Hi dpoints, I’m also in the lutterworth area. There really isn’t much of interest to ride in the area at all. There are plenty of bridle paths etc so you can string a route together with no problems but don’t expect anything taxing. If you’re going to drive somewhere you might as well nip over to Cannock for a blast.

Me too.

Fast scoping in COD multiplayer. If i come across someone doing it i make it my new mission objective to hunt them down.

I’m going to see the tour in Birmingham on the 7th and i am unbelievably excited!

Full on gingerness here.

Ginger OH as well…….Any kids we have are doomed!

that’s not a “good” thing on a shoot mind

Someone brought a dog like that once. It was lucky to make it home to his kennel that night…

Thankfully is wasn’t on a shoot :oops:

not nearly enough bona fido pheasant botherers on this thread

Ginny, so good a pheasant botherer she has started doing it when she’s not supposed to be!

I’ve used it a few times when servicing my Rebas and marzocchis and i’ve had no problems what so ever with it.

Also, it’s £6 for 500ml at Crc which i don’t find unreasonable and will last for loads services on my rebas.

I can’t imagine there’s much in it as far as durability is concerned? I’ve never had a problem with the HG61’s i’ve used.

The pg980 does appear slightly better but it’s £10 more expensive?

Decisions, decisions!

9 speed HG61’s are £20 at Merlin

We use one at work and everyone has been impressed by it since we’ve had it. In fact the only annoying thing we’ve come up with is that the plastic surround on the inside door handle/window switch is a bit cheap and naff and seems to highlight fingerprints.

What an amazing achievement. Well done Wiggo, Froome, Cav and the whole team Sky.

Errrr, well…..directions might be a little tricky!

It’s on the furthest moon orbiting the gas giant Endor in the Moddell sector of the Starwars Galaxy.

*Edit – Beaten to it by Cougar

Zero goblins.

….so far anyway.

Someone asking “Why did you do that for?”

fathomer – Member

Leicester, not much of note tbh!

How very dare you sir! There are hundreds of plowed farming fields in South Leicestershire just waiting to be ridden on…… :cry:

I imagine it’d be the same on most gps devices? I’ve been fairly happy with mine, once i figured it out anyway. Any probs pm me and i’ll see if i can help.

I’ve got one of these and it is a bit of a pain to navigate with but it’s doable. I don’t use Tracklogs so i’m not sure how that works, i use memory map to plot a route. When you plot a route you need to put a waypoint at every significant change in the direction, that way when you use trackview it will direct you to to the following waypoint and not just the end. The trackview view also allows you to change the scale of the map so i zoom it in and find it to be pretty accurate, enough to navigate with anyway.
If you use the speed meter view you would still need to put in all of the waypoints as before but you would need to change the name of the waypoint to give you an idea of what to do when you get there, for example change the name to TR001 instead of WP001 which tells you that you need to turn right at that waypoint other wise you don’t know which way to go for a few seconds.

I hope that makes some kind of sense to you? I’m not at home at the minute so i can’t be more precise without it in front of me.

The strokers on my Mmmbop don’t make a sound. Can’t remember whether they were noisy from the start though. Disk contamination maybe?

After my previous post i’ve just tried to login to my hotmail and it’s now been blocked due to the amount of dodgy emails. 8O

I’ve had my hotmail hacked this week, my contacts have been receiving emails from my account with a suspect link attached.

Different password to my stw login though.

I’m out of the loop. Is this a prequel to Alien?

It’s not exactly an Alien prequel as such. It takes place in the same timeline and universe but it’s about the Space Jockey/pilot things from Alien and the origins of human kind on Earth, so i believe.

I’ve been toying with getting one of those vitus bikes for a bit, i really like the look of them. The lack of disk mounts puts me off though.

Bit late but i’ll add my tuppence.

I bought some brakes from them Tuesday afternoon and they’ve just turned up now, an impressive 3 days later. I would certainly use them again.

No sweets though :cry:

Normal stuff you would take out on a decent ride! Navigation is pretty sraight forward, just follow the path or cairns. From experience i would advise some sort of knee/elbow protection as falling off on the rangers will involve you hitting lots of rocks.

Try and find some sort of basic breakaway training that includes rescue techniques (rib rubs etc) or whatever the local equivalent is, and as said before learn to spot the signs and get the hell out of dodge as soon as you can.

Krav Maga would be my choice if i was going to follow a structured path though. Also worth looking at stuff by people like Geoff Thompson for ideas as well.

Merlin also do a set of shimano 495 hubs on black disk rims for £49.95. They take centrelock disks though. I purchased a pair for my girlfriends bike and have been very impressed with them, so much so that i’m going to buy another set for my commuter/singlespeed.

Oddly i was considering posting something like this myself.

I’m also in south Leicester, so i’d be up for meeting for rides if anyone will have me, depending on work shifts etc.

+1 for My Neighbour Totoro, +1 for the warm glow.

It’s not exercise??? Hahaha. An hour trying to work a horse properly turns me into a sweaty, aching mess.

If it makes you feel any better most horse riders i know aren’t particularly fond of cyclists either.

Went up the the rangers path last sep and it took us about 2:30. I believe the Llanberis path is an easier route to ride but longer distance though?

Mine was clear/transparent and was very thin. However a quick read of the back of the bottle highlighted that they suggest the bottle is shaken before use. Which has resulted in a much thicker and milkier substance.

£20 for sky + BT line rental = a couple of pounds cheaper than what you pay at the moment but you sacrifice your unlimited internet. I wouldn’t.

14 to 18 miles depending on route. takes me about an hour or an hour and a quarter. It takes my OH around 30 to 40 mins in the car to the same place which amuses me.

i have about 15 chunk t-shirts, but they’re really cool so that’s ok 8)

Ducks are the way forward! :D

Because i’m ginger and the fact that we’re going to take over the world!

B or D

Benjamins – Yeah i know it was slightly off topic i was just pointing it out as an example, i was getting a little excited, sorry lol.

Bigbut – Having completed the course a couple of years ago i can testify that indeed a large chunk is geared to operating the machinery as you put it, but during my training just as much effort and training was put into identifying pathology and interpretation of images. A considerable amount of Radiographers can now report there own images without the need for a Radiologist to comment. The training nowadays is very much geared at the fact that there are a lot of opportunities post qualification that require you to be autonomous. The basic training now prepares you for this as well. In fact a class mate of mine who is only a couple of years post qualification has recently got a position as a reporting radiographer, this was mainly due to the level of basic training we receive.

Do you think that a Physiotherapist is only trained in how to run onto a football pitch and use the magic sponge?
