+ 1 for the Atomic Hatchet and if it helps I’m 71kg umpa lumpa (aka short) and my 159 rides like a good un in all situations, except when I’m on my arse of course :oops:

They can all try but they will never be as good as Mr survival Ray Mears :wink: A bit like marmite ? only the original will do.

Go collect hooker cards from phone boxes to put into your fixie’s spokes 8)

Oh brilliant !!!!! another freak show 8O

taz see Gils post above for linky ….

Sorry bungie I dont know what come over me. I do hope this wont damage our man love sessions in the forest ? Oh the smell of ginger.. 8O

Curry & rice ? Errrrrrrrrr why ? You only get it with chips up norf as its to cold to grow rice. One day I’m going to have half rice & half chips with it.

Tollah do you wax your own ?

Whoops interweb knocked me off…double post.

What ever you choose my fine fellow board rider 8O Many a fine hour spent waxing my boards in the workshop with a pie and a big mug of Yarkshire brew.

Look at us…..look at us…. look at us and we dont give a rats arse as we are all gods. 32 up front 16 rear its the law.

Some single speeders are dam fine snowboarders but thats for another day……. :lol:

They are the chosen dandy horse of true riding Gods. One ring to dust them all 8)

Yep proper snow and very sledge suitable.

Dalby at 14.00hrs today…… The trails are actually taped off with hazard tape by F.E so they are officially still closed. The snow is still today 12” to 18” on the trails and 90% of the trails I checked are not rideable due to heavy snow and trees down all over the place due to snow weight on branches.
It is only my personal opinion but I wouldn’t drive to Dalby to push my bike around, which is what you will be doing 90% of the time.

Yep it is shut at the moment as trails are un-rideable due to heavy snow,ice and trees down. I’m going up there on foot later today and I will have a good look around and then post the “on the ground conditions on here”

You get one chance to make a first impression (on behalf of all us mtbers) so make it a good one and just be as polite as possible and then ride on. Conflict solves nothing 8)

Shock news “Bungi in bigging up LBS at Dalby” :-) I do hope they have a good sale rail for you to raid when next we play in Dalby my urstwhile SS jockey……….

2nd of decemeber and we are still waiting 8)

Nooooooooooooo !!!! not sweet corn, dont glance down the bog, they come out just the way they went in…..

jammmy bugger :wink: My favorite stane, always ride it when I’m up that way but its a 9 hour round trip.

Steak and Ale pie,roast spuds and broad beans with loads of gravy here. Butterscotch angel delight for pud…..true bliss…..

Ok we will stay off your trails Mr M :wink:
Moors here we come yahooooooo Doh !

Pub culture and lifestyle ? Now that is a can of worms…..

On group rides I always take pictures, weekends away and full day rides as the people I ride with get even more excited about riding again if you show or e:mail them images. Digital images cost nothing so you can take loads and just show folks the one were they look good :wink:

£64.00 for two here (well worth it) and just as we got there it starting spitting and they shouted overbody inside, quickly 8)

DIY here…I ride stuff hard and I trust what I ride because I learn’t to build,mend and service it. Wheels are a joy to build and better than watching mind numbing TV with Mrs Stumpy.

Went to Newcastle to see him and yes he was very funny. How a man can make you @iss with laughter playing a double spade is beyond me. 8)

Lets just hope and pray he can still get an erection ? what a waste.

Heh heh ! happy burfday Tazz you old bugger the Yarkshire boys will buy you a belated drink or several at SSEC in Mardesous in 5 MONTHS !!!!! I assume your about 27 this year :lol:

Kit required to single speed ? Oh dear this will be the start of becoming a “niche haw”. Seen it so many times before :wink:

Loads !!!! up north with more on the way….rushes out to buy candles,bread and board wax.

Several more dandy horses than actually required here, but heh why not.

Errrrr come on boys keep it clean, I’m out waxing my board in the workshop and the thought of you two having a reach around is just plain WRONG 8O

Spot on Jedi and as Lionheart no 7: Shit happens… been riding years since way back when and I still LOVE doing it. Had a lack of awareness moment at Dalbeatie 2 weeks back and fubard myself big time (first proper injury needing A & E).

As soon as I am mended I will be back out “playing like a kid” YAHOO.

I always check people are ok if I see them on a trail tinkering with their bikes/or perhaps lost, but then I waff to most people I see anyway as Mtber’s are all one big happy family :wink:

Get a good light and warm kit. Once your out on your bike its like riding in you own little sunny (well white light) bubble and all the monsters in the forest are unable to catch you, but don’t look back.

I don’t know Ade but his responses have been very fair, considered and thoughtful and he sounds like a good guy. I do know Sheldon & the other K.O.N and they all put a lot into the SS scene and making sure people ride, enjoy and get on bikes.

They are both acting responsibly and I would hope they will have a beer together and put this one down as a bit of publicity.

Trolls now go back under your bridge ………

Had to buy some a couple of weeks back for a Lake Land monsoon epic. Always said I would never bother with W/proof shorts and just man up, oh how wrong was I. 3/4 Altura Attack after good advise from Biketreks and 5 hours later a dry bummed happy mtb’er 8O Worn them every ride since due to the wet Yarkshire clag.

I know someone who knows someone who has spent man fun time with this knight and even though he will not thank me for saying it ” Our Tollah” is kind hearted,a hard drinker and a average SSer, but he is a bloody top bloke and now and again does the odd dumb thing. It happens, we all rant sometimes…

I knew someone who said they knew someone who thought it might be up duck on your merino ?
