Anyone riding Saturday 17th and room for a little ‘un?

Down for the weekend and fancy a ride but no idea route wise as live in Sheffield!

Cheers, will have a look on facebook.

MBR have a route on web which was in their top 20 trails – worth a go?

Thanks Phil will have a look. Based Sheffield but happy to travel – Mrs gets a lesson and I get a day out on the bike somewhere!

Bumpety bump – anyone used them?

What budget road bike wise? Main thing is get fitted as fit more critical than mtb. Decathlon have some very competitive stuff price wise.

Giant do good road bikes and the Defy will take guards in winter – decent frames and get bits to budget and upgrade?

Turbo wise – got a Tacx swing which needs to go – 35 quid and it’s yours…..

Conti GP 4 seasons 25 or 28 good compromise between grip/wear/puncture resistance. As above gatorskins are great in warm and dry but terrifying in wet and cold.

Vittoria Rubino pro used to be alright too (and cheap!)

I’d suggest removing tongue from cheek – it’s pressing that hard it might get stuck!

Stabiliser when you up? Some reasonable mtb at newmillerdam/seckar wood/Woolley moor which can all be linked and at haw park wood too.

Good stuff over Penistone/Huddersfield way too.

Road wise – decent stuff out east or towards hudds.

Fairly local and spent my teens riding round there – drop me mail if you want.

Nobby Nic? Trailstar front, pacestar rear

Winnats is a great climb – and you can head over the top, right, and then head over the shoulder of mam tor and descend mam nick then do the edible valley – lovely route.

New Road which goes from opposite the yorkshire bridge inn near bamford and brings you out at burbage edge on ringinglow road is also stunning

Ride through Chatsworth estate stunning and worth doing,

Froggatt edge road climb a great climb as its 5-6% nearly all way so steady away.

The long climb up to owler bar roundabout from Baslow.

Devils elbow climb from hathersage booth to ringinglow road is stunning.

If you feel brave winnats pass (end of hope valley) and mam Nick climb from deals both good but hard work – winnats is a killer!

If you guys have room for an extra give me a shout. About that area roughly and be up for a ride

On a serious note mate exploded a front tyre and tube in a sportive and ended up with ten broken ribs and a long hospital stay. Does happen.

Discs have risk of heat fade though I guess.

Think Major Tom does?

The evidence on surgery for clavicle fractures is far from clear cut, and there is some suggestion you end up giving a number of people an operation they never needed to catch the one that did.

As such there is often varied opinion on which fractures to fix and which not.

Not as black and white as might appear.

Cheers will have a look. Scud – will have the car so will probably just drive to Thetford one day with the mtbs.

Thanks guys and sorry for lack of info.

Be taking the tent. Facilities wise ideally at least hot showers as takin the Mrs

Presume reference to fact that interest no longer tax deductible (well soon) so you pay tax on all of rent, not rent-mortgage interest.

Dragon one of the conditions of this contract was the BMA had to say they supported it.

So they supported it.

Are the unions and a lot of party members not still in support of him though?

Which then runs the risk that they feel their own parties MPs are ignoring their wishes? Oh, back to normal then for politics. Tongue firmly in cheek.

The tricky thing IF we leave is the EU and those still in will want to show you are better off in than out, and as such have an interest in seeing the UK do badly.

Not an ideal position to negotiate from.

Interesting that Boris is now suggesting retention of large amounts of our integration with Europe and that being in for a lot of stuff is a good thing.

Firstly seems like dreamland, secondly did those who voted leave really vote for that?

If you want very central Park Row or round there.

Centaur House (used to live there) is old warehouse conversion which has roomy flats but is slightly on fringe of city centre.

Engine House? nad one or two others by river are conversions but again slightly on fringe.

Simpsons Dock is probably best mix of conversion/not too pokey but also central ish and close to lively stuff, and station.

Whether it is perception or not a number of leave voters identify immigration as the issue. Of the leave voters I know none of them identified anything else as a reason to vote leave.

Given 25% of doctors in the NHS in which I work are non UK it makes me feel somewhat disappointed.

seosamh – everyone over 60 in my family voted leave. Every single one of them did so because ‘we’ve had enough of immigration’. This is a small sample but this has a lot to do with immigration sadly.

Morecheese covers it well.

‘Le mole’ worth a crack too although a killer, and the climb to flaine ski resort is a classic – bout 22km climb from memory.

How much do you the need the small fold? Dahon do a belt drive, rohloff, hydraulic disc folder. Ultimate low maintainance bombproof folder? Considering as well as something similar to your suggestion.

I have one off a Dahon that happy to part with if your anywhere near Sheffield.

Second Mon Plaisir – tis excellent and very well priced if you don’t get stuck into the wine list too much.

There is an increasing voice from a wide variety of sectors that NHS funding is way too little and it needs a sensible conversation about how to improve this – tax more or spend less on other stuff.

Pay for healthcare staff – tricky one – you need engaged staff who feel valued and cared about if you want to deliver first class healthcare – robots can’t deliver healthcare. The pay issue would be much less of an issue if good will hadn’t been almost eroded and there weren’t so many gaps in service – my other half is one of 2 people on a 9 person rota – i.e. there are 7 vacant slots. Try delivering efficiency and high quality when you are missing over 75% of your staff….

There is an increasing drive to reduce variation and introduce more standardised patterns of working, but much of medicine is still opinion and lacks solid evidence so this will always be difficult, although there are some big gains to make – e.g. use of implants like hip replacements.

Jambalaya – the US spends over 40% of their total spending on healthcare on administration of the billing system. Healthcare that spends over a third of its budget on nothing to do with healthcare is not in any way a good system.

As above, numbers registered are not a useful guide.

We are going to 1 of 11 slots filled on one of our rota slots from August. That’s in a major city hospital.

No hope of getting locums either as now the rates are capped they refuse to work in busy units.

The system is creaking more and more. Ironically staffing levels are relatively higher today than many days due to cancellation of elective work.

H1ighland3r – goal of treatment is return to function – ideally this is via fracture union.

If you do get a fibrous non-union which allows PAINLESS RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION which is a distinct possibility then worrying x-rays is to some extent treating the X-ray and not you.

I have seen people 15 years down the line from a non union who are fine (and have been throughout!).

If you can’t get back to normal then clearly this is a different matter, but in short don’t sweat too much about x-rays – they are a guide based on how you are, not the be all and end all. Sounds like you got some good and sensible advice/opinion.

Drac do your trust have to be signed up to it or can you do it independently through the scheme?

Be interested to see how this pans out. Wales and Scotland are keeping the contract as per current one, so there will be disparity in pay against England.

There may well be a significant shift in people taking up posts there.

But broken record but…

…work in one of biggest teaching hospitals in Europe. We don’t have enough junior docs to staff rota without locums IN OFFICE HOURS MONDAY TO FRIDAY. So mor docs at weekend means we need more locums.

Applications for GP training, surgical training, medical training are all at record low this year.

We cancel elective surgery mon-fri due to lack of beds. Trying to operate electively on a weekend will just mean more cancellations.

We don’t have enough staff to safely staff Monday to Friday. The only way to have more weekend staff is to reduce weekday staff. That is not progress!

No one saying hard up. Just fair pay for effort involved.

Take out the individual – retention and recruitment of medical staff is falling year on year. Many rotas now rely on locums every week to maintain minimum staffing.

If even 10%-15% more juniors left there would be a huge problem staffing wise.

Entitled to opinion on pay loddrik but contract issue many other aspects to it.

Wasnt aware lorry drivers can legally work a 91 hour week of nights. Must have missed that.

Loddrik – on then. Why do you think juniors salaries are too generous?

Given many are going overseas and applications to training are fallin year on year and vacancies rising there is clearly a problem.
