Here is pretty good, massive room for social stuff and a good kitchen plus in the large building the sleeping is separate. resonable riding near by as well 😆

yeap got the same response but was given the pills as a precaution seems to be clearing the welt up not quite as hard or hot………………..hummm sounds a bit suss that last statment 😯

Ridethelakes where were you at to get your reactive bite??? got one as well last week after some grizedale exploration, getting lost, got the antibiotics now and the bite seems to be quieting down looks grim though and itches like ****

Reet back from the docs, looked at my leg listened to my story asked if I was worried if it was lymes I said yes prescribed Erythromycin, not OrganoPhosphates, so thats that then. Starting to feel a little bit sick now but could just me making that up………… lets hope nothing more comes of this.

Sam

Picked them up riding in grizedale, well we got a bit lost and ended up following deer trails, so kind of the worst place for it really. Some pretty good single track though just non of it linked up to anything so there was a fair bit of pushing through bracken which at this time of years asking for it.

Ho Hum lets just hope I'm being paranoid hey

OP bath of HA

right appointment made finger, toes and eyes all crossed

Fig rolls, Jelly babies, Malt loaf, Yorkshire brack plus at the moment salty vimto…………………………….. the lasts not that nice really but seems to work

really depends on where you are staying, wouldn't recommend the north face on its own but can be really good for linking together the bridle ways with in the forest.

Second Crazy-legs suggestion of asking at biketreks or if your up Keswick way KMB, you can't beat a bit of local knowledge.

The route that you are suggesting is testing to say the least but all depends on what your looking for really and where your based.

" The glossy bitch " its a zesty and was named after a shrew covered in kitkat wrappers used to storm the African savannah. Plus my mates told me it was a tarty bike and its definitely a she as previously mentioned because its French.

Hey,

Similar experiences with the headset and Bottom bracket bearings on my Zesty replaced the head set one's which had rusted to pieces with normal Cane creek ones and they have been fine for ages. The bottom bracket does get stiff if the bike is stood for any length of time but seems to sort its self out after a few turns of the cranks. I have started to put some grease around the seals but that's more to make me feel like I'm doing some thing about it.

there was a roscoe in the window at the edge cycle works in Lancaster not so long ago think it was there for about 1300??? could be a bit out on the price but it looks like an ace bike.

Hope that helps

Martin,

not broke anything for a change. Putting new cables on the other bike as its shifting like poop at the minute.

if I can borrow yours that would be great.

fingers crossed for the weather.

oh yeah MM int it

Orange 5!

Spesh Purgatory 2bliss 2.2, they do have fairly thin side walls but you should get a good year out of them? well I do

hope that helps

I am by no means an expert on this but can offer my own experiences.

For over two years I rode in only wind-proofs a Montane tiny wind-proof and in the colder weather a Paramo wind-proof, both of these were reproofed regularly to maintain there water repelantcy. In the warmish weather they were both fine when wet as the massively reduced wind chill and as long as you continued to work do a great job of keeping you warm BUT you will get wet in them.I never had a problem with this until one night ride it snowed heavily and then when I got lower down started to rain I got cold first because it became hard to ride and I was no longer generating a lot of heat and then got very very very wet and very very cold. After this I bought an event shell jacket which I have put a few holes in and repaired with patches. It has been great is super tough and much warmer in cold weather than the Paramo wind proof. It wasn't cheap but will be repaired properly by Endura very soon.

Sorry for the ramble hope there is some sense in there sam

here [/url]really nice spot never lets it get over crowded and very family friendly…………. they wouldn't let me and my girlfriend on last summer because we had no kids?

never had a shock pump with a bike??

should I have??

Wonderful,

Thanks for that

Aye!!

Another bought of praise for the 'down your local' bit made me go off exploring last night on the way home from work and find loads of really steep wooden steps………………………which I had to carry the bike up! this does mean that next time I can try them the other way round though.

Cheers guys for the Mag really enjoy it and also enjoy reading the posts from all the haters, it makes my working day a little more interesting

🙂

oh thats sweet.

Know exactly what you mean though when I got the Zesty it lived in the dining room for ages just so I could have a look at it all the time plus it was cleaned after every ride, I even polished it once or twice.

It'll look better once its had a bit of off road love any how.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its green

Really like it Neil 😀

look forward to seeing it in the flesh, steel whatever

PS liking the seat post comments

Hey kel,

didn't know you were up this end of the country. Its a possibility but am ment to be picking up a shed for the allotment and laying some flags as payment for it……………….. You riding round there neck of the woods? Really want to check out crag quarry flew over it the other week and it looks interesting.

Hey Kel,

Just changed to 22 32 and a bash. you get all the gears you'll need for the five, plus loads of clearence.

Works great for the lakes even for end of a ride road home sprints and the like.

Properly glad the big rings gone 😀

Alva Noto 'For 2' Glitch tastic mate

Yeap!!

not every ride but sometimes its just nice, don't know what it is but really like sitting in the van and smoking a rollie, its the only time I have a cig now as well. Plus I've a few mates who are the same when we are camping

one hour twenty left

and the suns still out

COME ON 😀

Cool weather and sun…………Lakes tonight 🙂

What Simon says, it was also my first…… 🙄

no probs,

I went flying past it on Saturday and then was followed by the rest of the group.

Rangers starts on the opposite side of the railway from the summit cairn staircase thingy. you can make out the trail easily on the ground, be warned though it was busy this weekend so could be very busy next.

enjoy

Mr mills, rode this route at the weekend.

Its a bridle way it is marked….just there a re two planks of wood in the ground and a small marker post and is really easy to miss. it was about 100-200 meters after the second gate at the bottom of the massive techy ranger decent half way down the section with all the slate water bars.

Cheers,

had been googleing four4 but just getting house music results. there the ones thanks

was after elbow not knee any how so shouldn't be a problem.

looks like they could be the ones then, they are going to be used very rarely but it can be reassuring just to know the option is there. Be prepared and all that.

AGH mate that sucks,

Probably no help at all but I was looking at a ragley MMbop a few weeks ago and I want one. Think they size up pretty large, not sure if its easy to single speed and it may not be super practical.

but there you go,

Happy shopping

try Biketreks[/url] they may have one, worth ringing them as well websites still v new.

Alpkit jeanius

normally trash my jeans with in six months but have had a pair of there originals for nearly two years now…. there great and nearly technical clothing as well

Simon,

agree with all of the above but unlike yourself my bike is also something I bought as a desire object, much to the detriment of my friends. having had a rather unstable work life this has been the first time I have been able to treat my self so I spent my money on a pretty bike, my friend was there at the time as well. It wasn't an easy thing for me to do and I think he's just showing concern about the sanity of buying something that as well as functional was pretty and then trying to trash it

Make any sense?? not sure, but laughed at his email this morning

DezB,

brilliant sent him the link to the scan, sure he'll live it.

ctznsmith, he's a mac user.

nick, told him what the cost could be if the hanger hadn't gone.

pleasure 🙂
