 4.17 and 5.20 he actually says 999 but it’s been dubbed over with 112. Good info all the same. I put Echo112 on my phone after watching the vid of that guy bleeding out in the Alps.

    I believe the actual rule is that first to the obstruction has right of way

    I thought that if the obstruction is on your side of the road you give way.

    If you’re wondering why they didn’t build a second DH on the same hill as the first one, … somebody should have asked that question several years ago when they built Y Mynydd

    It was a question of land ownership. The old Pedalhounds DH was never officially sanctioned. Obviously a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to get these new trails built. Well done to all concerned I say.

    Could be a touch of Achilles tendinitis. Anti-inflammatory and ice.

    And what happens when she kills someone next time? She may be driving with defective vision or a medical condition which means she shouldn’t be on the road.

    You should be able to jump on the odd uplift for £4 a time, depending on how many vans they’re running. We did weekend before last. You just pay the driver. I’m sure you’ll consider it once you’ve done the climb :?

    Strange that this article makes no reference to whether the rider was wearing a helmet or not.

    So what do the ladies think of Darcy Turenne, who wrote directed and starred in this little skit? Is she also part of this ‘casual sexism’ problem?

    I’ve just received a replacement mobile phone battery from Amazon via RM. Big sticker on package says “CAUTION! Lithium Ion Battery DO NOT LOAD OR TRANSPORT PACKAGE IF DAMAGED For more information, call….” I have to send it back, so I’ll see what they say at the PO this afternoon.

    I have a girls’ Trek MT220 which I was going to advertise for sale. Let me know if you’re interested.

    I wouldn’t bother. Did it a few weeks ago. Diversions in place which spoil the flow and the signage is rubbish. I’d drive another half an hour and go to Brechfa instead.

    And it’ll have a coaster rear brake as all American bikes have those.

    King Arthur’s Labyrinth[/url] near Corris. My kids loved it and you can pick up some ‘interesting’ items in the leather goods shop at the craft centre.

    I have a Marz 66 & 888 plus a shonky old pair of Fox Talas that I need to get rid of once I can be @rsed to advertise them. Ooh, and a very tired Z1 FR.

    Recommendations? Take lots of bug spray and the biggest lock you can find. As above, not much to fill a weekend.

    I once shared a télécabine with ‘Sick’ Mick Hannah. I think his balls were OK. They’re definitely bigger than mine.

    BTW, it’s ‘Gee Atherton’s balls’, as they are the balls belonging to Gee, i.e. possessive.
    Sore not saw, one is painful to the touch, the other is a tool for cutting things.
    Specific not pacific. One is concise, the other is an ocean.
    Espresso has already been done.
