Its at times like these I wish I didn't procrastinate so much.
As I have to hand in this essay tomorrow, its the rules that I have to start it at about 9pm the night before. Finding text books and papers to reference is almost procrastination, so that has already been done…
along with:
Booking a holiday
ordering a bike frame
buying shiny bike bits
bought coffee
made coffee
drank coffee
arranged to meet up with friends after hand in time

Tracey, when are you going over to Verbier this summer??

Be great to meet up with you and your family again!
I'm just about to send an email off to Lucy and Phil to get myself sorted, and I shall be visiting my LBS to order a suitable bike upgrade :D

Michael

go and book the holiday!
Did it last summer, would go out there again on my own but only if I was joining a group with a guide.
I'll probably try and go along the same time as the people I met up with last summer… As chakaping said, you'll get some more friends that way!

my parents have had a few things from Treske (based in Thirsk) might be worth a look? clicky[/url]

I had 'fun' setting mine up. Not with a BT homehub, but with a netgear summatorother.

First you need to set it up with the Airport express connected to your homehub with an ethernet cable.
wipe all the settings you've tried to use before.
Go through setting it up to join an existing network (wired) then once that is working, go back to change the settings to wireless connection.
You'll need to put a # in front of your wireless password to get it to work (no I don't know why!)

buy mine

Postierich – I'll be at Sherwood Pines on my Swift…
Feel free to try and kick dust into my eyes :wink:

Leggyblond – it'll be 32×18. placing in the top 10 is all good by me!

round 4 race 3?
after lunch?
weather looking ok?
I might just have to be there with my wagon wheels :-)

oooh didn't realise they were racing at Sherwood pines this weekend…
Will race singlespeed if I can get up early enough on the Sunday, and ride to the start…

going into my final year in a few weeks time… being a 'mature' student is great :roll:
should be good as I will have a little more time for bikes as I've been working for the last year on a placement. :D

was great to meet you all out there, and yes Lucy and Phil run an amazing place! was very impressed.
had a quick look through the pics, so happy there are non of me slowly picking my way down the mountains…
just got to plan my next trip now! :D

Michael

well if someone else want to own a piece of history…
anyone want to buy one of the 2nd gen Enduros?

Its a 2004 Enduro, Sliver, XL size.
XT and LX bits, with hope hoops (Pro2 on DT Swiss 5.1s), CK headset, Pikes, Thompson post, and mono M4s.
Could sell as a frame if you wish??

took my 2004 Enduro over to Verbier last week.. a great bike but quite out of it's depth there. Quite good here though.
At 5 years old now, it's time for a new bike me thinks. That's what all the creaking told me.

Sadly the CCTV on the bus will have been wiped. It just keeps an hour of footage, and the drivers have a button to keep 1 hour of footage (30mins before button press, 30mins after) – this is from talking to the drivers after spending far too much time commuting into Nottingham.
Some of the NCT drivers are alright, but then I very rarely get on a city bus. The NCT ones I get on go out into deepest Nottinghamshire. (have a guess where I’m from)

got to wait for far to long to go to Verbier… but off there in August! just got the last little bit sorted this week

I’ve got a pair of Mavic TN719 rims on Hope Pro2 hubs. They seem to be doing well.

Matt, on a semi serious note.. how would someone go about getting a job, where they would get similar benefits? :wink:
I should be graduating in less than 18 months probably with completely the wrong qualifications for that sort of thing, but working for a corporate giant on a placement year at the moment has really shown me how much I don’t like living in cities any more.

my Singular seems to have done ok and I’ve had it about 6 months now…
(runs off to check forks)

Well, I entered… must remember to change from rolling Nottinghamshire countryside gear, to something a little easier before this one! unlike last year :wink:

Thanks for organising it all Cinnamon Girl! and thanks also to Forge197, great to be taken round such good trails!

Anyone else there on a 29er?? I didn’t spot any. Might have to get some bouncy forks for mine soon… my hands hurt too much now!

Mike

I shall try and show my face. (I’ll be the tall bloke looking lost, as I always do)

Hairychested, I will be getting the train there too. I’m just a little bit further into London around Syon Lane.
