Anyone know where I can buy a pair of helmet speakers, over the counter human transaction style?? No time for online… Ta

Sainte Foy on Sunday. just booked some off piste guiding to take advantage of all the POW!!

had some good results using the nikwax stuff recently.

im conscious about cleaning my drivetrain after riding this time of year but usually end up washing the whole bike, unless i know its going back out the next day or so. as for me theres an inch of skin between the top of my socks and the bottom of my knee pads, and my face that gets muddy, the rest is a quick hose off and hung up to dry or shoved in the washer. shoes on the radiator.

but yeah it is all a bit of a faff… long for the days you can just shove it back in the shed and go about your day without even needing a shower…

ive been deliberating over a new pack lately too, but having emptied it out and put through the wash its like new and the itch has gone away! thats an evoc too – im gonna wash it again and take it skiing!

hate using wet lube, chain is always ends up a horrible black mess

currently using this stuff, keeps my chain feeling super smooth and can come back form filthy rides looking like new.

theres drinking and theres drinking, ill probably not spend any days consuming the amounts i did some days over xmas, but im not gonna deprive myself of the small pleasures like a nice glass of red with my tea, the post ride pint or the gin & tonic on the train home after a long week away. f that

The hope ones a great, platform is MASSIVE!

i would like to know when you are gonna branch out and introduce the FNPR!?

apparently its a massive improvement! 8O

went no MIPS in my bushwhacker because i wanted a blue one.

Giro Montaro MIPS as my old helmet’s more than 5 years old

where from? cant find stock anywhere…

do folk do any sort of additional training, other than just riding your bike?

vos inscriptions sont validees!

woop

bloody gorgeous weather last year and a great day out. dont over think it, just get the best digs you can find any your chosen resort then register for the ppds with the nearest start point. Obviously Morzine and Les Gets starts sell out first, we had to choose Lindarets but just rode over from Morzine in the morning no problems… Friday was the quieter day too…

oh good that’s what mine said too. so is there any chance it wont get validated…? how soon do you hear?

what did your confirmation emails say?

i just registered, didnt provide any insurance, licence or prev results. says to expect email when accepted by organiser… :?

So can I enter a couple of us or is it every man for himself??

Just seen the other thread soz…

New carbon patrol about the only bike turning my head atm…

These are my subscriptions that I listen to every week. Love podcasts. No time for listening to owt else these days…
Stones Throw
Dailysession
Richard herring
Kermode and mayo
Desert island discs

I rotate two pairs but the wet ones go in a cardboard box on the radiator. Also got one of these if I’m in a rush http://m.clasohlson.com/uk/Shoe-Dryer/18-4300

Madison Zenith for me. Also Madison flux for summer and addicts in winter. Madison are ace. Got some poc flows for crimbo which are very nice too…

Probably ridden more this (last) year than any before so hopefully continue that pattern. Really wanna explore more next (this) year, get up a few more mountains. Got megavalanche with a weeks riding in alpdhuez & L2A to look forward to too!!

Rarely listen to albums these days with all the quality podcasts about, but probably Dam Funk, invite the light…

Really liked that ska couple that were on! it’s always a bit lame but do like watching it on nye – absolutely wounded by the revelation it’s not live!!!

Good little play in buckden and horncliffe woods, steered clear of the bog tops. One massive stack and a ripped open brand new flux jacket!

I used to think that in my more misanthropic days. Now it barely registers on the radar. Just another night in with the Mrs and kids.

Anyone ever bought a Mongoose on the back of his videos??

I’ve got one of these. It was handed down to me actually by my dad who swore by it (but only used it for featherweight carbon road bikes) 32lb mtbs I wasn’t so sure about. Tbf I have used it a bit, I don’t mind using it to whip the bike up the road to a local train head and it has been fine. It does make the roof wobble tho which puts me off longer journeys especially on motorways or along twisty lanes – however, I was hoping to take a bike to Wales next week; has any one tried using the seasucker with the bike layed flat and bungied to it? Was thinking I could whip the pedals off and turn the bars flat and transport like that?

Big fan too read both his books and listen to all his broadcasts but I thought cradle to the grave was incredibly shit…

It’s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

BOOOM just spotted titanic in the window!!! 65/65

had all them gee, thanks anyway…

ok im on 64 but dont even know which clue im missing if its not the chimneys or the gargoyles?

ahhhhhhhhhhh gold clock! ffs i love that film!

got the green hat hat too, i already had the film but from the yellow brick road clue! doh

also must remember to put ‘The’ where necessary!

im embarrassed to admit but im struggling with the green hat and the owl with the envelope… as well as the gold clock, chimneys and the birds on roof like everyone else… 60/65

Just back from seeing it. I thought it was great but my enjoyment was overshadowed by the abysmal 3D that made me feel like I’ve been smoking crack! Dreadful. I have no interest in 3d just I’d have had to wait another half hour for 2d – won’t make that mistake again…

Gisburn. some of the off piste stuff at Grizedale is pretty full on.

i really cant get excited about next years racing just yet. im booked on a couple of tweedlove ones and ard rock, but other than that ill pick and choose. there were spare places become available for every round last year.

Lee Quarry / cockhill has been the favorite last few years – will cockhill be included this time with their current predicament??

hell fire just looked at morzine webcams!! 8O
