london pride's very nice

I've just cracked open a bottle of this from Sainsbugs, so far so good;

+1 for sticking your boots on and leaving the bike at the bottom, well worth the walk, but not really enough of it rideable.

I know of a Miele Dishwasher that going strong still after about 18/19 years. Not bad going for a what was a house with 5 people for the first 10 years of it's life.

Trof in the Northern quarter is good too, they have a Sunday lunch menu, nice beers too.

Personally I'd like to see Bat for Lashes win, as she came second a year or two ago, but I reckon it'll go to Florence, which ain't no bad thing either.

Preview of the "Deleted Scene's" from the Bruno DVD extras

I'm not that local (about an hours drive away) but would happily test pilot it for you if times/dates are good.

the 'live feed' on the offical tour site is good, but not too subtle for work I guess

OS offer a service called OS select where you can select the centre point of a map, they do it in Explorer and Landranger ranges.

OS Select

that might cut it down to 2 maps I guess.

Friday is Crumpet day around here, a bit better than sausage and egg butty friday :?

it's the battle of britain memorial

I'd rather go up Cragg vale I think, longer but steadier, and there's less cars going up that way too.

Cragg Vale also holds the 'longest continual gradient in England' title too, so it's gotta be worth pub bragging points to ride up that way too.

My old 2004 Caldera. Gone but not forgotten as they say….

This makes me laugh everytime…

Planes, trains and automobiles 'pillow' scene

Well done guys, I'm back from that too now, Mossley to Old trafford, manc to blackpool and all the way back, 150.28 miles…. kerrrrnackered, but a fantastic day out.

Bit disheartening for the people on the other side of preston that keep seeing the numbers on jerseys of people going home again :-)

you can get a whole 3L backpack for £31.49….

woop, 38th, i’m very happy with that :P

Pics look great :-)

need to practice my ‘no effort being exerted’ face for the next event though.

Looks like I’m around that weekend, looking forward to it,

I’ve put in an early request for the weather like in Settle…

My Dad did it in 3:09, not bad for 58 :-)

Enjoy your debrief!

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

@muddydwarf, I think this is the next most local one….

Holme Valley MBC

yeah, it’s on a small sticker on sky routers too

Fastest time is just insane, I managed 2:37 and was really pleased with that.

great event, lovely cakes again. and a new mug for work!

cheers to all involved

this might be worth a look, depends what you call cheap though I guess

Herm is a Channel Island,

Wiki also says:
Herm, a type of sculpture, of classical Greek origin with a torso or head attached to a square base

north east – dovestones res, greenfield

If 20,000 people want their money back for an Oasis gig that they actually got to go too, and saw Oasis play at, how many people do you think will not try and get a refund for a concert that’s not going to happen? Everyone would be my guess

Some great pics guys, cheering me up on a monday morning at work. No aches or pains either which is always good.

stuck a post ride thread here….

Kate Bush seconded,

also “bat for lashes” Natasha Kahn is great

E: Spinach and Ricotta filled pasta and sauce, followed by chocolate raisins.

L: more of a watch, but just finished ‘Tropic Thunder’ which was better than I thought. now about to start some House

D: Bit of Vin Blanc with tea, now on lots of water ready for tomorrow’s STW ride

Looking forward to a piece of mrsflash’s cake if I make it all the way round :P

I rode the other day with great big flappy raceface DH shorts and a tight XC top. They were the only things clean so, what the hell.

Probably looked pretty silly, though.

Ha, I’ve just got back from a couple of hours on my ‘darkside’ dressed like that, old scruffy baggies too.

It’s about the riding not the clothing!

looks like I’m free this sunday, so I’ll be there. Looking forward to it after the Swaledale one.

Because no friday a&a would be complete without….

They’re different, it’s down to the cable routing/swing, check your current one to see which if any matches

added another link too in an edit :-)

this doesn’t look too shabby for £219, would do as a gym/pub bike

or this looks pretty cool depending on your local terrain.

yeah, keep a bag in the camelbak at all times, and they taste sooo good at the top of a big climb

you could try doing an image search on flickr as a lot of people upload hi-res copies that’d be ok for printing.

just do a google image search for ‘modified ford ka’ that’ll do the trick :-)

I rest my case:
