OK, so what figures do I want? I have no idea, I am now on my third glass

I may have had a couple of glasses of wine

OK, not sure if this went to the right place but it was the only contact I could find. No idea what the hell I am actually talking about but am as pissed off with all this as people who actually use the route. Hope it makes someone think.

this is what I sent to DCC
“Hi, it has been brought to my attention that an area of natural beauty has recently been destroyed. Nature has, after years of general awesomeness, created a landscape that was as interesting to walk, run, and ride as it was to just simply look at. I have now seen pictures of materials being dumped over this natural landscape hiding it’s beauty from site. Gone are those beautifully sculpted stones, smoothed over years of natural erosion and footfall, never again will an artist, photographer or even a visitors minds eye be able to record or recall this natural beauty.

Anyway, that’s the whimsical prose out of the way and so to my point, I would like to know the financial ins and outs relating to the work carried out at Rushup Edge, how much did it cost, how did you decide to spend the money here rather than on the many dangerous potholes in the roads, how many teachers could you have funded with the money you have spent on destroying gods countryside.

That’s all.

Enjoy your week

John”

I have mine and it created a fabulous strobe light effect in my garden for 10 mins last night. Great fun, just need a bike to fix it to now.

Sipsmiths, Tanq no 10 and Aldi London in that order. Love the stronger botanical flavour of the T 10 but it’s not as drinkable as Sipsmiths if you want more than one.

we have 2 kindle fire HD’s and an iPad. The iPad is used the most by us adults mainly because it’s what we are used to, the children love the Kindles and they have great image quality and actually better sound straight from the device than the iPad 2. Issue with the Kindle is I don’t think you can store movies on them, to view you need to stream. Plenty of decent apps for kids and has a good parental control system

I have the frame still sat naked in the garage 🙁 not sure when it will see the light of day but it looks lovely 🙂

Cheers kimbers.

Nice to see.

No riding for me this weekend due to family commitments and a visit to a HMS ship which ended up with beer and sunday lunch 🙂

Picked up the frame and forks for my Sherpa build yesterday and have the drivetrain arriving tomorrow. I have a feeling the build may take a while due to finance but I want it now, I am sick of dragging the full suss around cross country routes.

Congratulations 🙂

Still haven’t written off the rigid fork bmike, may still give it a go.

Picking the frame and some bits up tomorrow whooooo hooooooo. Also broken the news to the boss and it went down about as well as could be expected.

Loved the blacklist but thought I had seen them all. Is there a new season on now?

Hmmmm now you have confused me on bike choice julioflo

Thanks all, might just have to pop the bike on the car then 🙂

Cheers stm

Hmmm I guess the obvious question is whether you can ride during the rehab time. Personally I am not convinced it is seperated as I can use the thumb, it just hurts a lot.

Thanks for taking the time to answer 🙂

Must be someone out tjere? Or maybe this injury is so bad no one survives to tell the tale?

4 days but have family with us so possible half a day available.

X Fusion Slants put to one side along with the frame. Going to go new for the drivetrain but 2nd hand for wheels and brakes. Any Recomendations for a good but inexpensive 29er wheel? And when I say I expensive I mean really inexpensive.

Must remember to watch this with the children this weekend, sounds great.

I have the cycle scheme vouchers in order so a Sherpa should be mine very soon 🙂

Very helpful on the phone they were. Hope to pay them a visit soon

Yes dv, are you on commission? 😉

Thanks Dan, thought there must have been a reason as they have a good reputation. Wasn’t using this to slate them for not answering mind, always good to hear from peeps who own the bikes anyway.

Looks like I have a frame sorted, just need to Find the cash now 🙂

Lerk, why did you put a tangfastic in your eye instead of a contact lens? There is shortsighted and erm you lol

Still nothing 🙁 let’s see if Tamed Earth can beat them to a sale 🙂

Cheers dv. Will do.

That’s brilliant turboferret

Cheers both. Any recommendations on frame size?

It really is an amazing amount of discomfort brought on by a fruit

Mixing up a cup of sugar water, Olive oil to rub on knob, will that work?

Hope you heal quickly. I am currently nursing a ligament tear and the cast is due off on weds, still isn’t fixed I can tell. Bones heal faster you will be back riding before you know it

Ride in the dark tonight with BigShep. Great fun and a little hairy when you realise the corner you thought you were at, was the next one not the one you were just about to go round which was sharper and had a big tree root to negotiate.

Just watched the videos of him at whistler, I am indeed rubbish.

Chap I know, who will probably see this thread and comment soon, had exactly the same thing happen a few weeks ago. He had a most acceptable result after reporting the incident to the manufacturer.

If the link works there is some info there

Edit: that should have said linky but auto correct thought it was funny to change it

Skins type base layer or lots of vas does the trick. Benefit of the base layer is that it holds the wobbly bits in as well.

Bruichladdich Has always delivered for me, and as common as it is I love a Glenmorangie.
