I still say dogs poo em’

Post some dogs poo through the door of all neighbours who have wire fencing 😀

I have to watch the One show, got a thing for that Alex sort 😀

Did you see the clown down at Asda that hides from ugly people?

Up to 40% off Dahon @ Fudges Cycle store at the moment, might be worth a look?

Elise without question on every level, now buy one and lets move on 😀

Germans?

Seaman Stains?

They could be worth a look for the summer?

A, If the summer does come
and
B, If i have the fitness to do them justice?

The sales ploy works on me everytime, i normally just go for energy bars, recovery drink or similar, boring stuff but stuff you always seem to get through.

When you say ‘which one’ are you refering to the Cat or the dog to insure?

If you are i would say the Cat, i don’t like dogs 😀

I didn’t think you could get furious fred in 29er?

TSY, can’t believe you were stood by the A420, i went up the M4 to the Newbury jct then to Oxford on the A34, as directed by my sat nav.

And when i got to Nottingham the sat nav couldn’t find restless or the good titty bar!

Sat nav for the bin me thinks 😉

I thought people with smaller hands prefer pint glasses with handles?

Oh sorry, didn’t notice the Ribble discount excluded Endura, it said the discount was on 95% of items.

They sometimes do a similar thing and exclude Assos, which is annoying as well.

TSY, get back on the hot date before she falls asleep!

TSY i was going to drop you off then go to that awsome titty bar on that industrial estate in Nottingham (didn’t catch the name last time @ 4.30am)

Ribble and Primera do Endura, might be worth a look?

TSY, Im in Wiltshire, sober, i’ll pick you up on the way and bring the camcorder, we can get some flowers on the way from the 24hr garage.

Now that’s romantic?

bit less than that if you knew restless was waiting up for ya 😀

An hour!

What’s that walking?

TSY get in your car, you could be in Nottingham by 3.00

restless, leave a key under the flower pot

They don’t call me cupid for nothing!

I feel like a voyuer, should we all go and buy hats?

As xcgb said, make sure you have a back up, even if it’s just the vicar stepping in to help out.

Five years ago i was determined to be a pallbearer at my brothers funeral, thankfully the funeral director had an extra person on hand on the day as when i arrived at the church i needed my mrs to help me in the church, let alone be able to help carry a coffin.

My brothers best mate spoke on the day and he smiled, laughed and cried as he relived stories, none of which mattered as the whole congregation was doing the same along with him, if what you say is from the heart then there will be no problems even if you have to pause to compose yourself.

A couple of fresh hankies will be essential, my thoughts are with you for the day.

Will be doing it this year on my Niner Air 9 Carbon, 29er HT

Not done the event before so can’t say how it or i will fair?

oldgit, as an option on the 300k Corinium CC do an event which is on Easter weekend.

Starts at Cirencester and goes out to Daventry and back (roughly speaking), i did it in 2009, its a nice ride.

If you contact the organiser there is chance to sleep in the hall at the start (6.00am start) which can save on travel time/rest before the event?

Was thinking it may be closer to your geographical area?

In January i did 2 x 100km, and 1 x 200km

Missed out on the Chippenham Flapjack the other week through ilness, had been in bed for four days up til the Friday and somehow thought i could do 100km on the Sunday, only made 82km and bombed big style!

Got a 200km near Reading booked at the end of Feb, Im going to try for the ‘Year round randonneur’ when you have to do a 200km ride each month for 12 consecutive months.

Oldgit, which longer ones are you planning for your SR? as you need to do a 200km,300km,400km and 600km in the same Audax year.

Can’t believe you couldn’t find anything suitable at http://www.justridingalong.co.uk they made me up a fantastic pair or Stans Arch on Hope pro II hubs.

Yes, i think so 😀

Pedal on for me as well, i try and get up there whenever i can, and im about 45 miles away!

Bob in there is very knowledgeable and a really nice guy.

Hope….end of!

@ Rorschach

I could, but you are entitled to your own views and opinions.
I do however agree it is a case of paying alot more for those differences but if they make the bike what you want it to be then that’s better than spending less but ending up with something that doesn’t excite you to ride it?

Have you got a carbon 29er or are you looking at getting one?

Air 9 carbon with 100mm reba’s, a fantastic ride even on twisty technical stuff, the traction when climbing is unbelievable even with a crossmark on the back and when your on anything close to flat or fire roads you can just wave goodbye to your riding buddies.
Anyone that compares it to one of the cheap £300-500 efforts that are available really needs to look a little closer!

Can’t offer a steel comparison as it’s 20 years since i rode ANY steel bike!

If your looking at doing either longer Audax rides or rides at this time of year then something that you can fit full proper mudguards to is essential, and not race blade clip on style, i have experience of both!

Also if you can afford it look at titanium, i did a 200k yesterday on my Planet X Ti sportive, best thing i have done an Audax on.

If after all the talking they don’t see sense, we could post dogs poo through their letter box?

Just an idea!

Save up a bit more and get yourself a Niner Air 9 Carbon for your 22nd Birthday?

You wont regret it!

Anyone know where the video was shot at?

Alot of Swiss i heard 😀

I’ll get my coat 🙄

+1 for Merlin

If you use woollyhatshop you better hope there’s no need to return anything, Im still waiting for them to send a replacement 10 speed shifter which was faulty from new!

Sent it back on Nov 17th?
