broken my protrek twice now, not happy thought it was supposed to be a tough watch :(

who knows but your premonition of it being delivered when you’re either out or halfway through a difficult shit is probably bob on
:lol:

linky no worky

get well soon WCA my knee went sideways last year 8O so feeling your pain :(

I’d give you’re self a good 2 and a half hours maybe 3 hours to be sure

the M4 on a Friday night ride that was the Brecon Beast today 8O

poor Davey

The mass start did seem to create a long tail back for the first few miles – perhaps it could be staggered in future to split the field up a bit?

Your not wrong we thought we were in the middle at the back of the lay-bye and expected those queuing on the road to follow through into the lay-bye to go over the start line – BUT NO!!!!!

This meant we were right at the back!!! FFS not happy at all.

Then the queue up the first singletrack was ridiculous, in previous times I have done this the route went the other way so plenty of climbs etc on the road to spread the field out!!

rant over!!

Enjoyed the day out though and especially the last cheeky descent where that low tree was – lovely

Yes I have struggled this year, since I bust my knee just got lazy.

Had a slack 6 months got into running and got fitter :D

But recently seems to have come back as we’ve established a local group of 10+ who ride on a Wednesday eve and have been really enjoying it. Rode the Brecon Beast today and really smashed me about as lacked the endurance for a ride this length since my knee injury

Family day to day Brecon Beast tomorrow :D I can’t wait going to be lovely riding ‘The Gap’ tomorrow

great news Biggs :D

be aware in the classifieds in the coming months for an abundance of these with folk trying to cash in, but definitely tempting

try your local Lidl they have some cycling glasses in for less than a tenner and with multi lenses

good times :D

this is going to be our next family vehicle, we currently have a Renault Grand Scenic which is fab, 7 seats, size of a mini van, hauls kids, dogs, bikes, loads of crap etc. OK it’s not the best driving etc and bits fall off it but it’s going strong so far.

So once the kids get bigger the van idea really appeals as they’re stuff gets bigger too etc.

alternative to the VW really appeals but they are tempting but the price puts me off

I had a 456 with revs on it was friggin brilliant miss it like mad, think I’m going to have to build another one soon :D

cheers Steve I will try and catch up with you next week

Thanks guys funeral tomorrow, going to be a hard day :(

A good friend just had his replaced (wood) in Penarth, cracking job I’ll find out who did it for him and post is on this thread in the next 48hrs OK?

well we and the doctors thought she had severe arthritis but when the treatment for that was not working and her neck muscles failed she was referred to a Neuro consultant who ran tests and confirmed it was MND, the rest is history.

We know believe Mum just gave up and willed her life away :(

If you want to see what MND does to you watch this, be warned it is truly shocking

I wonder if he’ll post it on Strava so we can have a crack at beating his PR :D

That looks ace

Surely it’ll be that little dude from EDF energy after all he’s well equipped as a flame :D

I use one for both sports, seems ok, but I maybe corected.

I like it so I can see all my activity in one place :D

enjoy the first ride after I bust my knee up last year was the best ever, even if it was only 1 mile, just being able to ride again was superb :D

My father in-laws uncle Andrew Wood, he was a gunner but we don’t know exactly what position, he was sadly was shot down.

Maybe he could be a Mid-upper Gunner on Aircraft B as knowing Ambrose I would think that we could be connected in such a bizarre way in a past life :wink:

I had this with my crossrides that were fitted to my Zesty,they are the centre lock fitment, always kept coming loose so got rid of them, didn’t trust them

T shirt with “Grouch Potato” on :D

Spesh hotrock 20 here too, 7 year old girl loving it :D

love the life in this thread :D

OK ta I will have a look at Animal friends

thanks for the replies, never insured the past 3 dogs I’ve had and probably saved a mini fortune over the past 20 years by doing so.

The wife is worried about the little blighter so may do it for peace of mind.

So is lifetime cover the best to go for???

This is what you need http://www.rhinogoo.co.uk/

I have never tried it to be honest, prefer a framebag, handlebar harness, seat pack set up.

These would be your best bet so you could strap them on to the pannier rack using the loops.
