You are probably all correct in your assesment that is not actually excessive.
May find it hard to find a pan big enough to cook in one go though.
Any suggestions for cooking.
Home alone this week, hence the purchase.

Hmm it is the fridge.
I did not even get a bag.
Just leaky paper ?

Try and get some paid/un-paid work expereince somewhere ?
University potentially but missing a year will not matter.

If you are considering travelling than NZ would be a great place to see as the countryside is amazing. I met a british guy there years ago that was doing unpiad work in countryside type jobs.

Maybe resign yourself to a year saving up and then go travelling.

Think I have some old sprinters lenses somewhere.
Lost the frames
Do they fit ?

Should be there.
Change of plans.
See you there chaps.

Do not blame me.
Tennis is the best.

We have scaffold outside our place.
It will be there till the next job comes up.
Cheaper than taking down and storing.
So much for my sea view.
J.

If you are still stuck.
Buy Car mechanics magazine.
A good read and there is a column in there that deals with electronic diagnostics.
Chap in ther may be able to help.
Cheers

Ooo what time, may cycle over.

Rebas…

Troll

Hmm domain name registered two days ago..

Looking good !!

Not enough I feel for a podium.
Especially given tomorrows big day.
Proper exciuting though.
Maybe Wigo can join Lances nike team next year ???
J.

Get a 29er scandal and some rigids.
Or classifeids for rebas.
J.

My girlfriend has an NC10 – seems really good to my non techie brain.
Free when you spend £40 a month with orange as well..

Rebas or floats can be spaced down to 85mm.
Or put a wanted add up.
2nd hand Rebas would be my choice.
As you could reuse them.
J.

Keep eating and drinking.
Haribos are good for something just to keep sugar levels up.
Lube up down below, especially if it looks like being hot.
Start as early as you possibly can, and take it steady.
Check your tyres – flints can be tough on em.
Enjoy..
J.

Not sure they had that on Eurosport..
Very impressive.

Load of plain pasta works for me.
Fig rolls.
Loads of hariboes.
Apple tunrovers.

Very clever..
Nice sunny day aswell.
J.

Nice Vid Ian,
You got a good run toward the end there.
Really makes me want to do it.
J.

Ok,
Seems too much if they are specific.
Cheers

I thankyou for your answers. No biking it is.
Sailing though – me love long time.
Just need to borow a boat..

Personally would never touch em.
Snapped a brand new carbon post in 30mins of dusk till dawn.
First big hill on first day of transalp, guy at top trying to fix his carbon bars with a stick.
Was only 2 mins later I realised I should have given him the gaffer tape I had in my bag.
Carbon forks are OK though…
Just kep an eye on them.

Check saddle level..
Long and low bikes makes my back feel good.
Noticed this yesterday when I rode my smaller bike.
So try getting yourself more stretched out.
Longer stem/ saddle backwards, poss with layback post.
Bars lower maybe to get more weight on your arms.
When you have enough room to get an inward arch in your back when riding, works for me.

Try lots of different things…

Forks such as rebas and fox, can be adjusted with internal spacers.
I meant to get round to running spaced out 65mm travel rebas to my old steel marin, never quite got roun to it though, still got the p2’s on it.
J.

Got my deore groupset today, waited maybe two days.
Got a bike full of bits supercheap.
Packing was a bit non existant, oh and the postman woke me at 7:30.
Good work though.
J.

Bought an Oris modern classic few years ago in sales for £200.
Think you need something better than a casio ( my other watch ) if you wear a suit..
Sometimes look in windows at watches and never seen anything else I would want.
Except a Maurice lacrois slim thin ñ but that was £2k.
Cheers
