    I was hesitant but decided to have my first jab . 7 month down the line i’m still having regular hospital appointments. I would probably get medical exemption after what happened or maybe they would tell me to have a different jab. Either way I still want the decision left up to me as to when or if I get another Jab.

    Forced vacination should not be an option no matter how bad things get. I’ve had one Jab won’t have another. I’m not sure they would get away with it here but I bet they would try.

    A T5 is takes up a lot of room and also does more damage to environment than a lot of smaller cars. Does this give the right to anyone who drives a smaller car to do this sort of thing to vans. Not all are business vehicles. Think it’s more about the dislike of the type of driver associated with these type of car. Who decides what size of car is fair game. It’s wrong

    My son and daughter had it and they both got toothache before testing positive. Wife and I both avoided it even though took five days for both to show positive after symptoms started.

    Had my 1st AZ on 1st of April felt fine for first couple of days “Other half felt bad same night for a couple of days” I felt rough around 48h after just for a few hours. had a dull headache “very rare I get any headaches other than self inflicted ones” and lack of energy ever since. Seems to be getting better now after having a few days off bike.

    I have a Highroad and it fits my Rallon XL 1253mm wheelbase it is close to the limit but strap holds it fine. It is very easy to fit and use.

    Just serviced my One Up after 2 1/2 years use. Kit cost £11 post has no play now and works well easy job to do. I did have to re grease the bush a couple of time before i serviced it but its so easy to do so not a problem. I have just got a fox which came on a bike so far it’s very nice but it is new.

    Various transit vans that we were free to roll around in the back of “it was the 70’s” first car was a green Hillman Avenger estate. He once got stopped by police because Yorkshire Ripper was thought to be driving a crappy green Avenger at the time.

    Yes used them a couple of times. Best price for lights at the time by a long way. Items arrived both times really quick.

    Really happy with my Toro. Got my mk 12 for £236 so bit over budget.Reflex mode seems to work well 3hrs on full power so plenty of time for my night rides.

    I’ve just got Toro from SDJ also. Got it for £235 with extra 20% off it seems really good after first ride. SDJ delivery fastest i’ve seen and customer service seems really good.

    Grips black. Pedals silver because after a few month’s that’s the colour my pedals end up whatever colour I start with.

    I have a lifeline one from CRC it was around £15 and has lasted far better than the rockshox ones i’ve had. Think its 2 years old now still works fine.

    Seen quite a few signs asking people to wear gloves when opening gates. To me its all a bit pointless i’m sure gloves carry virus just as well as skin. I’m also a farmer who lives next to a bridle way with lots of gates. I’m also not going all neurotic about people opening gates on my land. Unlike some of my ranting Facebook friends

    I’ve been using Deore for a few years with 11 spd SLX mech with a 34t chainring. Not the lightest but neither is rest of my bike. usually get a year plus out of it then i swap over to hardtail for another year. i usually pay around £25-£30 for one. Untill they stop making them i dont think i’ll upgrade to 11 spd.

    Specialized used to have 30 day trial on saddles so you should be ok which ever one you go for. I prefer Phenom over henge tried henge first. Im 230lb had saddle around 3 years now.

    Boomslang pedals really good for grip but cracked the little trapdoor that holds the needle bearing. Specialized dont do this as a spare part so pedal useless now.Burgtec do all parts for penthouse so much better option for me. Using with boost axle as i have big feet. Dont find grip a problem but not as grippy as spesh ones.

    Was a rather good weekend. Got a lot to live up to. Stages not really hard but they are pretty quick so all good fun.Plenty of difficult events around so makes a nice change.

    Sunday’s Sport race is the full race it’s meant to just be non competitive. They do tape some of the drops off sometimes and there is a lot more traffic to deal with.Prefered the Saturday version.

    My black Penthouse pedals have had that much hammer in the 2 years I have had them they are mainly raw aluminium now. I did break an axle on one. Guys at Burgtec were spot on. Sent me 2 new boost axles out same day. Which is a lot more than i can say for specialized who dont even supply spares other than bearing kits for their Boomslang pedals.

    I have a moon vortex pro for helmet and a storm pro for bars. Used them last winter found them really good. got vortex for just over £40 and storm for £60 seemed to be a good price. Storm quite a bit heavier than vortex. Would not like Storm on my helmet.

    Did Sunday last year. Last group to go traffic was pretty bad. Really enjoyed it. Mate managed to get me a Saturday ticket. Down as mid pack riders. We are in a group with some blokes called Danny Hart and Sam Dale setting off early. Not nervous at all. Got a feeling might hear rider shouted from behind a few times.

    Ordered a tyre back in May kept getting delayed. Cancelled order no refund. Offered me a 15% discount on next order for inconvenience. Understand companys go bankrupt but to try get me to buy something else that had no chance of turning up is pretty shitty.

    Hope E4 here not sure about lack of power i’m around 17st and can lock breaks up when i want on anything. I run 203 and 180 rotors. They are a bit noisey at moment with cheap sintered pads in. I have SLX on hardtail they have been good lack of spares and not as nice feel to them is the difference.
