If it’s proper cold and blue tooth is on for tracking via phone my garmin 25 is just about dead in 3 hrs.

Garmin 25 very poor battery life

Was planning to meet old mtb club at cannock but looking like dog and monkey are closed due to doris

As previously said Gaddesden row to Whipsnade then across via Edlesborough to ashridge. I used to live in Hemel but managed to escape I’ve stravad a few rides if you want to have a look.

Think that’s the entry fee and 20 lumped on for parking your car by your tent

Just had my kitchen plastered I was told 50 /50 for first mist coat then one with a 60/40 paint water.

Canyon chopper, jump off the stratosphere a proper buzz!

Battery life on edge 25 is pretty awful always worry about running out of juice on a big day out

My suspiscion is that the verge is considered part of the road and therefore belongs to the council and you cannot put rocks on it – but I may be wrong.
Years ago I was going down a country road and huge tractor appeared around the corner I was approaching and forced me to go onto the verge which had been decorated with rocks.
That cost me about £400 for two new tyres and a new alloy wheel for my Volvo V70

If I’d known about the verge ownership thing then I’d have taken him to court

I remember my brother done a similar thing. In my dad’s brand new company car 8O.

Just an itch at the moment so not sure of budgets. Had a new bird aeris last year so will have to tread carefully with the other half :-) not sure if I can say the new kitchen just being fitted is hers so I want a new bike

I’m with Hastings direct for my van 07 vivaro. 290 fully comp but I’ve not got a big payout on my insurance history

Clicked to download to my kindle just have to find it now :-)

If you lost alot of stans worth topping it up

Thanks for that will see if I pick it out on the map

Inbred 29er
Giant trance
Bird aeris
Skinny wheeled thing

Trance is dead long live the bird

I’ve killed a few in my time ?

Both

I keep getting the same one

Well I can say what the garmin looses in battery life it gains in waterproofing, worked fine when switched on today

Does mountain biking get any funding?

Done it almost every year! So much easier just sorting your self out instead of people messing you about.
Been with trail addiction in the Alps and singletracksafari to Andorra

Not a surfing convert but windsurfing. A few of us from brogbrough lake started heading over to Woburn on the light wind days. Moved to the northwest (closer to the coast) but now married (happily) I’m just a summer holiday windsurfer now.
Still got all the kit other than a winter wetsuit keep having the sell it or use it argument.
As others have said it’s easier to keep the family happy with a half day away on the bike than a full day chasing wind n waves that may never be found

Andorra? Vallnord Been a few times with singletracksafari. bit of a long transfer but worth it when you get there. Park and natural riding.
Just seen you are taking the wife tax free shopping and a huge spa

Had the same at tweeks without even checking the web price they just charged the web price

Can’t recommend a place but get some lessons at one of the indoor real snow slopes before you go

Maybe getting rid of a 14″ inbred frame soon. Manchester area

Trousers when it’s proper minging stops shoes filling up with water

The stop cock nearest isn’t always the correct one. My last house had water meter/stop cock in the pavement outside my neighbours house his was outside mine. Queue lots of cock ups with water bills and meter readings

Some rebas are a bit less than 120mm. I got about 115 out of mine

I can’t say I have felt any flex in my aeris

Wera ones are what I use at work, nice and distinctive no one can thief them.
Sleeves can come loose but a bit of tape around the shaft sorts that

Just had a go for the day out and the missus could see how slow I really am on a bike. I managed to get the full 3 laps but only just hooter went about 20seconds into my last lap.

Regularly cycle along slag lane :-)

Ex mining area

Baggy shorts over the lycra?

New aeris @ 145mm rather than changeable from 140 to 150

Is it not the 120mm travel aeris?

Oops says 145 on the stickers

Are you anywhere close to the real snow places in the UK? Getting the basics before you go will make things a lot easier

Oscars in kings langley would be my choice

Where I work everything gets sorted in the tea room plastic, paper, cans. Then it all gets put in the general waste skip !

Tried to only wash when really dirty. I was always under the impression
Dirt blocks the micro holes and stops the moisture getting out and washing breaks down the coating that keeps the rain out
