anyone?

thanks tomzo, a sensible answer in a world of sarcasm 😆

if its the bar or helmet mounted lights i cant say, if its the torches 2 batteries in 2 batt charger can take a good few houes and the leds on the charger go from red to green when fully charged. for either torch or light set dont let them fully discharge, recharge them after each use.

Fuel will go up over time anyway, however im not worrying to much about any large increases in the next six months, Gordon might not be a rocket scientist but he aint so stupid as tp put 15p on a litre just before the election (but dont hold your breath after)

monday penmachno was cold and clear, odd patches of ice and snow all ridable

down there lunchtime, road a bit slushy but quite safe and well gritted. About 2ft off snow in places, good sledging!cafe open

Rode Penmachno yesterday all very rideable with the odd bit of ice and snow and plenty of cold water! Im an hour east and its snowing here now and forcast to last all night same for penmachno with rain tommorow.

One thing, half way round loop 2 the trail now splits, and currently there are no signs. I went left – FAIL i think you need to go for the right fork.

i work with a Jo King

thats a point, im a 43 but got 45s in the MW80, nice thick socks, toasty! Oh and just to be smug got mine last year and talked the local LBS into letting me have em for £85!!!!!!!!!

i think the true indicator of just how dire things are is the fact that the best thing so far was a repeat of the morcombe & wise xmas speacial, now thats funny.

MW80s here to, nice and warm but if its raining and youve not got waterproofs on they still get water in them but they stay warm. same goes for any make mind.

Penmach bit overgrown in places but otherwise OK. Llandeg middle black is closed due to trail building but diversions in place. I believe the center was closed but should be open again now

try the dropouts 1st, mine was creaking like a bu##er, regreased them – silence!

aP, no mate V70/S60 all volvo design, V50 on the other hand is a Ford Focus in volvo clothing

watch the X factor instead of go for a night ride….what the hells the matter with you man RIDE YOUR BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got an S60 (saloon version of V70) excellent car, smooooooooth drive go for the diesel D5, 185 BHP 144 top speed still get 40 – 44 mpg wouldnt even like to think what MPG youll get on the petrol version. main thing is service history.

'It is not yet confirmed whether every bike found at the farm was being stored unlawfully'

but police have arrested a 49-year-old male from Blacon on suspicion of handling stolen goods'

from Blacon – good chance they were stored unlawfully err nicked then

that is why I love this forum lol 😀

bit thin this week any more?

.

had a set of 5s for 2 years with no probs at all, damb tempting fate there

Im with fivespot, theres lots of posts on here slagging off Llandegla and they must be right about it being such a bad place as its regularly packed to the rafters!

As many other posts have pointed out, the place is as good as you make it, ride it fast and your on a winner.

OK so some of its closed, so use your head and get out over the moores.

rant ends 😆

yes

get a twelve volt lead acid batt, 20 watt, 12v MR11 halogen bulb, switch from maplins, mount lamp and switch in suitably sized deoderant can and hey presto! excellent light used every winter 4 3 years. only stopped using it when got a set of DX torches last year. Cheap as chips to.

get somat cheap for the bars to use on fire roads and i used to get about 2.5 hours out of it

18 when I got it, flu like symptoms, very very itchy, as above spots everywhere and I do mean everywhere!

I've got the torches and the charger for it goes green when fully charged

another sealskins are c##p skool of thought here, best bet shimano MW80s or similar, if you cant then decent overshoes, they prob wont keep you dry but your feet will stay warm

dealextreme every time, i've got two 900 lumen torches and they are fantastic. Sturdy as well, as show when the 1 id zip tied to my stem came off and went bouncing down the fire road 🙄 , bit scratched but still working a treat didnt even crack the lens 😆

anyone?

id still go and ride if i could but im consoling myself with the knowledge that its started pi##ing down again!

I def agree about the not caring what other people think about your looks, I used to be really self concious having a pretty big hooter and matching ears!! But then I realised if someone else dont like em thats there problem not mine, and hey I can get sky for free 😉

being stuck in on a sunday playing with the kids

weekends away riding in scotland grrrrrrrrrreat!

thursday night riding

driving my volvo S60

not sure if it'll be a roast dinner but of to me mums later for sunday lunch….loooooovely

oldfart,

Im 41, complete fluke i found out, wife is radiographer and just scanned me 'as practice' 🙄 . Must admit didnt mention it to speacialist as wife had already said not a problem, just dont ride anything to stupid! Joggings definately out due to the dodgey right knee, dont you just love getting older 😆

£15 for a pair of regatta walkers overtrousers, used em for the last 4 winters dry as a bone and not that sweaty, winner. Just re proof them at the start of winter and your laughing!

I've just been diagnosed with osteoperosis, and I've never been what you'd call an MTB god but I've just come back from scotland where i rode just about all the big stuff (bottled the slab though 8O) Its got to be a combination of being sensible and going with the idea that your gonna do it but most of all do it cos you enjoy it!!

ta

,

shimano mw80s toasty and dry, you cant get any better for the money.

it might well be cheaper to administer and if your on £150k I've no doubt youd be laughing but if your on £15k probably doesnt look like such a great idea! As for tracey emin the sooner shes on the other side of the channel and conning the french into buying her cr*p, sorry art the better!!

not forgetting the cheapskate option – ALDI – if you can find one. 😉
