I want to know which one of the barrow pushers is mcmoonter.

Meanwhile, here on a cold, windy, crappy-snow threatened island, sympathy may be hard to come by…..

I think eyes are most relaxed in a horizontal position, so your neck may be fine if it’s supported but your eyes may start to ache.

My new DFS leather two seater is proving very comfy. Sorry :oops:

Heck, is that the time?

That windscreen is delicious on its own.

So cornering on a mountain bike is the opposite of a motorbike. I guess this is mostly to do with weight and centre of gravity. I must stop trying to get my knee down (before I fall off) when riding my mountain bike (not that I ride a motorbike) no matter how cool I think it looks :P

I think I have some carbon wrap then, it’s in with my electrical bits and bobs :?

Mine are kept in the cellar and get worked on in there. I can even give them a “dry wash” if I’ve not had time to get the hosepipe on them. There are no distractions and time passes at a different rate, “yes that really is the time”.

Why Oh Why did we have the pathetic snow program last night? When they should have been showing this to put it all into a bit of perspective.

So good you did it twice. I haven’t and can’t so well done.

Ah, that’s how they came up with the fat bike then cheesy.

I remember the Radio Rentals man coming around frequently to mend the CRT telly. They were too expensive for my parents to buy. Modern technology makes things cheeper and more reliable, who mends tvs nowadays? I’m with leffeboy on this.

For those advocating warm water and washing up liquid, do you take your laundry and a washboard down to the river still? If you use a dishwasher properly they can be just as efficient and a lot more hygienic. Siemans here by the way, not put a jet wrong in five years.

If only that big tent in the Trueman Show was real. That looked big enough to cover the peak district, which I know is better when it’s dry. Some of you won’t be old enough to remember this sadly.

Statistics only prove what has happened, not what is going to happen. If you remember this, you’ll always have hope that this year will be as dry as a bone.

It drains pretty well, though there will still be some big puddles, just ride through these as it’s firm underneath. It’s on sandy land so the mud doesn’t stick. Will you die? Maybe from boredom if you’re a gnar shredding to the max downhiller. It’s good fun though. Make sure you follow signs to the bike park part way round the Kitchener trail and you’ll find some new stuff.

Footflaps gives Mcmoonter idea.

Mmmm, this looks a bit like a litter tray!

Nein.. er, I mean no.

Can we have another go at the World Cup? We were definitely cheated out of that.

Well your edit was quicker than my post firestarter, so at least that quick job went well.

Went for a weekend away in The Peak District. Loaded bikes on roof at home, locked them on and took keys inside. Picked keys up and left. Went to take bikes off at Fairhomes and discovered I’d picked the wrong Thule keys up. Carted bikes around on roof for three days and went walking instead.

:cry:

Lilac?

?

Like punctuation and spelling?

A slip sliding first light ride at sherwood pines this morning before the rain set in. Luckily my new overshoes kept my feet dry through the mini lakes.

I’m not sure anyone on here will admit to having a bumbag. Maybe a lumber oriented hydration module or similar. Anyways, have any of the lakes been drained yet?

Rubberneckers are always blamed for slowing traffic, but the first thing most people do when they see blue flashing lights up ahead us let off the throttle and it only takes one it two to brake to start forming a queue. Add to this people traveling too close, and it doesn’t take much to have another collision. So by the time you are level you are going slow enough to have a glance. I don’t think these screens will do a lot to help. So it may well be a case of the rubbernecking idea tail wagging the screen solution dog.

Overshoes for both mtb and road. It will probably stop raining now.

How about the new camelbak volt?

I understand that spchantler, but as I don’t finish work ’til 5, the evenings will still be dark for a while yet.

8 feet rusty? That’s a bit of an over-order no. Or did you have secret plans for it , “yes of course I need all this darling” :wink:

Sorry to depress you, but the changing of the clocks is not equidistant both sides of the solstice, therefore it takes longer to get out of the dark than into it :cry:

If Mcmoonter is one of those handsome men from an earlier thread, people are going to start disliking him. What with his log piles, country estate, tractor, wood burning stove, pool house and now artistic talent. It’s the British way.

I’ve never met any of you personally I don’t think. Sherwood pines is my local haunt (as you can’t call Newark a haunt as far as MTB goes) so I may have shared a “mornin'” or “evenin'” with one or two of you.

Good spot on the plumb/plum thing chaps. Accordion to research, most people don’t notice musical instruments hidden in sentences.

Your legs will hurt.
You’ll need to buy new ‘relaxed fit’ jeans.
You’ll drop all your mtb mates on the climbs.
You’ll need to explain to your SO that “yes I do need bib-shorts”.
You’ll keep clicking on that road.cc link down there.
You’ll have to buy more stuff.
You might not regret it.
