    Drop Ian Tait a line at the bottom of this link, he’s a good guy. snakeysnuggles is spot on with her assessment of resources.

    Warner on Vital MTB said it will be recorded replay of top 10 women, selected highlights of qualified men 80 – 31 followed by live coverage of top 30 men.

    Better than nothing.

    In my experience it depends how much time you can dedicate to them when they are a puppy.

    Sprocket the Border Terrier comes to work with me every day so I had plenty of opportunity to teach him recall and not to chase.

    We also used to play a game with him as a pup in the house and garden when my wife and I would take it in turns to hide and then whistle him until he found us and then give him a reward, then the other would hide and whistle and so on. He soon learnt that finding the whistling person quickly meant reward.

    Sorry for the delay……..I had to go out walking 😯

    Taff, yes current one is a Morphy Richards and it is cr@p!

    Stoner I’ve has a Russel Hobbs and it leaked like a sieve.

    I quite like the Dualit one, so on your head TFB, it may have to be one of those, although I do have a log burner for nicheness Stoner.

    Here’s Sprocket approaching High Cup Nick November 2010.

    They are generally great with kids and how they react with other dogs depends on how well you socialise them as said above.

    Sprocket now hates male black labs after being attacked by one, he did draw blood in retaliation though 😈

    If you call in they always drop 10% without asking in my experience, not much use if you live far away.

    Westbrook Cycles in Stokesley (North Yorkshire)

    Great service, they are always getting me fiddly bits and pieces in that they probably make no money on. So if I have big money to spend it goes there.

    Lyons Fresh Ground Coffee Bags are the future, I bulk order directly from them as it is the only place that I have found their Rich Roast (Strength 4).

    How about that for a ‘STW’ giving you the answer to a completely different question?

    I’ve used them for my shock and they problem solved an issue and got it fixed, they did seem to be very busy on the service side so give them a ring first.

    They are good people to deal with so hopefully they can fit you in.

    I know nothing about them but I find this website is pretty reliable.

    I read the title as “Boris Johnson – waffling tool”.

    Shouldn’t he be concentrating on being Mayor rather than getting into competition with George Foreman.

    I used the 661 version last year after busting my collar bone and it certainly helped to support my shoulder, especially on long rides with a big pack.

    By the nature of them they are quite tight, I ordered the XL for a 44″ chest and it was okay.

    You will find that they compress your lungs a bit and they can be a bit sweaty, although I was fortunate to be bust up in winter.

    Just be careful, but I’d guess you will be anyway.

    Yes I’m riding and Mrs Crackfox and Sprocket the Border Terrier should be marshalling as well.

    Just need to decide which bike to bring!!

    My Reverb popped a seal the week before last when I was doing a traverse of Scotlandshire, 35km into a 65km day. So they do go, mine is currently back with Fisher who suggested a 48 hour turn around for warranty work.

    Lessons learnt: I should have bought the longer length (my frame would have taken it), so when it did go down I could have raised the seatpost and not had to ride 30km with my seatpost an inch too low.

    I rode last night in the gopping rain without my Reverb and missed it on the wet rooty off camber descents.

    So yes they are ace when they work, but if you can use a longer seatpost for emergencies that is best.

    Kildale loop:

    Up the road to the Cleveland Way on Battersby Moor, then the bridleway across Ingleby Moor around Baysdale Moor and then onto Great Hograh Moor :D, down the road past Hob Hole then over Kildale Moor to Warren Farm and back to the Glebe cafe for a pint and cake.

    Or something along the Hambleton Drove Road if you want something further south,

    The first night with Sprocket our Border Terrier was accompanied by all of the above whining and crying, we went down to see him and stroked him until he went to sleep.

    The following night I’d read somewhere that if you put a ticking clock in with them it sounds like their mother’s heart beat and helps them get to sleep. So second night we tuck him up in bed with his clock and stroke him until he nodded off and off we toddle to bed feeling very pleased with ourselves as good parents.

    That lasted until 3am when the alarm went off on the clock and really set him off 😳

    They do need to try harder on the quality and variety of food and to get the car parking sorted, but apart from that it was a good event.

    The Friday night has an excellent ‘urban’ sprint race in Pickering.

    The Saturday has practice and a public ‘Dalby Dare’ Race.

    Followed by the main event on Sunday.

    I missed the Saturday last year and had a great time on the Friday and Sunday.

    I don’t know if this has been mentioned but the Public Bodies (Reform) Bill has in it the proposal to remove the clause whereby only 15% of Publicly owned Forests can be sold in one year.

    This needs to be the next area of protest so they don’t sneak it in the back door whilst everybody is celebrating.

    Trailmonkey – I don’t think she is a good drummer in the conventional sense, but she could bang out a simple rhythm and I think that worked in the White Stripes.

    Gutted I loved their stuff and saw them live 😀

    And contrary to popular opinion I thought Meg was the ideal drummer for the band anything more sophisticated would have been too much.

    But hey ho, hopefully more Dead Weather.

    Not that I buy anything else from them but the fork service has been fine and has free shipping if you can get to store (they send it to their service centre!).

    My work vehicle is a C-Crosser Enterprise (van) and our domestic car is a Yeti 4×4.

    The C-Crosser is comfortable to drive, rails corners like you wouldn’t believe and goes like stink (2.2 diesel, I think Mitsubishi use the same Citroen engine now). Being a van I can get two bikes in it and all my work kit with just the front wheels off, but I don’t know what the seating flexibility is like in the car version.

    The Yeti is not as comfortable to drive long distances (for me) and the rise is a bit jittery if you are a rear passenger, but the seating is flexible. We remove the middle seat and fold the rear off-side seat down and can get two bikes in and all the kit for a week away, no bother or just lift all the seats out to fit the mini marquee and all the other rubbish for enduros.

    Off road, don’t get a tow hitch on the C-Crosser/Outlander as it catches on everything, but with good tyres (BF Goodriches on mine) it can go up and down farm tracks and most moorland tracks just be aware of the limited ground clearance.
    The Yeti stock Dunlop tyres are rubbish in the snow so they need to come off but the hill descent control/off road button does everything for you particularly in snowy weather.

    All in all I recommend you buy both, one for fun one for practicality.

    £14,500 (ex-VAT)new a year ago for the C-Crosser Enterprise, but I’m not sure they convert them to vans anymore and you get Japanes build quality.
    £20,000 for the Yeti140 BHP 9 months ago (with VAT).

    You want to be careful googling ‘Dirtworker’ 😛

    We had a Brand X and the hose attachment snapped off in the car and we couldn’t get a replacement, at least on the Mobi they are well tucked out of the way and any leaks have been sorted with ptfe tape. Also the cigarette plug fried on our Mobi and we got really good customer service from Mobi geting a replacement posted out within days, after e-mailing a couple of photos over to them.

    Mrscrackfox seems to think that food is merely a vehicle for condiments…..all of them at once. I am trying to train her but six years now with no real breakthrough.

    And has no one ever tried Hull Chip Spice?

    If you get the offer say no, its like a crushed stock cube and paprika sprinkled on your chips 👿
