There’s something like this out there already. I know because my sister had a pair. We spent 15 minutes on a windswept Irish mountain trying to stop them blowing away while she tried to put them on.

E-Z Grip Sphincter Lock! God, I hope there’s a patent for that.

Very, very little.

^Feelings and thoughts are not the same as truth or reality. Depression turns your brain into a lying bastard. Because you are intelligent you are used to believing what your mind tells you but you can’t always.

Contact lens fluid.

As long as you reference your sources, where’s the problem?

Once you’ve had depression it’s hard to go back, it’s like stripping away the veneer that gives life a purpose and once you’ve seen how pointless and futile it is you can’t unsee it.

Very perceptive. Setting little goals and targets is really important in dealing with depression because if you only try to see the big picture you would never get out of bed.
One of the first things I tried with my CBT counsellor was doing something I used to enjoy and hadn’t done for a long time. She told me to make a point of doing this every day; just making time for yourself and doing nothing of any importance – just something nice for the hell of it.

If it’s a mountain bike club, is there a local trail centre where you could help fund trail building?

, but chateau to those who can.

Tasting notes?

It’s all typical of the shite we spend our money on rather than pay more taxes and have pot-hole free roads to drive on.

The secret is to keep busy.

Blooming’ “Take 5” by Dave Brubeck, thanks to it being used as the intro music for a play I was in last week.
Love the Ram Jam vid by the way – never seen that!

Turn off the phone, wifi etc so nobody can disturb you.

Generally speaking you can still find the track if it hasn’t been turned into a road or ploughed out of existence for forestry.

Where I live there’s been a lot of opencast mining. You can see where it is by comparing the ancient and modern field patterns.

It can get very messy – with horrifically long and arcane arguments over whether rights were public or private, up your way the old track to riddlehamhope is a prime example.

On the other hand, you might get them through unopposed. Anyway, I like annoying truculent land owners.

I’ve already found several rights of way around me that are on the definitive map as footpaths but shown as BR (bridle Roads) on the old OS maps.

looks like a lot of the trails I ride already pre-date those maps

This is the thing – in 1886 nobody gave a monkey’s about footpaths/bridleways etc. Those designations didn’t exist. fact is, if there was a track and it had easy access at either end, people probably used it – for work, not leisure. By horse, bike, foot, cart.

Must have done all of 8 miles on the Beamish Oddsox easy ride but that was great because it was my first mtb ride since I broke my shoulder. We had a barbie after.

This from a 10 year old kid, as we rode past. On the tandem.

Truly, all human knowledge is here!
I love the inclusion of the driver and fireman as parts.

0. Thrilled.

Is it different from the 2015 hanger? I’ve broken several.

Maybe he’s hoping one of the riders hits a log and jacks off over the bars in front of him.

MIPS with everything

Personally I hated the bike bus, worst journey ever. We picked it up from Stockton, though, so it make for an unbelievably long, uncomfortable ride. Especially as it broke down somewhere near Milton Keynes.

fed up of seeing cyclists killed and that driver got 3 years and a fine and six points.

Fixed.
I’ve just posted a link to the blog to my Police Commissioner, asking for action here. Let’s see if he actually does anything.

Bless you!

Just had a Mordue’s NZ Pale Ale. Too bitter for me.
So I had sn Allendale Pale Ale.
Life definitely looks brighter with two pints of good ale in you.

She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting

Ah, the Owl Service. Great book too!
