Sounds like the punchline to a joke, probably not a very funny one. :-)

But he didn’t choose one over the others did he? He basically said get down your local shop and try a few. Sound advice if you ask me.

But we’re in good old Blighty and warm and dusty is just a temporary state. I’m a mountain biker too, ignoring the fact I’ve done four times as many miles on the road :?

If you’re only 7 miles from Pines, you’re only 90 mins at most from the dark peak. Plenty of classic routes downloadable on tinterweb. And this is coming from a Pines regular.

Your local bee man won’t collect bumble bees that’s for sure. But as has been said they will disappear in time.

My wife stopped talking to me for a few hours once. She then said “Right, now I’m talking to you…..”. She was even angrier when I said I hadn’t noticed she’d been giving me the silent treatment. :D

There’s a thread on road.cc also.

Not stereotyping there are we qwerty?

Hawk Moth!

Shimano RS80s are £299 at Ribble Cycles ATM. Mine are great.

As kayak says. But if you can do it across the angle on a vice or some such one small bit at a time it shouldn’t fatigue it.

I don’t think that is a brake cable. It’s a proper retro pull rod :?

The coolest people don’t know or care that they’re cool.
I don’t think or care that I’m cool.
I think I’ll always be cooler than you therefore. :roll:

Well I think you have to keep them. They’re foodstuffs no? And you can’t return foodstuffs. My excuse anyway.

They look more ‘right’ than the maestro Giants have done in a fair while if you ask me.

These look good

Reliant Robin fibreglass bodyshell near Oakham. Guessing the scrappies had weighed in the chassis.

There are a couple of singletrack/downhill trails on the penken mountain at Mayrhofen which is where you’ll pass through on the way to the hintertux. The guys at the bike hire in the big marquee (Max something) are really helpful.

It’s not all about you you know; bloody narcissists.

Car on the drive, engine running, baby inside; this bit worries me the most. It would only take a second for the worst to happen and it wouldn’t be the first time.

The boulders are still there and some smaller ones have been added in the rebuild. It’s as has been said, in the bike park. There are couple of drop offs to be aware of though.

Nay, nay and thrice nay. You have already compromised your dignity, you might as well be comfortable. Confirmed double discipline cyclist here too.

Buzzing your mates tyre as youths when mountain bikes were in their infancy. It was usually the ‘buzz-er’ not the ‘buzzee’ that fell off though.

See any Danny Mac or similar video to learn how to front flip before attempting again. Seriously I think you dodged a bullet there though. At which exact moment did you realise it wasn’t going to end well?

Only if they come back out with donuts and shakes should you take a photo and tweet it.

Your Todd seems quite an accommodating kind of fella mindmap :P

On a short break on Rutland Water, 35 mile road ride, bit of miniature golf, bit of tennis (playing and watching), tuna steak for dinner with beer and wine. Similar tomorrow with the weekend crowds no doubt.

Practise manualling through braking bumps. :-)

I think the term is Ma Hoosive, said with a Scottish accent. And on a sunny Sunday afternoon what did you expect?

Best not mention the ‘R’ word, lest somebody gets offended. :twisted:

They are not seeds, they are free Haribos from Wiggle i think you have planted.

Doing the Great Notts Bike Ride next Sunday. 100 miles seems a little daunting at the mo, due to an annoying dry tickly cough and streaming nose. Didn’t realise it fell within Bike Week though.

It does exactly what…..
IGMC..

Riding slightly up hill today on a quiet but wide enough road, a few slight bends so not 100 percent vision, Flash Harry in his Masserati decides the safest course of action would be to boot it past me to within 18″. Two seconds later the road straightened and he would have seen enough to use the other side of the road. Still, that was today’s only incident.

Saw the Lancaster fly over north Notts about 12 o’clock on its way to Derbyshire. Not quite the same but enjoyable none the less.

They’ll have none left soon. Ta.

Watched the end of the Lincoln grand prix in the rain, after riding the 75 mile sportive yeesterday, which also finished in the rain.

Can’t think where McM gets his industriousness from!

As will says, there is a new trail from Bilsthorpe on the old pit railway line that links into the back of sherwood pines. Not sure where you’d park though.
