I’m inclined to agree with him.

WTF

Genuinely hope Darren and anyone else donating catch a mild dose

Avengers Endgame. I’ve never watched the series so have taken the time with lockdown and Disney + (and free credits from Google opinion’s) to watch them all in chronological order

Though a lot of the film’s were pretty unmemorable, infinity war and Endgame were superb

It’s absolutely pointless comparing reach on a DH bike to another from the same brand (V10/Hightower)

Somethings definitley afoot with Priti Patel, Kay Burley just grilled a Tory MP about her whereabouts/what shes doing and he was unconvincng with every answer. Its probably as simple that shes toxic and will say something controversial like hanging/deporting anyone breaking lockdown rules

Regarding summer holidays I noticed this morning that FCO advice has changed to an indefinite travel restriction

Gove self isolating now, truly end of days

Of course they’re going to downplay it he’s the Prime Minister FFS. There’s a whole multitude of countries that would love to use the situation to their advantage

Obviously hope he makes it but, the thought of Raab (scary enough) in charge with the den of **** that is Gove, Moog etc manouvering behind him is frightening

With Cummings out of the picture as well, the head of the snake has been well and truly cut off

Have we done the Tiger in New York catching it BBC

I’ve known Amelie most of her life and you couldn’t wish to meet a nicer more genuine person. She proper knows her music as well, though alot of her sets go a bit leftfield for me.

As much as I love her, Charlotte de Witte is my Queen

Honestly, I couldn’t be less arsed if I tried.

The perplexing thing is why does a student/escort go to the Sun for 5k when she gets a grand a night (she’s not even that good looking either) and ruins the rest of her life

They’ll only be one winner out of this story and it’s not her

Not surprised to see Liverpool who claim to be the bastions of socialism joining Spurs and furloughing all their staff (spurs and Liverpool are the 2 most profitable teams in the league).

Good on all the rest of the premier League teams who have committed to pay their staff for the rest of the season or at least to the end of April

It’s probably new thread worthy but “modern football” as we know it is finished, or at least till the latest TV deal runs out

Next weekend is the real test, for everyone of us furloughed/WFH there’s also people still having to go into work and next weekend will be their first chance this year to properly blow off steam

I’m pleasantly surprised by how well the majority have done thus far

Its not heavy handed at all, the park is closed. Already the park is viewed as a nuisance by the powers that be and a serious (or any kind of) injury would cause a whole world of problems.

You can tell already its going to be a scorcher today

Locally quite a few people were caught riding Aston Hill yesterday. anyone caught from today will be handed with a lifetime ban

Not surprised the forums biggest attention seeker has revealed his true colours

@somafunk ignore the bellends and try to make the best of it like the most of us are

And what comment do we have on momentum already saying that they’re looking forward to “holding the new leadership to account”?

Sounds like the opposition, to me…

I said in the old thread that the new leader wouldn’t be able to unite the party, let alone the country and judging by left wing Twitter today it’s already proven true.

Guardian also reporting that Neil Ferguson is suggesting we could be out of lockdown in weeks if we can behave ourselves this weekend

He said this, end of may is another 6 weeks.

That moves us to a slightly more pessimistic scenario.

We still think things will plateau but we’ll be at quite high levels of infection for weeks and weeks rather than seeing quite a rapid decline as the type seen in China.

We want to move to a situation where at least by the end of May that we’re able to substitute some less intensive measures, more based on technology and testing, for the complete lockdown we have now.

@Edukator has anything been said in France on how long lockdown/restrictions are going to last? I know its probably not going to happen but my Morzine savings pot could be spent on a new frame

That Scunthorpe page is obviously a wind up but, unfortunately its probably going to get a cyclist seriously injured this weekend

I’m bored out of my brain. I’m watching movies/Netflix etc but about 50% of it goes in

It doesn’t help that my job is always outside and quite social. God knows how I’m going to get through if it’s extended for another 3 weeks. Nor am I sure how much work they’ll be if it’s extended, the developer whose site I’m currently on are in a world of trouble with this lockdown add to that a shortage of bricks in the UK (that started a couple of months ago) and they could hit a perfect storm and go under

tjagain doesn’t stop winning this week

As a rule of thumb when upgrading shocks I tend to go with whatever the top end model is specced with. So I’d go for an RC3

@pedlad put your fork serial number in here and it’ll give you all your possible upgrades

Can’t believe weve gone to arguing about Horses, roll on next weeks installment

A charger 2.1 is what you want

The lady from Public Health England just said they’re seeing a concerning rise in vehicle traffic so I’d say no. But that was the answer anyway

This threads ripe for a feature in the mag by @stwhannah now we have our first injury and waste of the NHS’s time (glad to see your ok @velocipede).

I’ve been looking for cheap bikes close to me to get out and about (as I only have a DH bike) and saw this corker Enduro

It’s probably been asked @TiRed but I take it you do stuff like this for a living?

No, a 135mm hope hub can only be converted to 142/148. If you want to stick with hope I believe they have a fatbike specific version

Ebikes are going nowhere. I can see peoples buying habits changing after this and just having one big MTB purchase every 3-5 yrs and ebikes fit that category perfectly

On credit, its already started. I was looking at CX bikes and clicked through to the Klarna option and it said they were only accepting applications with a salary of £60k

There’s a huge shortage at the moment as it’s another by product of lockdown panic buying (esp ring fit adventure) Amazon had lites in stock earlier

I’m in the same boat @P-Jay mtbbeds are saying they’re hoping to go ahead with the summer season but they won’t cancel untill FCO advice is not to travel in August, then they will discuss options. But they still want full payment by mid june

Anyone explain the discrepancy between the two numbers?

Your username should be outofdate, if you’re going to be an armchair expert at least try and keep up

Official FCO travel advice is what you need current advice is no travel until April 15

If you try to cancel for a date after that you’ll probably get hit with cancellation charges

Daily death toll is 393, shits starting to get very real

I think I posted it in the coronavirus thread a month or so ago. But, I was out for a ride with someone who deals with the biggest uk distributor and he said that 2020 production was already way behind and there was talk of missing out “2021” and going straight to 2022 ranges

I hit a proper low yesterday with the lack of proper social interaction/outdoor exercise (only have a DH bike).

But todays a new day the sun is shining, so I’m going to take a walk to some local fields with small wooded bits and see if anythings buildable. Then hit the garden and try to plan a weeks worth of stuff that needs doing
