my fellow STW’ers, ask not what your copy & paste can do for you, ask what you can do for your copy & paste

that’s your sister dude

Plagiarism?

I last bought a bike on credit in 2001 (Spec Enduro FSR).

I bought a Bianchi Via Nirone via R2W/C2W/Cyclescheme in 2007

I bought a YT Capra last year and I bought a Canyon Ultimate last month both for

I earn a lot more now than I did in 2001

I was 52 last week but have ridden 8,500 km year to date and am on track for 10,000 km for the year.

I can also ride all day, 150 miles/250 km and will average 15mph/23kph or can ride Cat 1 or HC mountains in France.

Over the last couple of years I have noticed that my fitness has definite peaks and troughs so it’s just about identifying whether I’m at a peak and maintaining that or in a trough and how to manage that.

I’m happy enough

a bottle of water. a litre of water is more expensive than a litre of petrol

the actual material and cost of manufacturing the frames and lenses are minuscule. you are paying for the brand name and a bit of the opticians expertise/training/qualifications or scarcity value.

we could also do the lemonade bottle/ghetto tubeless inflator thingamajig

zip-loc freezer bags to keep phones, cash, other valuables together and bone dry

Darn Leicester riders, they were all over the place last season, strutting around in their underpants.

They are a bit quieter now :wink:

as this guy says on Twitter

“How are so many people JUST NOW offended by Trump? It’s like getting to the 7th Harry Potter book & realizing Voldemort might be a bad guy.“

Anyway for what it’s worth my little story is that I’m a regular kinda guy. Take my daily constitutional right after breakfast and that’s it, nothing else is required until shortly after tomorrow’s brekkie.

I was lucky enough to go to New York a couple of years ago and we went to one of those typical diners where you get a frankly ridiculous pastrami on rye that looked summit like this

It came with a big bowl of pickles too.

I demolished it all and we left but shortly after my stomach started flip-flopping. I hunted around for the nearest bogs which happened to be in the Trump Tower and the world literally fell out of my bottom. It was a nasty business.

Ever since then my wife and kids refer to the time I took ‘a dump in the Trump’.

Now that Trump has shown his true colours I’m quite proud of that.

I have little comment on this and no axe to grind for or against teachers (fine job, I couldn’t do it) other than to say can we please not include travel time in working hours

It was an ageing Matt Damon Ashley, Hanks character died.

Oi! I had that car as a teen in the early 1980’s and it’s bronze, not brown. It’s a fine example of the classic Ford Capri mark II. I had a much nicer, wider set of wheels on mine (but no furry dice).

However, brown cars do always make me think of the Austin All-Aggro which my dad showed an interest in when i was living back at home.

We persuaded him against it and got a nice mk III 2L Cortina instead.

I was wearing a “Life behind Bars” T-Shirt …

I had never even seen those before I read this post yesterday which also happened to be my birthday.

I got home and my wife and two adult boys (25 and 23) had bought me some presents. I open them up and my youngest has bought me this (see below); as from last night it’s my favourite bike t-shirt (and he’s my new favourite son)!

, but chateau to those who can.

Have one on the house that man ;)

I’ve just bought an Ultimate. Ordered from them on 19th August as ‘in stock’ and delivered on 26th September.

It was a bit painful to be honest including them sending me an invoice for a specific amount £x,xxx-97 which I paid but then sat in their unpaid accounts team for about three weeks cos the four or five items that were on the invoice actually added up to £x,xxx-98 (no, I didn’t check and nor did they).

It took more than a dozen emails and tweets before they sorted it.

Lovely bike though…

no brown in town? This might have been the rule in the 80’s and 90’s. Well actually it was the rule in the 80’s and 90’s but not now.

Pretty much anything goes, especially socially.

I thought this one was going to be a big hit but nil, nothing, nada.

That is until David Bowie went on to steal the riff and release it as his own

cut out the carbs. Exercise more

the actual raw footage? Never.

I will shoot loads of footage and then edit the highlights into a short film (max 5 minutes) with accompanying music to remind myself/those I rode with of whatever cycling trip I have been on.

I will watch those edited highlights frequently, some more than others depending on how much i enjoyed the trip/how well I edited the movie. After a few months when I am certain that i don’t want to edit another movie i will delete the raw footage.

ride with the fast group but surely if you are doing a charidee ride of 100 km then the fast group’s average speed will be 25-27 km/h with 700 metres of climbing.

If they are averaging 16-17 mph then you are doing a 60 mile charidee ride with 2300 feet of climbing #dontmixnmatch

But seriously, get the route on Garmin so you can follow it home if you get dropped, take some gels/energy bars cos if you are pushing harder than normal you will more than likely bonk if you aren’t replenishing food and water and go for the fast group.

What’s the worst that can happen?

More fallout for Corbyn following train stunt[/url]

I imagine cashflow would be an issue too. Depending on location you may only have clients for the summer so you need to make enough/have alternative income to last you over the winter.

dude, you just dropped a shed load of cash on some bling wheels and you are going to ruin them because you can’t wait for the pads?

Can’t you just get some from the LBS?

EDIT: my car has run out of diesel and I can’t get anymore until Monday but I want to drive it on Sunday.

Will it be alright if I put petrol in it?

The MTB-IDLE one?

That’s a rather unkind pic I took of Hora on Barry Knows Best in the Surrey Hills.

my money is on being dehydrated especially if you are riding/sweating a lot and not replenishing. Had it myself a few years ago.

Drink more water and the odd nuun tablet every now and then to replace the minerals you are sweating out.

it’s good but it’s very buggy and prone to crashing. save frequently (the autosave seems to play a big part in the regular crashing).

I have one of those in my garage right now (but I don’t think I ever had it stuck on my rear window).

isn’t the front brake on the right a thing only related to the dominance of Japanese motorbikes?

Didn’t I read somewhere that the front brake used to be on the left on English motorbikes? (I could be wrong)

carb free diet for two weeks. Boom

good stuff, told ya!

So what has happened to the disc brake trials?

They are going to trial them again next season apparently

More than one place, on the floor, under jumps in corners on trees. Just got a saddle mount. The more varied the more interesting the footage

as mike says but yeah chest mount mainly for me. Make sure you angle it up at 45 degrees to the base plate to get a good pic. Seems far too high when you look at it but as soon as you get in position on your bike it will be perfect.

Oh and for road bikes a selfie stick is also useful for alternative views as per my vid below
