Better than trying to get your wood out of wax I suppose 😯

OMG – weird as fu**

Kraft one, betterer but still bad!

A glug in each tyre

Great photos James. I got scared after the 5th one.

Some of the pictures above are just blokes on bikes in the middle of a load of rocks! No trails in sight!

Training it might be, but doesn’t explain the large “sack” on the 2nd horse 😯

Horse rescue training, the dummy horse will be weighted to resemble the weight of a real one.

Expect a load of firemen soon.

Maybe, but it was like the Marie Celeste, not a soul around for miles….maybe they were hiding in the undergrowth, or were ninja firemen?

Yorkshire89, happy to show you round the Forest or Lorsdwood – needs to be evenings

2nd try,

3 and half weeks, catching the Mega, Crankworx Les2Alpes, and the Tour, with 20 sleeps to go….

Full face is a requirement for the black

There are a couple of uplifts running from Tarbole, most of the bike shops will put GPX files on a sat nav for you as well. Watch the prices though, they mainly cater for affluent Germans

Knightrider – now you are talking!

“Steve Peat has done more for Downhill Mountain Biking than Osama Bin Laden has done for terrorism”

My Mrs uses one at night, before bed. I’m not allowed to touch it without a fully supervised training course

There is a sweet/savoury bar that one of the energy bar co’s make. Little sandwiches good, cut into 1/4trs, so easy to eat on the move. Personally, I like to stop fir a pasty or greasy fry up enroute 😯

Rob’s repeated use of co-commentators nick name, a nice touch to proceedings I thought ?

Can also be dirt under the front mech clamp / band if it’s that type

Verona is a day trip out from Tarbole, most of your boxes will be ticked if you went there 🙂

Nike 6.0 high tops for me

Good result!

MH, so plenty of room – experience of resort bike shops are that they are mega expensive….

I’m with the OP, shi*te, complete and utter

Mmmmm………….they are Avids……. 🙄

Dry it then smoke it, see if that yields any info

It’s definitely a grower….

Metabief quite a fun run / day out, easy access, nice village, massive car park at the bottom of the gondola, tickets as single run, half day or full day. Link here Metabief[/url]

Plenty of car parks around Zermatt – next to stations and you can out bike on train, which will take you to the top! Though there are / were access problems with some trails with walkers, the Swiss being very rules driven and all that.

Very useful, thankyou – genuinely never knew it existed, installed and working (I think) 😀

Contrary to some of the advice here a complete ACL rupture is a big deal and if it were me I would want it sorted ASAP. The implications further down the line are potentially pretty severe so anything you can be doing to help yourself now for the long term can only be a good thing. Bug the GP and get the opinion of a surgeon ASAP

POSTED 21 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

There are no implications further down the line, once it’s broken it’s broken! You cant make it worse! If you can get the knee moving and strengthened with the right physio / doctor / exercise, there is nothing to suggest you can’t function as you did before WITHOUT surgery!

Ive snapped my ACL on the left, skiing and then my tore my meniscus on the right and snapped the ACL also, through a bike injury. Doc suggested surgery both times, and both times I explored alternatives via a couple of different physio’s. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but within 3 months of the 1st injury and 9 months of the second, I’ve been back to riding at full strength. One of the changes I made, was to use pedals / cleats with more float and during recovery made various adjustments to saddle, both up and down. Surgery was and would be an absolute final step for me, and I wanted to try various things first. So far, so good and as that was 4+ years ago I’m in no rush……

Who’s the rider? Commentary is awesome!

Cannock just off the M6, not that I’d call it “North” though.
–
Whinlatter is about 20 miles from M6

No flash on iPad……grrrrrrrr….

Gears – it’s very up and down

Clicked the link, comes up with blank page on my iPad fwiw

I’ve tried many, and liked a few. Problem is when I get one I like, it’s no longer on special offer and is bound to be in the £50+ quid camp. No real discernible difference between the major names / makes / choices as long as its broadly fit for purpose IMHO.

That pool vid is awesome!!

Valloire looks good on the web, hopefully weather will be kind!

Switchbacks in a MH are always fun!

don,t miss the new roof at Kings Cross station

– as per previous post, here is not a good place to “watch the Laydeez” from……..
.
OP – glad the interview went well and you came to your senses and went home for a ride

Yes, in winter – maybe in Summer. On the South Coast please near Southampton, would be ideal….

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong – on so many levels….
