Been working as a contract design draughtsman for a York company for almost 2 years. Today the boss called me into his office and offered me a permanent job. Really happy

I have one. Really like it. Used it on saturday to follow a route from an external website. Screen just shows the line, but more than adequate to stop from getting lost. As said the battery is decent. Was on for more than 6 hours and only a small fraction was used up.
Latest software update means its easier to download/upload date to and from the device. Thought it was a faff before.
Mine was about £175, I think the new OS one is a fair bit more. But I believe that the screen is a little bit bigger ???

I had a snugpak jacket. Good for mooching around in the cold. But as soon as it got energetic I thought it was too warm. Heard that the Buffalo jackets are better if you are more active.

I used to commute on this road when I worked in Baildon. Thats actually a dodgy bend if you are not careful.
Driving to work one morning and hit a greasy patch on the road (had weeks of sun, then rain made the road slippy as surface oil hadnt washed off). Car ended up going towards the edge, opposite lock and flipped back a couple of seconds before I went over the side. Proper brown trouser moment.

Looks like its by the entrance to the museum gardens.

That’s Trevor Rooney. Does ghost walk tours, and hangs round in touristy pubs as a self made tourist attraction.

Phew, glad you liked it. Cracking place isn’t it. Nice beers as well.

Just done toast for my lass. Peanut butter and nutella.

No worries bud.

And £130 from wiggle at the moment. Tempted myself.

Scotts arms in sicklinghall is good. Think its around an hour from Leeds.

Xfusion hilo comes with post lever and kit to convert to remote if needed. Think its also available as 27.2 dia as well.

edit. Doh, beaten to it

We had it on pancakes today :D

Wierdly we have a jar, un-opened in the cupboard. Been there 2-3 weeks. The shame of it :?

Warm a chapatti, smear with Nutella. Roll up and eat.

Tend to do a couple of mine then crack open the guests wine.
Personally I would be a tad miffed if I took some nice wine to a dinner party and the hosts opened it for another time.

+1 for despicable me.
watched it last weekend and wasn’t expecting much. Was brilliantly good fun. The minions were the superstars

Wonder if they show one if his films on tv as a homage if he pegs it.

Attempted a 17 mile off road ride. Pushed bikes across two really claggy muddy fields. Tyres looked like a fat bike. Mates were getting in a mood. 3 miles into the ride they called it a day. I stayed out and did a 25 mile ride home.

Stayed in leyburn a few times. Plenty of pubs and coffee shops. If its open that time of year, check out forbidden corner. Amazing way to spend a day. Kids and adults will love it.

There’s a nice self catering place in Thornton rust called little nettle (i think). We stayed in the smaller property called the piggery. No pubs there, but a short walk to askrigg which has a brill pub where all creatures great and small was filmed.

Just finished mine. Cauliflower curry and a banana curry. Banana one was beaut

York been snowing for past two hours and laying thick really fast. Wanna ride in it now lol

Sheffield shop, they were one of the only local stockists at the time when i got my kuota road bike. Bought the frame from them. Lobbed in carbon stem for free as i bought monococ carbon handle bars from them. Decided to get chorus groupset off them and they sold me the carbon chorus groupset for the same price as the alloy chorus groupset. Think it was a saving of around 300 quiz or so. Zero complaints.

Normally High 5 4:1 for me.
But if im out of that, its usually a homemade mix of dilute to taste juice, honey and a pinch of salt.

Just had youth of today. And now talking heads wtf lol.

Tend to use hiking socks with my skate shoes. Mates on Saturday complained of cold feet (combo of normal socks with seal skins or over shoes). Was nice and toasty in my bridgedales.

Far cry 3 for me at the moment. Such a good looking game that i can actually run on ultra settings on my 3-4 year old desktop.
Just taken a break from planeside 2. Has the potential to look out of this world. But you need to spend mega amounts on a desktop that can actually run it with all eye candy turned on.

3 pints in the local and feel squiffy. Chilling for a while before i finish last nights bottle of red.

Tried fitting mine the other day with a g clamp. Wasn’t working very well. Invested in a headset press for 35 quid. Cups went in so easy it was like a revelation. Local Evans charge. £18.50 to fit a headset. Money for old rope tbh.

Walk up to heptonstall is fun. Coming down after a few beers in the pub even better.
white lion in hebden bridge does nice food and decent beer. Moyles does posh good and has a good range of ales as well. Not sure if moyles is open yet after the summer floods.

Karma for sending my Hope head doctor spare bolt in one of those stupid boxes. Now have to collect it from royal mail grrrrrrrr. Hello, Jiffy bag if you are reading this CRC.

cheddar with little bits of stilton dotted over. will give the stilton a less in your face (or mouth) taste

need to eat cheese now. cheers :D

Rudland rigg will be good in this weather. Have you a gps device. I got a good route from this website.

Done the Farndale one and the Nawton loop one. This one may be a bit claggy though.

Edit. Just remembered that the start of the Nawton route was really muddy when we did it in late spring. Really warm day, but after some rain. Think there is a diversion you can take though. Brill ride though. Well worth having a crack at.

Had a TV cabinet from them for about 3 years. Really well made and good delivery times. Would shop there again.

+1 on Sam smiths wheat beer. Lovely and loads cheaper than erdinger. Tricky to get hold of if you don’t live either oop north or in London though.

Yeah the front wheel holder can be a little tight. I tend to let some air out and pump back up when I get to the ride start.

That mont blanc one looks ok !!

whats it like then ? does it fit to the bars ok enough?

Works fine. Have you got aero or rectangular bars. My roof bars are rectangular. The clamps on the mont blanc are great. Nice and tight. If you have the aero bars it comes with the correct bits for installing.

Last time I had my bike upside down I almost lost 1 cm of my index finger :(

I’ve got a mint blanc barracuda. Works a treat. Handy feature is a deep slot for the front wheel that can actually hold the bike whilst you mess around with the clamp arm.
