Oh yes,my work sites are all remote power lines so winter (snowy) driving is a must. VW caddy van last year coped well and new Toyota 4×4 will get me there this winter,bring it on :lol:

Your legs will become power pistons, your mind will be free to experience all that surrounds you, you will drink real ale and eat strong cheese…..you will become a man my son. 8O

You dont need them sticks for skiing Flashy, but they are great for poking us snowboarders in the lift line :D going a bit off thread but have you seen the powder in Europe !!!! Going in Feb and April but we really should just jack it all in and go out there NOW !!! I will if you will ……

I normally park myself and my board just over the edge of a good slope and wait for the high horse riders to panic snow plough stop 8O “this is a joke by the way, just incase the humour gene has been removed”

Oh my god two skierists and a snowboarder trying to calm things down and treat forum dwellers with respect !!!!! This is it, next stop world peace ? NG,I have passed a van on the Tadcaster section of the 64 with Glover on it on my regular trip to Leeds but im sorry as I was doing 73.4 mph but it wont happen again :D

I have an issue with flashy 8) his snow sport thread is the best on this forum ever and for that reason I respect the fact that,it may take a while but one day he may just chose to ride a board :wink:

I can still hear “clip clop clip clop” and as the man said he was just asking a question to which he assumed he would get a good old honest reply on here “whoops wrong sort of forum” 8O.

So thats you on the A64 every morning at 64.5mph then :D

And you all drive at 70 miles per hour ? or you just haven’t been caught yet 8O “dont fall of that oh so high horse you ride upon”

Single speed bikes ? Freaks with beards trying to have a race between beer stops ? Organised by a bike monger ? Oh yes please 8O

Yep, I have a couple of urban rat runs and then out onto cheeky trails(aka footpaths) so i ride them at night in winter when nobody else is using them. It a solo game though so take care in the tough urban world 8) but it beats riding in mud every time.

The ping ping ping of the spokes,as a freshly built front wheel beds in as you start on the first bit of single track of a sunny morning ride :lol:

As an ex skierist who now boards I was just curious as to why one would still ski ? I know its all snow sports but just curious :D

As it say 85kgs ……. 86kgs = snap plus massive face plant.

Nice job indeed that man and very tasty 8)

Mine walked when I was 11 and my mum did a sterling job of bringing 3 of us up. Kept in touch with him, started a business with him when i was 22 but he has always been a friend/business partner but not a dad. Guess he was just not cut out for it as I have two sons now and he is a very poor grandad. I have spent the last 21 years (oldest boy now 21)being the best dad i could possibly be……. so its been no big deal I guess.

Just turned 50 couple of months ago, along with 3 other lads i ride with and well its just a number. Doesn’t stop us from playing around like kids on bikes and ripping the p@ss out of each other. Might be just a freak club thing as we all ride single speeds though 8O and we dust the geared boys YAHOOO !!!!!

Yep its pants.
Also got wood burner sparked up :D but bikes are ready to go for the sunny day that will be tomorrow……

Oh dear me……another freak SSerist…..if only you knew what happens next :D first steps on the slippery slope to niche town.

Cocks BANNED

If you do the same with those special mags junior sparkle has under his bed you may get a similar result :lol:eeee by eck you white rose boys .

Will a brain bucket stop all those Mtb head injuries ?

Facts: The thin lats that covered the roof are how they used to do it before felt was used. Modern practice is to remove thin lats (after removal of tiles and tile lats and then re cover roof in a breathable waterproof membrane to vent the roof space but also to keep water out. Once the tile lats are put on and the roof is retiled eveything is ok. It sounds like the membrane has been damaged before the tiles are put back. It needs repairing/replacing before re tiling.

The garmin 800 is about as user friendly as a bulldog with a fresh wasp sting on its tackle when it comes to setting up and route planning. Mrs Stumpy was not impressed with it as it doesnt work like a tom tom :D

I blame the rush to enter SSUK 2012, with all those beer stops and parties and cheese and FUN to be had whilst racing hard.

By the time you bunch of freaks have minced your way down that south of France place on a limited budget,in sandals and hippie kit the least of your worries will be gear ratios….. :lol: Oh i wish us poor Yarkshire folk could afford the fuel costs but we will be driving our tractors to SSUK 8)

Why thank you for your kind offer sir, I hadn’t realised you were kicking her out 8O

Proof that tats and fixies are indeed sexy.

Ow Ow Ow…..will there be any shore to mince on 8O

I will have a spin up to jingleby and find out from the horses mouth so to speak :-)

Bike hire from 1st of April from what was Purple Mountain venue in Dalby now called The Bike Barn. Ring Adrian at Pace Cycles Dalby to confirm but it should not be a problem.

A sign of good things to come ? You decide…I turned up to a Singletraction Trail Dig/Repair day today at Dalby and Mr Adrian Carter aka Pace was there digging muck,shifting rocks and building trails like a good un 8) (Along with alot of other good folk) He obviously gets involved and puts a lot back in, even on a sunday and as a volunteer. Dont ever remember PM getting involved in anything that they couldn’t charge for ermm…..lesson to be learn’t perhaps.

Its those massive powerfull single speeders legs 8O

Things can only get better and the official word is…….

Adrian Carter, Pace Managing Director, said;
“We’ve been developing our bikes in this forest for almost 25 years and in that time have seen Dalby progress into the World Class venue we see today. We intend to build upon that as we form a strong and unique partnership with CTC and Forestry Commission bringing together our collective strengths.

Dalby Bike Barn’s key objectives are to provide a focal point for the local cycling community, attract more tourists and keen road/mountain bikers into Dalby and once here deliver the very best courses and events, technical support and retail experience all in a warm and welcoming environment.”

Dan Cook, CTC Senior Off-road Officer, said;
“Dalby provides an ideal environment for each of the 29 different courses that CTC delivers, as well as a great base for community development. Partnering with Pace and Forestry Commission at Dalby Bike Barn means that we can inspire more people to cycle.”

Alan Eves, Forest Management Director, said;
“The high level of interest underlines the forest’s profile as a prime biking destination. We have sought to select partners who can help take forward cycling in Dalby, building on our reputation as a family biking centre offering world class facilities on and off the trail.”

We could see a glow over Middlesborough from Rosedale Moor ride last night ? Is that the Northern lights 8O

To expensive for us Yarkshire types 8)

Yep its odd but I did then same and really had a great ride in poor conditions but I was determined to go……its what sets us apart from the norms 8O

Nobody talks about SSFC !!! but thats how we like it :D see you there.

Coming to all scenic areas near you due to yet another badly thought out idea :evil: At least my 50ft wind turbine looks nice now ive painted it green.

Off to Meribel early doors saturday morning to ride all the best of the 3 valleys for a week 8) Just got a call from Skiworld chalet rep asking for any personnal requirements for me or Ms Stumpy.Thats service for you and the first company to bother in several years of staying in chalets. Well done that company.
