Everyone else on itv4 are great. That pair are past it now.

Hugh porter and millar were great during the worlds last year. Hugh porter injecting the excitement with his tone and millar providing considered insight.

Ok I’m wading in

Spend has gone up under Gideon as it did under thatcher but is being spent on the consequences of their ideology- increased welfare to pay people to be unemployed. not on good stuff I.e. investment for the future such as infrastructure and training because you can’t have an interventionist industrial policy. absolutely not. no. Also much of that public spend is being transferred to a smaller and smaller number of private individuals.

Thatcher spaffed the North Sea oil legacy on long term disability payments to massage the unemployed figures.

It’s ok though as our house prices will inflate us out if public debt soon anyway. Nothing can go wrong there.

why didn’t Cav follow Steegman’s wheel as he piled past everyone?

cav said he went to early, i thought the same live, but in hindsight it looks like steegmans would have been the right wheel as it was a sprint that paid to be a front as it was surprisingly narrow and twisty.

i have to say i think veelers is playing silly buggers and got burned.

to be fair to stannard he is riding for two. his job would have been to ride on the front all afternoon jens voight style. thomas would have been the guy to get froome through the finishing kms but hes at the back with a broken pelvis. dont know where bossan hagen went tho.

Castelli nano waterproof overshoes? Not cheap though.

The old blue and red macpacs are v. Well built and ours has done us Proud. They’re now grey and updated so can’t vouch for those

What onza dog said. I looked into the exact same thing and was disappointed. Closest I got to was old 9spd saint stuff with a short cage but bigger tooth capacity than road stuff. No clutch though. Didn’t go through with it though as old saint stuff is still flippin expensive

Oh? Fair enough. Normally when things are different in Scotland it’s normally for the better except for life expectancy. Is there

Land registry search. It’s only 4 quid and can be done online.

was anyone else hoping to see a new steel bike from onone called the klaxon? :? walks away disappointed…

The trails were a teeeeny bit too dry last night in that a shooting access road up on the moor has gone from Regular gravel track to sandy mini beach with little windblown dunes. 8O It was too draggy. I needed a fat bike. :-) Oh and dry ground makes you go too fast and crash. But otherwise it’s lovely. Why do I have to come to work…

Where abouts are you? Costs really vary across country. BCIS is your friend. They cost everything. But at a very rough I’d start £860sqm plus fees (5% ?) plus contingency (5%?) and plus vat.

Pop – you’re quite right but look at it this way, we would have been deprived of an epic face palm collage

This thread needs more facepalm :lol:

Any such thread needs the following text from the dyfi website :lol:

Whats in a name? OK, so with the emergence events like the brilliant new Gravity Enduro series we are not, strictly speaking an enduro, because we do not include timed sections with-in the route. But, back when we started doing this there was no other event using enduro in the title, and, as a lot of the sections used in the Dyfi event are on motorcycle enduro tracks it seemed like a good name. Its been around long enough, we wont be changing it anytime soon, if theres a problem with that feel free to find a forum somewhere to vent your spleen.

nowt?

sorry, but as you said they are all online :?

99.9% bone dry, white and salty as far as Cambo yesterday. The odd frozen or slushy field run off to watch I out for but otherwise good bar the epic headwinds.

Ctd shocks are a questionable improvement and the forks are even worse but not had that particular problem, normally it’s just not enough damping

Oxymoron – too right, this has got me well excited

Freeridenick – need Location of all those pics now! ( please)

Sam, The fact you’ve used a niner, does that mean your forks won’t work?

Anyone any photos of a knardt in any other non krampus forks?

brickshelf. i believe that site is the reason the internet was made :-)

Uk’s only uci one day race and everything.

I was just going suggest the very same. Never done the gravel around there but the roads around Rutland are great for road riding just right amount of hills And twisty bits always thought adding in the gravel sectors would be good.

I think every stage last year was live on itv 4, even the vuelta was. If there was a clash with the ipl, tdf was itv4 Internet only. If thats not enough Steephill dot tv for all your road cycling streaming needs.

That’s a relief i thought this was going to be a roof rack carpark barrier interface anecdote. Of the 3 cannondale ftw. But all cannondales should be red or possibly Volvo blue.

hmm hadn’t checked the forecast. but this sunday is spoken for…

Do you guys not swim in pools that give you music over the tannoy wether you want it or not? Part of the pleasure of swimming is the unexpected bob Marley track in between the rihanna, david guetta etc.

No, staff who applied’ for a laugh’ is the cause of the crises ;-)
More seriously Robert pestons and the stephanomics blogs on bbc may give you enough clever answers to get you through the interview

And to think the top 10 posters used to get their names published in a league table in the magazine along with selected hilarity from the forum…

ive had 25mm gatorskins on on-one’s own brand 29r wheelset but it was tight, wouldn’t want to get them off for a puncture at the roadside.

There’s a tiny bit to be had around riverbanks but not much. big local scene of dirt jumping and bmx for this reason. There’s a few cheeky spots and a track up NW of town

Good grief! You pervert how is that fun? Good luck…

ooh! ooh! can it be a verb too? :lol:

conjungate the verb to jizzfridge:

i jizzfridge
you jizzfridge
he/she jizzfridges… and so on

2 pages in and no back to the future??!

‘roads? where we’re going we don’t need roads’ ahhhhh [/nostalgia]

and leave ferris buller in the past, watched it recently and its not as good as you remember it :(

project – i think you probably lost them when you called them plebs :D

he has a teeny tiny bit of fact on his side:

(generalisation alert) London and the SE are the most productive in terms of GDP certainly. Thats becuase it has more more-productive sectors (as defined by economists) such as fiannce and business services where as the north has more less productive sectors such as manufacturing.

BUT

You could question whether we should infact value the producutivity of finacial sectors differenty given the mess it has left us with in the last few years. This governemnt once talked about rebalancing the economy back to manufacturing but i wont hold my breath.

Also, it has not always been like this (e.g. 1870s textile industry manufacturing in manchester, ship building in NE c. 1900s) places rise and fall.

Also, The headline figure also masks huge inequalities within london and the SE.

In terms of subsidy, it is open to arguement who puts most in and gets most out. the North has a higher spend on benefits and welfare, but the south has higher spend on transport and infrastructure, arts, musuems etc.

It could be argued that with a london mayor and devolution in wales and scotland, there are very powerful voices speaking for anywhere but the north, midlands and sw. And that the economic potential of the North, for example, is supressed because of this lack of voice at a national level.

edit: so it nothing to do with working hard or not, see also ‘path dependance’ :-)

spooky, which ones are these then that fit the 18650, got a link?

Teesside is within Cleveland but straddles north Yorkshire and county Durham.

Cx rocks. Neccl rocks. 10 quid including day lisence. Seemed a small field today. The fronts normally 21 yr old skinny off season roadies but they didn’t seem to be out today. but respect to singlespeed winner. I stole a place from a lovely blue traitor single speed on the last hill after drafting him half the race. like a real man. Yeah.

Is the engineer here yet? It’s nearly 9

Michelin dry2s! Thought they were great until I woke up on Walna scar road with a broken wrist and bruised ribs. Not trusted since.

Fast = non sticky tires, paying for kevlar bead, good bearings, light wheels, knee pads, practice and riding with people who are faster than you
