    Damn it. After watching the clip he looks like a human being with compassion for a girl doing a very difficult thing and having a hard time doing it. I think he judged it just right.

    TooTall, irate? Where was i irate? just a question about the spoiling of my environment and more pertinent will be the question about the boards removal and timing thereof.

    Oh, and i think you are mistaking an advertising campaign for democracy.

    I once accidentally read a "no bike sign" as a no going uphill on a bike sign. Damn this slight Aspergers of mine and my literalisation of signs.

    Exempt from outdoor access code:

    I would argue that a dedicated mtb trail falls into this category (mind you so would a walkers trail).

    Land or water that has been developed or set out for a
    recreational purpose, whilst in use and where your exercise
    of access rights would interfere with the recreational use
    intended for that land, such as horse racing gallops.

    More to the point milk is homongenised, back in the day heat could disturb this and bring the fat out of suspension.

    Friends did the trailquest while i went for a pootle round the black. Was surprised by the use of walking trails on a bank holiday sunday. Must be risky to say the least. Definitely a few managed to "accidentally" head the wrong way down waymarked routes. There was direction of flow on the maps so no excuse.

    They were based out of buzzards nest so a wee word with the organisers might have removed enough points for them to not do it again.

    Aparently there is a BS or something about this saying there must be clearance between the shoe and the wheel. But there is no size of shoe or cleat position stipulated. So smallest size and furthest forward cleat position keeps bike nice and compact. Only really a problem on really tight stuff. Never had an issue on my roadie while riding.

    Propanone (acetone) is stronger organic solvent. I wouldn't and i'm an organic chemist.

    cable ties for me to. Did this as first guess. Didn't ever get round to moaning about the missing part which it looks as though now was never missing.

    Still snow we went round on Wednesday and there is a 2m snow dune in the woods off the boundary. Didn't make it as far as redemption but there are a lot of low hanging branches on what we did do.

    Wear and tear not covered. Can you prove that it is defective in some way? If insured there's a bloke down the pub that'll get rid of it for you for a couple of pints.

    Tighten it up then. It'll do no good all lose back there and if you're not careful you might break something.

    I had it for back spasms, 50/500, drank a few lemonades and was pretty ill the next day. Not something i intend to repeat and i'm not one who easily learns from his own stupidity.

    Really if your sitting at home writing replies not having gone through this from overseas then you need to know it ain't fun.

    I'm stuck in southern Spain, earliest flight assuming that there is no knock on effect (chances of that are slim) is Saturday. BA are effectively washing their hands of us as of tomorrow.

    Hire car to Paris 1400 euros; can't get train to calais as there is a threat of french industrial action and renfe will not book passed the border.
    Next santander ferry for foot passenger is 29th, Bilbao www site is too busy to cope.

    So you sit down and find a route from sunny Malaga (cause that's where we're stuck) price it and give details. Lets see how easy it is.

    It's easy from behind your desk at home to tell others to dry their eyes. If it's so good i'll happily swap.

    Still hoping that my re-booked flights for saturday will be OK. that's a 9 day delay. Honestly folks it sound like fun but BA have told us that we are on our own from tomorrow and this is after getting to the gate desk. They were about to put the first of us on the 'plane before delaying then cancelling the flight.

    BA have said that as of breakfast tomorrow we're on our own. Left standing at the hotel door with nothing. Fortunately we can head back to the house we used for biking. We are entitled to "up to £100 per room per night and £25 per person per day for 3 days" then it's……..well i don't know what it is. We have bookings for next Saturday, so potentially 4 days out of pocket.

    Prices are on the rise. It would now cost 2000 euros to get three of us and bikes to central London and then we'd still have to get North. Look like we're sticking with BA until further notice.

    I withdraw my pop at smug old bugger earlier. Unless we hear something it looks like Friday for a return home. Fortunatley we have three bikes and free accommodation 3 hours away, in the big Spanish hills. Willie Walsh/BA travel insurance will be picking up the bill for everything from this point on.

    Well BA have put us up for another night, guess that means they are going to fly us out sometime. Ha-HA to the smug git who was parading around last night letting everyone know he'd managed to re-book for Tuesday.

    They, BA, have cancelled flights and you have to phone to re-book but i'm in Spain and it's getting pricey. Are they allowed to cancel the flight and make me re-book when i'm sitting at the gate? Have absolutey no info from BA about the procedures we need to follow. If it is a re-book i'm here for another 6 days at least.

    Well after a week of great biking in southern Spain. I'm now stuck here with no info from BA. It would appear that the Spanish office is now closed. The only information i have is that the next flight i can book onto is the 21st. Apparently they cancelled the flight 5 hours before i got my boarding card (how can you get a boarding card for a cancelled flight?).

    I could never work it out so live 24hr events on eth principle that if my legs start to get lactic or strained that's bad and no matter how puffed my lungs will recover quickly.

    As stated above:

    This too will pass

    Simple short snappy (just like me) and can be used no matter the situation. GF asked how i cope with stress and this is the answer, well this and more bikes than i can ride at one time.
