If you resign, it’s easier for him.

Let them terminate you. In line with your contract / statute.

Fell Foot was nice the other week, maybe not 5 miles though

Shakedown ride on my old Merida Big Niner repurposed as a single speed

It’s so dry out at the moment I was still on Rapid Robs!

That looks bloody lovely.

And I’d just managed to convince myself I don’t need any more bikes

BB looks high though?

Virgin didn’t used to charge for sports equipment, but were bloody dear (code sharing with Air NZ) to get to Auckland when I looked.

We’ve flown Singapore before now (excellent airline, and pretty good pricing normally) – so might offset the sports equipment prices with lower fares.

You’ll have to shop about I suspect

Although if you’re passing Greenodd pop into the bakery for a sausage roll, best in the county.

I will do, I passed there yesterday in fact!

Running a 2.4 Chunky Monkey and cane get a finger down each side still

Have we checked that there isn’t a parallel thread running on this on Mumsnet?

Where “going for a Chinese” is akin to Centreparcs?

hora
if it goes tits up

Internet high 5 sire

Dammit, I was hoping that was an OP update

Establish early on if it’s a proper date, or two friends/ work colleagues having a drink

DTF?

Date? To both of you?

Sounds like a concerned workmate unless you were more overt.

Either way, have a shower & pack your toothbrush just in case ;)

I went on the press launch for the 290 out in Barcelona earlier in the year.

Awesomely fast car, effortless almost…. Which means you don’t feel as involved as you would in some cars, but it doesn’t detract from it’s fun.

And yes…. check out SCN :) I’ve been running it for 15yrs

Look at another one, but I suspect it’s just where it is…. Even a misbehaving teenager would struggle to muller a clutch in 22k

I probably wouldn’t stick it on an MTB forum so other people can bid on it too.

Yup, I was always taught to leave a spacer on top. Can’t remember why now, but I still do it.

Can you get a lower stacking headset or shorter stack stem?

I picked a bleed kit up from ebay for not too much, and it’ll do probably a dozen bleeds.

I’d start with a bleed. Of the reverb, not some post crash ritual.

ratswithwings – good call on the campsite.

Had two nights at Grawen, although there aren’t anywhere near enough toilets or showers I just learned when the right time of day to go was.

Good site, would stay again :)

Mondeo ST220 Estate? Ages since I’ve been in one, but I remember it was nice sounding, fast & leathery inside

I wouldn’t wear my 661 on anything more than a downhill run.

It’s not pleasant for more than 8-10 mins max, certainly not just pottering.

You need a removable chin bar type thing like the Bell Super 2R if you’re wanting to ride (rather than descend) I think

Another vote for Houdini Strap.

I might have our old one somewhere, but they’re cheap enough to pick up.

It worked until she understood the reasons why

Isn’t the approved STW way of dealing with this situation to ignore the wife’s suggestion

I thought that was just the general thing men did. Wasn’t restricted to STW

Are you sure it’s a wasps nest? Go and give it a big kick to see.

I’d get it killed though, and seal up however the little bastards got in.

she won’t be coming in for the last 2 days of her contract and that actually she’d rather not be given any work to do in the last week either as she’d prefer to wind down.

“would it be more convenient if we just ended the contract a week earlier?” Obviously only paying her for her attendance.

To be fair, she’ll be more disruptive if she was there so you’d be as well to pay her and not have her around, plus you get the added fun of taking a pass off her & escorting her off site

I bet Mark doesn’t link this on their Facebook page.

Just silicon sealant into the speaker?

Cheers, I’ve dropped them an email.

I’m in my car, so if the bikes are in the back there’s no room for me!

What is that? Like three spectators for the medals?

Hard racing though

Vendee. Long long drives otherwise with nippers

What are the bikes?

Really really not round.

I doubt the circumference would be sufficient.

What are those spacers made of?

been playing online chess for the last week. against the easiest opponent. probably 50/50 win rate now.
any tips for getting better at it?

Find someone who started playing today, and you’ll always be a week better at it

Repeat as required

http://www.avantiplus.co.nz/products/MIPT0N811 – would that work on your not round tri bars?

wimp :) Fair call though

What’s the setup like on the bits of the aero bar you hold onto? Where the brake levers are.

Any opportunity to put a ’round’ bracket on there?

I’m 99% sure the exposure mount I have can rotate freely once you loosen the bolt

I’d glue a mount to the bars, and probably a couple of security zip ties

they are so busy and so pushed to finish that they have to run/jog/trot to keep up with the truck so they drop the bins where they finish

IIRC, that’s because of Job & Knock not because they have performance targets

Love my Norco Torrent, but I have some 29er wheels for when it’s properly muddy….

Comparing Strava times, I’m as quick (if not quicker) than my other bikes on all but the places I’d take my FS trail bike

Maybe your wifes settings… Where she needs to approve any tagging

lock up in the middle of gunwharf

AKA Portsmouth Bike Theft central.

Good call on going somewhere else on the way in (Meon Valley, QECP etc)
