Best size image I could find quickly.Sadly missed by all lovers of bike racing.

Ha, we got us a Convoy !! :D

Not dangerous as such, but when the log roll part is wet and slippy you can end up looking like a Creature from The Bog of Eternal Stench, and have to drive home with all the car windows open because your mate moans about the smell :oops:

Come on Leader set us this weeks challenge, you’re slacking again ! :-)

No problem coming to you, I’ll drop you a mail later. I think I must have the same navigating skills as the guys that do the MBR mag route guides, and we all know how
crap they are !

Sambob, just had a look at your directions, even with my numpty degree in Navigation I think I’ll get there! Sat nav will be on back up.

That’ll do nicely !

Sambob, I’ll be coming that way, drop me a mail ( in profile ) with your address, not a problem . I’ll get back to you when I get home from work tomorrow tea-time

Does this mean we get to see some shonky Bungee Bridges from NZ next week? 8O

I’ll second Johns proposal. :-)

Better late than never, Leader ! :D

I’m 5’5″ with 28″ inside leg and have a 14″ frame, so I would suggest going with a 16″.Get one bought!
HTH.

How about a nod of deference to the Pioneers of our Bridleway network, and have a Equine theme for next week?

Got a recipe for ” extra ” Ginger , Ginger cake to inflict on any willing takers !

I’m in. :-)

The two I get in the garden every night love cat biscuits, they get through 2 good handfulls easily, their water comes out of the take-away trays dotted about the garden,just seem to be the right height for them. Deffo no milk though..

Worth every drop of sweat for the amount of fun on the way back down. :-)

Martyn, thanks very much for the pointer. I’ve done the one at 7 o’clock, looks like I need to do your option and head for the old gate posts.
All roads lead to Tea and cake !

Can’t re-call the very old gate posts, of the top of my head, will give that way a good looking at I think.Just need to factor in a visit to Edale Cafe. :wink:

The last time I was by the Bus stop, the first part of that looked like it had been smoothed out as well?

Ah well,Thanks for the quick answer, wasn’t too sure which way to tackle it, if it’s an easy climb now, does that make it a fast(er)downhill?
I thought there was nothing wrong with it beforehand, far more interesting than just blasting down a smoothed out track. :(

Damaged/broken roads gets my vote for next week, just hope it’s not this windy again ! 8O

It might just be my addled taste buds , but the canned Hobgoblin seems to be a bit more malty/chocolatey than the bottled. The head seems to be a bit tighter though . I did use a clean , dry glass for this comparison ( off to get another from the cooler )

Great minds think alike ! The cans were just to see how much difference there is to a bottle. Give me an hour and I’ll report back. It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it in the name of market research .

I’ve still not quite wiped the memory of that last lap from the beer befuddled brain.Lurking in the tree’s so I didn’t have to do a full lap again before the time out.. :oops:

Hmm, left to right, or right to left ?

I did the 1999 MM ( IIRC ) as part of Team Norfolk N Chance .
Finished about 146 th I think. I did 6 laps on a Saracen Raw. Those were the days my friends ….
Edit.IIRC it was the first year at Sandwell Park.

Syncros FR for me. Sorry can’t post photo’s up from my phone.

I’ve had the Advantage front and rear on my ST4 for 12 months now, done stuff in the Lake District, 7 Staines and a lot of The Peaks, when they wear out they will be replaced with the same again, CNF.
2.25 BTW.

Due to me having to be on night-shift for the week of this full moon, this is as good as its going to get!Please forgive the battered commuter/work bike, but anything decent just gets knocked about in the “secure” bike racks.
And that is a full Moon showing between the flag poles, honest…

Nearly time for the ride home, tucked up in bed by 6.45

Just finished Dyno testing a W12 Bentley engine, 630 PS and well over 800 Nm of torque. That’ll do for tonight.

I’ve just nipped out to take a photo of the bike with a full Moon in the background for this weeks photo challenge. I didn’t realise how cold it is, certainly wakes you up enough to stop you nodding. Will be home in 3 hours though !

The 25-metre diameter radio telescope at Darnhall, Cheshire. It is one of the radio telescopes in north- west England which form the MERLIN network operated by the radio observatory at Jodrell Bank, near Manchester. MERLIN is a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) network which in effect forms a telescope with a diameter of 127 km, giving high resolution astronomical radio images. Since 1987, MERLIN has combined with radio telescopes at Cambridge and in mainland Europe to form the European VLBI Network (EVN), which in effect forms a continent-sized telescope.

Not much chance of a clear shot of the Moon until later in the week, cloudy skies forcast at night until Wednesday/Thursday.

Just checked mine, it’s a 770 . No problems in 2 years.
HTH

A few years ago, Louise Redknap walking a Bulldog in Delamere.

Clarks kits work well, also a lot cheaper than Avid.

Just one of the dozens of fantastic views available around Verbier.

Cheeky steps leading into Primrose Woods.
How about a Stellar theme for next week? No, not the bland Euro-Fizz :lol:,things like Telescopes, observatories etc.I suppose something like The Rising Sun if you get stuck :wink:

Just got home from Gisburn Forest, I’ve done the level 2 course with Ed O , a great tutor and very, very patient.
A well organised day, with good food at the Dog and Partridge, and the Pheasant Plucker is a really good beer.
All in , highly recommended.
HTH.
