Ambrose I’m in Newport, think I’ll be driving back when you arrive

Staying opposite rhodos bar so local to the town

I’m around from the 2nd August with the family, missus and twin girls who are 7, who are very friendly and happy to play with other kids.

I’m taking a capra out this year and I’d love to ride with others as I rode alone last year and it’s OK but you have to ride Conservatively in case of a stack.
I’ve been riding over 20yrs and live in south wales so I’m not too shabby
Email in profile and I’ll bookmark this thread.
Hopefully see some of you soon
Dirtyboy

Cheers for the help peeps, will get the wife involved later on.

I don’t mind leaving the kid’s bikes chained up, but bit hesitant leaving my capra in the car

And it’s for a family of four if that helps, cheers Ian

just take wires off capacitor with gloves/pliers or discharge it by shorting it before changing it with mains power off obviously,can give you a bit of a nip otherwise.

if your remotely electrically competent you could go to a climate centre part of the wolsley group, and ask for a replacement electrics pack for a danfoss fr8.5g which would be a like for like swap

ask the question on refrigeration engineer uk group on facebook,ive got 26yrs experience in fridge/ac but i’m in south wales

always change capacitor and relay 1st otherwise your just burning money

Buy a copy of stickman the kid’s book and post it through the letter box

don’t think I’ve ever had so many responses, all taken on board but keep them coming,im really looking forward to it my cardiologist said i needed to build up to it so im going to try and do a few miles next week. ta DB

I should be quite lucky as I should be able to keep bike in a plant room
And there’s a fully equipped workshop for the maintenance section.
And obviously showers etc, I’m going to have to get used to getting up earlier as IL be doing 6-2 or 10-6 with some flexibility apparently

spoke reflectors and rear light purchased

I’m still awaiting my capra pro race aaaannnnd my xt m8000 11spd groupset I mean c’mon amazon prime exists

Waaaaaah! :cry: and i have a capra on order waaaaaaah! i dont wanna wait for nuffink gimme gimme

I too have heard that she has a “distinctive” personality from someone who worked with her

I’d say that they have loosened an intercooler or boost pipe by your description

Probably Mc solar or similar ilk, have you looked on BBC playlister

I want to work for you, that is all.

OI… DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A PARK BENCH… JOG ON. or something

Blur 4x seconded Hora

I’m a perfect example then, 42yrs old and had a heart attack whilst @ bike park Wales, critical illness insurance on my mortgage paid out 114k
Which made things a lot easier especially when I had been made redundant 2 weeks prior to the heart attack, handed control of the money over to my wife, as I’d of just spunked it up on gucci plastic bikes

I still have the scars from a previous argument with a tree whilst in les deux alpes, hence my hankering for cover

Thanks all
Went with snowcard in the end as they bothered to ring me after I mailed them, few exemptions about my ticker but covered if I have a fight with a tree in Morzine etc

im using current xt levers on m810 saint calipers and they are astonishing, and im 16 stone of chaos

It is classed as a life affecting condition I think so paid out in full, we were with LV insurance took about 8wks to receive payout, I’m only 42 never smoked. My wilderness years ended a while ago, I’ve got 3x stents fitted and on meds for the rest of my days

Yep me, at BikePark Wales 15 weeks ago, on the 1st chuffing run 35quid down the swanny, on the upside I did get 114k off my critical illness insurance

anyone??? im going to be a right duggie no mates…sniff

I will be taking my geriatric patriot7+ for its 4th trip to Morzine from the 20th of July im out there for 7days, its been updated and is great on the technical stuff, flat out open corners are very scary though, if anybody fancies meeting up for a spin let me know as im taking the wife and 6yr old twins so will be doing day on day off or early morning riding I guess.

Fight like a beast. Best wishes

I have an ice app on my phone allows rescuers to see a picture of me, a description of me my medication and allows the rescuers to dial designated people from the lock screen

Hi all I’ve had 3x stents fitted felt pretty unpleasant yesterday, but feeling better today

Hi all just a quick update, I’m still in hospital awaiting a spot on the cardiac ward, I’m in the medical assessment unit at present which is a bit chaotic but the staff are amazing and under immense pressures, I’m on anticoagulants and being monitored but I feel perfectly fine, thanks again for all the kind words and experiences and yeah I bought a lidl heart rate monitor from the bike forum to monitor my recovery. I’ll keep you all posted big love Dirtyboy x

Oh and I got made redundant 2 weeks ago so that hasn’t helped I’m sure, so if anyone is looking for a air conditioning/refrigeration electro mechanical gadgey With 26yrs experience and a bum ticker get in touch

Didn’t drink the night before, had a curry and light breakfast, just had an aching jaw and chest when I got to the tunnel at bpw, and couldn’t pedal for sh1t.
I need to change my diet and exercise more that’s certain

Don’t smoke don’t smash the booze any more 6’3 and about 15 and half stone, so I don’t know really

Thanks all for your kind words

Yeah the monster was just to get me a bit more revved up as I felt a bit lethargic
Definitely a lesson learned

No word’s, best wishes to you and your family
