Might take some lieu time and go tomorrow then.

Racing in Plymouth today. Should be bone dry and superfast. 😀

Summer SW xc series is run by Fully Sussed (Jay & Maddie Horton). Should be on XCRacer somewhere.

Single definitely appeals for racing, but I want to use it on the road too. Maybe I should think about swapping the 50 for a 48. Maybe I should think about blowing a grand on a Jake the Snake?

That'll be 3 hours in my old van. It'd better be worth it then.

Never been to that part of the World, so I'd be keen. How long will it take me to drive there from Barnstaple, d'you reckon?

I'll bring some fig rolls then.

The Cube, 'cos Boardmans are ugly and come from Halfords.

Am I welcome too?

I'd love a Yeti.

Memory map is most useful.

If your groupset is still working okay, how about a cheap frame and fork from ebay. There's a few Dolan frames on there that look okay.

Yoghurt

Crazy, crazy nights.

I once entered Pop Idol in Norway singing a Kiss song. I didn't make it past the first round (should have painted my face probably).

Did he give you the Porsche?

How about the park and ride near Derriford?

It's most likely the Swiss bit.

Super muddy and super fun. I like The Peaks a lot. Might have to start visiting my in-laws more often. 😀

Piece of piss with a chain tug.

HIJACK: I'm going to be staying in Rotherham this weekend and am planning on getting out riding on Saturday. Anyone fancy showing me some of the Peaks, please?

Please, please, please? 😀

Dunno about France, but we used to do it quite often when I lived in Zermatt. Wait for a clear, full moon, last lift up and wait in a mountaineering hut with a few cocktails. Then just ride down in moonlight.

I'd guess there's no real legal issue, and who's gonna catch you anyway?

Your best bet would be trying to get to the Peaks (30-40 mins) by car

That's the idea. I just don't know where I'm going.

Taunton itself doesn't seem like too bad a place either. I spent 3 months there and quite liked it.

1.97m / 6'5 1/2"

Present rides:

Giant Trance XL 2008 (says 22" on the box, but I've measured it as being 20.5")
Giant Defy 2.5 XL

Halfway through building a 20" slot inbred (with 420mm seatpost)
Intending on buying a cross bike this year – probably 62cm Jake the Snake

I really like the idea of a 29er. Not so much because I'm tall, but more because they seem like they'd suit our Westcountry xc trails. Kona King Kahuna is high on my list (bit pricey though).

BUMP.

Same at Haldon in Devon. Used to be ace, now it's dull shite.

I should also mention that I'll be happy to reciprocate around Exmoor/Quantocks on your next Westcountry holiday 😉

Aston-cum-Aughton is Rotherham you cheeky scamp

Anything past Bristol and I'm lost. Some routes would be good if you've got them, especially in GPX format.

As for the snow, I'm a little concerned by that, as never ridden in it. It's all bikinis and palm trees down here.

I'd put a Reba on there.

Is it possible to ride up that way? I've heard it may have snowed a bit in The North.

Went surfing. 1-2' of longboard superglass. Blue skies and warm sunshine were a bonus too.

Chocolate limes remind me of my long-deceased grandmother. As for the bike, I don't want to like it, but I really do. I'd stick some proper brake levers on though.

I've not, but I did see Wiggle selling Kona Unit ss bikes for a few quid more than £400. Lots of people on here have commented in the past on how much they like their Marys.

malt loaf is delicious – LIES!

Malt loaf tastes horrible anyway.

Probably sponsored and therefore free to BBC presenters.

Kinesis is ~900 built with tiagra and okay wheels, Kona is a grand with 105 and Aksiums.
