Currenly own an orange, previous bike was an orange, am looking for a new frame that is a mullet it will not be an orange – Ellsworth are going to loose their crown of fugly bikes kings

Snow above 500 meters, and wet under that – expect compacted snow / ice on main paths

I’m boating tomorrow, based in Cumbria and its *hitting it down

Ride in the Lakes and across to Caldbeck fells in 2 minutes then cleaning and packing bike ready to fly to Crested Butte on Monday for 3 weeks 🙂 just let myself get excited for the first time and am feeling more than a little giddy!

Wonderful and wonderment are words that always spring to mind, and I’m never sure how I can spend so much time lost in a single page – I can’t remember the story but the words ‘never loose faith in the colour of the sky’ came from one strip and the words pop into my head from time to time and they always seem to keep me good.

I’d echo others please release some prints 🙂

Two nuns on a tandem one says I’ve never come this way before, the other says no it must be cobbles

Coffee and Jaffa cakes – not good

If you’ve not done a fell race before then be prepared for the descents as well the ascents, it places a different kind of strain on your legs compared to road or ‘trail’ running. A bit like biking the speed that a good seasoned fell racer drops during a race is amazing if you are just used to running on the road.
The other obvious thing is navigation, even during a big fell race like Fairfield people still go off course if the clag is down (it’s easy to slip down into Dovedale)so if you can run the course before hand it’ll help.
If you do a couple of smaller races you can soon pick up tips just by watching others as well asking.

😀 well done Jamie, Sunday night is no longer rubbish

Regular lakes rider here using a Ardent 2.25 exo on the back of my full suss. Great tyre, as said above can get a little over whelmed in mud but seen as the lakes is mostly rock it’s not a problem

I’m lakes based +1 for this ^^ for front and back

If you drop down from the light house end it’s a pain! It’s really quite steep in sections with in-situ ropes though bolts to make things easier – if I took a dog that I’d be worried about it taking a tumble. Access from the other end will be easier but little longer.

😀

Thank you!

Bump again.

+1 scrotes

Thanks Postierich 🙂

Sympathies are with you Nigel – Had my Santa Cruz Superlight (black & size medium)on Tuesday in Kendal – outside my house and under my bedroom window! Still no idea how the alarm didn’t go off or how I didn’t hear them. The police said thieves are targeting expensive bikes and breaking them for sale on-line. SCROATS!

Can someone trendy buy one of these and sell me their 17″ early 2013 model please

Inset days are not taken off the total number days your child should be taught for (190 & teachers are contracted for 195 to include 5 inset days) you should(?) get the monday added into another holiday – if not maybe a chat with the head teacher

Nan Bield descent is covered in snow for it’s totality – it has a different aspect to Garburn

The day marks an end to a war and should be treated thus – a chance to reflect why sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers have died. I think on its inception it was to reflect on all those that had fallen regardless of their birthplace and the reasons why. I worry that this reflection forms a lesser part than the grief (which for many is undoubtedly necessary).

In search of Robert Millar for an interesting read about the UK’s 3rd ‘best’ Tour de France rider and anything by Graham Watson for the coffee table

Love mine had it for 4 years – 115mm forks – no problems with pedal strikes, been out to the alps a couple of times with it with no real issues; I’m based in the lakes and it’s been tops for riding around here too.

buy a map cader idris

+1 for Stalingrad – probably the only war book I’ve started and finished – we are very lucky people in the place and time we live

My Old Man – Ian Dury and the Blockheads sublimely touching

Bon Iver – currently being looped in the car again and again

Like the others have said it’s just getting past this bit – once you’ve got the administative side of things sorted it does become much easier and your focus will shift from the paper work to enjoying the classroom.

It sounds like classic stress patterns that you describe, I’m a deputy head and suffer the same fealings unless I make time to be away (completly) from work thoughts (friends, family, exercise etc).

What wrecker said and most importantly there’s a man with a welly over his head – fantastic a bad day just got lots better – a man with a welly on his head!

Cranberry? In beer? NO!

This isn’t santisation on the Kentmere side – it changes after each storm / dry spell

I took my granny, she did nothing but complain grandad however was busting moves all the way down

I’m a teacher and little bit of me dies each time I here about things like this

Could be anything – campag use to sell lugs & drop outs for frame builders to put together as was their desire and then stamp with their own number. Was / is there a local frame builder? They may records dating back relating frame number?

Finishing drying my tears

Batter

Good lad!

Better than twitter! Keep the results coming in 🙂

Just back from chasing the sun around Kentmere……. a peaceful mind and tired body

Car museum just down the road from the steam railway too – Kendal climbing wall?
