Did Aberystwyth to Nant yr Arian to Mach and it was great fun, read about it here >>

A big ride for little lives – the digital version.

Proper way is to use a mobile repeater >>

The link you posted is for a Femto Cell, the mobile phone connects to that and then your conversation is transported across your broadband internet connection to Vodafone where it then connects to their mobile network. On their current pricing scheme I feel it's a bit too pricy as you pay for the Femto Cell then on top of that you are paying for your broadband connection over which they are transporting your mobile phone calls and charging you the same call rates, even thou by doing it they have reduced the need for capacity for cells in your area.

Can't you just let it lick it all off, you'll then have a self sealing puppy, well at least until the first burp.

Got one a couple months back, 120mm rockers with 150mm U-Turn Revs, tend to leave it at about 135mm. Dammed quick on the descents been encouraging me to attempt some silly overtaking when I should know better.

Bone dry when we were riding up there today, even some of the year round mud spots were almost bone dry. Second the comment about the sheep shit, lots n lots of it out on the Veranda, elsewhere it wasn't so bad.

Lou,

When Chunky Paul had a face to face with a Landy we had no problem vectoring the Helicopter in and some us when down the road at various junctions to guide the Ambulance crew in.

With regards the GeoLocation stuff grab me next time you see me I'll be happy to melt your mind/give you some ideas on the subject as I'm in that sorta trade, well Telecoms and emergency call handling from converged networks is always a hot topic.

Dont send anything in the clear. If you are web browsing sites thats OK if you log into a site and it's not using SSL or asks you to accept a certificate then dont, basically dont do anything that involves you typing/sending a username/password.

I upgraded from my N95 8GB to an N86 but it didn't last long when the N900 came out. N900 does everything I want out of a phone/mobile device, only wish it was slightly thinner. Use a Blackberry 8900 for work and it's a PoS in comparison. Best bit is that the N900 is not running Symbian no more hidden options or lots of delving into depths of menus. It's a Geek device that just happens to be a phone too.

Why didn't ITV HD stick a car advert on for 93mins this time

Big car park in Mach, perfect start finish for the Mach 3, nice little warm up out to the CliMachx

I've nearly come a cropper a few times on that Bridleway those bends really catch you out at speed

Just had a nose on the West Cheshire Gov interactive map and the road doesn't show up as anything

Depends on the scale of measurement

Just swopped to a pair of them replacing a pair of air U-Turn Pikes on my Hemlock, First test ride today and I didn't feel any difference at all, apart from the front wheel being slightly easier to lift up which I guess is down to them being a fair bit lighter.

My pair of those Revs for £315 arrived this morning, they are the Race U-Turn with Maxle Lite and remote lockout well chuffed at that price, thanks to Merlin.

Anyone?

Thought I'd give this a bounce so that people who frequent the forum during the week can see this topic too :-)

Three of us are going along with Colin to support him on all of this ride, knowing the route involved it promises to hopefully be quite an experience and become a classic for others to follow in the future.

Beginning of May I had one week where I managed to break two frames.

Love/Hate

FFS after a Gazillion questions on tensioners up/down/roller/jockey/chains/16/18 you go and buy one!

Only taking the P looks great, now we'll have to find a route that breaks you not your mate.

Got my HD4850 working with the ATI Proprietary drivers under Karmic using this guide >>

Did the Ubuntu software update upgrade to Lucid and it left the ATI drivers as they were :-)

Shonky phone camera pic of the weekends build project, will hopefully get to test it in the week sometime

You forget to mention that the Spaniel Cannon also fires cluster munitions that result in copious amounts of Dog Eggs.

Like a lot of 5 Spot riders after 3 years of trying various forks, Floats, Marz AM's, Z1's, I found U-Turn Pike's set at about 130mm travel to be perfect. Well until I bust my frame last week :(

Chainline it was me and Davydonn off MBNW that stopped to help you. It made for some interesting riding catching everyone up again later.

Chainline, did your chainring bolts last the distance in the end?

UST Conti Vert Pro's 40psi rear 35psi front, gripped everywhere and rolled really well.
Dialled Bikes Morning Glory my second choice as I'd cracked the frame on my first choice, but in hindsight it handled the descents brilliantly and was not too much of a chore on the climbs.

Mine died last week too, slightly different place with mine thou down by the main pivot. My week was made worse by the fact that I found a crack in my fave hardtail too in the same week.

There would have been one less of you if me and Davy hadn't have stopped and helped out on the climb out of town at the begining

Nanty, best out of the lot. nothing else comes close to mixing man made with the out in the middle of nowhere if it's mid-winter and I crash I'm gonna die feeling. Penmachno is one you have to do no matter what, just make sure to pay attention to the signs and do both loops.

Arms n face are looking a bit red after 7 hours riding in the Clwyds today, glorious :-)

Big bean bag makes an excellent pillow, broke a couple ribs about 18 months ago and was having major problems sleeping until some kind soul on here suggested using a bean bag.

I'm not sure if it's going to happen, Gordon Brown mentioned it in a speech, do I dare trust a politician.

Long term Mac user but I have an N900, when I'm travelling it's good enough to replace a laptop, the openess and the flexibility of it appealed to me.

Have a look at what the Nokia N900 can do it may be a bit heavy but if you don't like a locked down phone OS then it's a great choice. Have a look on Youtube at some of the apps/games it can run.

Nitromors and about a days with of polishing with some Scotchbrite pads on my MG.
