    My previous van had a tail gate, current van has barn doors.

    If you use the back doors to get in and out a barn door is more convenient. For just loading bikes in the back then I’d be hard pressed to choose between the two.

    That’s one murderous looking pussy.

    “Fife Council doesn’t currently accept reports from third party reporting sites such as Fill That Hole.”

    Fife council are useless, they don’t do anything if you report via their unnecessarily complicated website either.

    I’ve had good results with disposable foot warmers and winter boots at the Puffer but I don’t like them for regular usage as they’re single use.

    It’s been decreed that must socialise.

    I’d rather be hanging out of the sofa with Mrs Fiend.

    I’m more than half way through after today’s ride, which is handy as tomorrow’s forecast is a yellow warning for wind, snow & rain. So I think a day off is in order.

    130km down today, the outward leg battering into a headwind was tiring but the homeward leg with a tail wind was great fun until I got stuck on the Dundee side of the Tay Bridge because the walk way was closed due to high winds. I got rescued by one of the bridge staff who gave me a lift back to Fife in the pick-up.  I ended up with a Performance Enhanced Diesel KoM over the bridge so I hid my ride before the Stravaites sharpened their pitchforks.

    Short 30km planned for tomorrow since its going to be passing it down.

    No it’s not enough

    Very much this. Otherwise you’ll forget you’re riding on ice, right up until you throw it into a corner and your rear wheel overtakes you and you slam into the frozen ground.

    Who’s that woman next to him? And more importantly, why has she not repeatedly stabbed him in the face with that flag thing?

    It’s Julia Hartley-Brewer.

    By any chance was this about 10+ years ago?

    Last September actually. Kevlar pads on the rear.

    “Look mum, no teeth”
    I’ve had multiple pads by Superstarcompnents where the friction material has come away from the backing plate.
    They have less friction material than the OE pads too.

    I’ll stick to OE pads over the likes of superstar etc.

    They keep threatening him with jail if the fines don’t stop him breaking the embargo, so they must have a plan….

    Massive selection, decent price (it didn’t have to be the absolute cheapest), fast and consistent delivery

    This was what CRC were good at but when Wiggle and the private equity vultures bought in, the range of products contracted and slowly they stopped being the go to online retailer. The website “upgrade” was the final nail in the coffin, other online retailers were just easier to use.

    I feel bad for the staff and the suppliers who may get shafted if they collapse, whilst the ones who made the mess likely walk away unscathed.

    Sounds a lot like my ACL rupture. Left acl rupture, tear in the miniscal cartilage and sprain/strain to all the other soft tissue in the knee.
    Initial injury in March 2022 & reconstruction in February this year. I’m just back to martial arts now having been back on bike 5 months post surgery. All feels nearly normal and should get better as I ramp up the exercise.
    I’m 50 and according to the consultant physio I saw at the first knee clinic, at the upper end of the age range for reconstruction. Orthopaedic consultant was fine to do the reconstruction once I explained I wanted to get back to martial arts.

    After the initial injury it took 6 months or so to settle down enough to start prehab at the gym & I think it was 3 months or so and I was back doing gentle cycling (don’t mention riding the Macavalance with a heavily strapped knee 2 weeks after the injury).
    Anything that involved twisting was out though.

    If sport is his life I’d push for ACL reconstruction, especially if its football and snowboarding as you need a stable knee for that.
    A word of warning, the first 6 weeks post surgery are hell. I seriously wondered why the **** I’d done it given the step back it felt like but 38 weeks down the line I’m glad I had the reconstruction.

    If you go for the Lake MXZ304s make sure the velcro flap over the boa is properly secured at the toes when it’s raining otherwise they fill with water as the tongue isn’t bellowed.

    If you remember that they keep your feet dry and toasty warm.

    Have any of your toilets or u-bends gone dry?

    If it really chucks it down the volume of water going down the sewer at the back of our house can create enough of a vacuum to pull the water sitting in the downstairs loo round the bend so there’s no water trap and it can get a bit stinky.

    But why?

    My track pump wasn’t doing the job, I didn’t have a compressor or an airshot and I’d used both my CO2 canisters.
    Also I wanted to see if I could😈

    Last time I did this I wrapped a bit of inner tube round the hub and clamped it in a vice so I could undo the freehub body. It was on BFT!

    The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 bans pavement parking, double parking and parking at dropped kerbs, and gives local authorities the relevant powers to enforce these new provisions. The Scottish government are still consulting on enforcement.

    You can get window grills or blanks to fit on the inside of the rear doors as an extra layer of security for not too much money.

    They will also protect the glass from slamming the back door on a protruding handle bar😒

    I went for one of These to keep the sun off my bald head this summer.

    By the time I’d finished with it looks more Revolting Cocks than Indiana Jones though.

    Tarp hat have an ebay shop where they sell seconds. This one cost me around 20 quid.
