Went over to Lee cragg/quarry thingy with some new riding ‘friends’ a wee while ago. Just got over the moor using the newish pathway linking the two, sat down to wait for group for one lad to take out a gel neck it and proceed to throw the wrapper and declare ‘its lovely up ere innit’. To which I responded ’twas’ and picked up his wrapper………….not for one moment do I think that I’ve made an impression on him…..it didn’t seem to even register.. 😐

Q1. Yes been a couple of times

Q2. Yes. The more the better!

Q3 Only live an hour away but it would make me visit more often rather than for longer.

Q4. Not a major priority but a varied outlook is always nice! The shelter aspect could be the way forward though especially when a bit cold and wet, it is a bit barren oop ont’ops

Q5. Toilets would never go a miss. Also not over aesthetically pleasing but a couple of bins knocking about wouldn’t go a miss to keep certain areas tidier.

boooooooo……<puts pitch fork and flaming stick back in cupboard> 😉

“I’m pretty much always happy with my current bike. Then I fancy a change, and I’m happy with THAT bike. It’s a neverending cycle.”

I was happy until ^^ now i want a neverending cycle do they do em in 16″?? 😉

<claps> 🙂

Ooooooh that sounds like a challenge!! 😈
I haven’t been for a couple of months but it is V enjoyable

At the risk of sounding repetative……….Garage 😀

“As for the owners they attract, well yeah but it only takes one trip to Dalby to understand you can say this for many brands of bike, especially the expensive ones pulled off the back of a white Audi” 🙄

Orange 5 – tick
White Audi – tick
Doesn’t give a tick – tick 😀

Also just picked up Pinarello Paris that I’ll also stuff in or on the Audi I’m one ****ing a-hole!!!! 😆

erm………….what tyres would I need for this…..? 😳

Another for Morley!!
but ride more over Calverley,Esholt Shipley cos it gooder than Gildersome

She cooked stuff????…….nah missed that bit! 😈

Just got back from Gisburn…<stands to face the forum>…my first time 😀
Twas areet an all!

I’ve had no issues with veggie pads, though can get a bit sweaty but then again so does my back, my chest, my…………..I do! 😳

A3 TDI for work and to carry the 5 to and from gnarly runs that I need full body armour for 😀
VX220 na for when its not so cold and wet!

“And the new deal of the day is Orca compression tops £17!!! “

Will the spending ever stop?!?!?!

Ridiculous quick fix drive it with someone bouncing about in the boot or on tow ball if available to try free it………..if not then wheels off and fettle 🙂

Dogs make better gifts.

Mine struggles to hold a screwdriver and therefore makes cr@p gifts

I hope you asked Santa for some pedals as well! 😉

“That said I think Vortex Racing was selling a similar shock at a very reasonable rate on the classifieds. Yep, this is the one”

😳 Sorry thats now awaiting fitting to my bike!

I went to Negril 8 years ago and stayed near where the hedonism hotel is right on the penisula where it’s quite rocky the snorkelling was pretty good there…..small puffers, baracudas, snappers and plenty of other plus on an evening watching pelicans dive for supper from under the water was pleasant!! 😀
Its always a trade of though the other half didn’t dive or snorkel so insisted on a good beach…this obviously means poor snorkelling with expanses of sand and not rocks.
Aruba wasn’t bad again when you got away from the beaches, huge parrot fish eating the coral……….noisey gits!

If you can do 60 on a MTB then 100 on road wouldn’t be an issue fitness wise at a steady pace…………but……..it’s positioning that will cause you the problems esp on a bike that your not familiar with

Obvious this is only an opinion and I accept no responsibility for any of the above 😀

I went for a job interview recently and was asked what i think my greatest weaknesses are.I replied “well i often have trouble with reality; you know? Being able to tell whats real and what is a surreal idealistic formed in my head”.
“Very interesting” replied the interviewer, “what about your strengths?”

“I’m Batman” 😀

Christ how do you think I feel I ride a 5, wear plenty of padding (habit since riding with the boss who politely recommended I wore it!) and to top it off driver an Audi!! 😈

Oh and started play golf last year and keep the clubs in the car!!

A N Other one for Al @ Garage in Morley…only discovered recently and haven’t tried the coffee or the sweets…..yet 😛

<rubs hands>
There just so happens to be a 4 bed detached going in Thorpe Willoughby just outside Selby for not much 😈

As you move away from Leeds/York towards Selby it does get a bit cheaper, its mostly in reasonable commutable distance to Cas/Leeds/Wakefield etc. Plus the country side(ish) is not more than a mile away but yeah its better for road biking the biggest hill near selby is a railway bridge!!!!

My apologies in advance for this but………
When they need changing! 🙂

Disconnect the shock (only one end) and manually move the swing arm through its travel if rough change if not leave em!
sorry but this is all I do

Hopefully you have cured it with the above but I found that a different ie less torque on the bearing pivot pinch bolt sorted the creaking on my 5.

Balsamic and caramelised onion crisps
Guinness
and Bon Ivor

I picked one up last year….the lady behind the counter got up from her seat toddled off and come back with a paper and told me to buy the paper??? WTF??
All credit though there was a £5 off voucher in the paper that she promptly scan so cost me £25……now you don’t get that service everywhere!

…………..big bikes with Andy Pandy wanabees on board

Ha ha thats going to be me this weekend!!!!
Managed to borrow a TR450. Never riden a Dh rig before!!
Though the road bike and the 5 will also be tagging along but still its my first time <wheres the virgin smiley?>

Go with the chish and fips. Just taken the batter off the fish (I know the best bit!) its effectively then just steamed fish.
Plus it is Friday

Nah their more popular in Bi circles than the 3 wheeled variety! 😆

OOooo OOooo I’m going for the 1st 2 weeks in August

Been using the short sleeved version for just under a year, you can get pretty hot in them but its not unbearable. ^ is right about the chest pad but it has to be better than full amour in decent weather (if we see any!) but just enough for the confidence effect! 8)

Lets get back down to the serious stuff…………

Is it Dog Sh1t???
Just under the foliage above the blue part of the map? 8)

edit: ay Verses poo doesn’t begin with D or S but you still beat me to it!!

daysoftcontactlenses.com +1

They do a 72% moisture content which were comfier than the normal 58%.
The last time I ordered I think it was something £12 for 32 pairs not to mention the reduced packaging compared to the ‘big’ brands

Depending on price….hell why not!! 8)
So thats a may be then !!!

‘damn, managed to restrain myself since friday but just had to take a final quick peek and succumbed to a pair of matte black polarised twitch’
Ditto….just not the twitch tho!!

Another vote for Calverley and Esholt woods. I spend nearly every Sunday morning round dem der parts. Theres plenty of little tracks but over the river/canal in to Thackley there is a Jump park thingy and quick jump back over’t water there be access up on to Bingley moor/Shipley Glenn by’eck :D.
There is a reasonable loop that can be done through Fulneck/Blackcarr woods/Tong and to Post Hill (involving 3-4 OK pub stops!!) but I’m not available on 26th or else I’d would enjoyed showing you.
