I rode it all on a Bullit. 🙂

Mmmm Jubblies.

So, pray tell how does the sock function if the hole has to be there for the foot to go in? Should I sew them on? maybe tape around with insulation tape?

You need GoreTex over trousers which go over your stockings to stop the waters ingress.

😉

Oh, and this one.

3 Peaks Cyclo Cross 2011 Race Bike[/url] by Rich[/url], on Flickr

I’ve had a Surly Cross Check, and run a Singular Pergrine SS.

Both heavyish for proper racing

These before they went disc were much lighter. I may get one for next year.

My body.

A proper days hard graft outside has left me aching all over.

Yep everything on the black and another little loop. And my wife has just confirmed I was well under the hour as we needed to be elsewhere for a wedding.

Though there may be new things since I last visited.

The reality is (some) mountain bikers are biffers and will buy that for up hill skills.

I know my mate from ****** brand told me it was already happening.

Fron what you’ve said.

50 mins for starters.

You’ll beat that soon though.

Disagree. We drove an hour to get there an would go again. It’s more of a sessioning/skills developing kind of place than somewhere to munch the miles.

I rode it all in around 40 mins. Nice place for sure, but doesn’t fit with the destination drive to place as is.

It’s the first mountain bike trail the company has created at one of its reservoir sites and the company is not ruling out creating more in the future.

Stainburn is not worth driving to unless you are local for the distance of trail. More is better imho.

Maybe the area long term will become a weekend destination. 🙂

Don’t show it to children, after it appeared on here last week I’ve heard nothing else from mine.

I did take some revenge in the supermarket though the other night doing the fox dance in front of my kids.

Steady down Chapel Gate, it’s recently been resurfaced with loose gravel which is interspersed with big drainage channels.

Good effort. 🙂

Oh, and I rolled a trailer more than once being a bit silly. The kids were fine though.

We used a variety of Burley trailers. Another good thing about trailers is it’s much easier to keep the kids toasty.

Cross tyres won’t save you. Ice Spikers or similar may.

May do.

I’m not coming if it’s going to be puddletastic though.

There’s registration on the day. 😉

It’s still summer here, with the occasional shower.

Richpips; Thanks for the offer, I may just take you up on that if you’re serious?

Sure, email in profile.

West Midlands not far from Kinver and Clent.

Well, if you fancy a trip up to the Peak let me know.

Proper hills, quiet roads etc.

Where do you live?

Sportive. Meh.

Ride 60 miles local taking in some hills and the best cafe around.

There’s loads with short sections.

Coombs to Castle Naze will give you some 30%+ bits.

14 stone. You must ride with skill/slowly or be lucky.

Or maybe schwalbe like under selling their products

If you can track them down £150, well above market value and they don’t look to be in the best condition.

Still, get a third party to do the deal. I had a cousin who tracked down something similar with his and her surname. The asking price from the dealer was £1000.

😯

Look on the schwalbe site and on one sites.

“This is an out-and-out competition racing tyre. Puncture protection and durability are limited”

Good luck.

I did a Tesco one once. You download the template, so you can do the design offline at your leisure.

Paper quality was OK, and the colour rendition good.

Done. Tricky though.

Good find Drac, my kids will love that.

Like kippers or in a rizla?

Kippers, smoke them till they cry.

Disappointed. I thought this was about smoking children.

Bargain courier, so you paid the insurance of course?

😀

4-5 times a week averaged over this year at 25 miles a ride.

I looked it up via Wiki

On 14 February 2006, the House of Commons first voted on the amendment to the original compromise plan, to extend the ban to all enclosed public places except private members’ clubs. The amendment was carried with a large majority. MPs then voted on a further amendment to ban smoking in all enclosed public places including private members’ clubs. Again this amendment gained significant support and was carried with a large majority. This therefore replaced the earlier successful amendment which would have allowed smoking only in private members’ clubs. The legislation was passed by the House of Lords, allowing a total smoking ban in enclosed public places to come into force in England.

I doubt it’s illegal then. (disclaimer I am not a lawyer)

Is it a licensed premises?

A localish 90 minutes riding new things.

There’s lots round Hayfield Edale Hope, but all the proper steep stuff (similar to Simon Fell) don’t have legal ways up or back down, so maybe not the best idea at the weekend.
