Cobwebs cafe at High Ash Country Store near Abbots Bromley, staffs.

Down some country lane, middle of nowhere…then this pops up…great cake, coffee and staff and very popular with the cycling community.

about 35 miles just to get there…

the wedding present – going going

Pixies – Head Carrier

How?…..loved that show….

you’ve probably been probed,… check your bum in the mirror! :D

the go to back in the day and they were first on the block.

You would order something one day and get it the next day without fail!

not ordered off them in years!

not ordered off wiggle in years either and i live about 5 miles from their depot!

could have been the same girl who battered me with her handbag in the curry house down the end, we had a slight misunderstanding over who’s taxi it was…. i even pulled up a chair and sat on it so she could carry on her assault…

i think my nonchalant/your bullets cannot harm me manner wound her up even more! :D

grab a play at the grand in Wolvo

or a band at the slade rooms (WE ARE SCIENTISTS)

BOTH TOMORROW NIGHT.

grab a cocktail beforehand at Bohemia bar.

like this…

:lol: @scaredypants

thanks all, some great suggestions. :-)

had a squirrel throw itself at my rear wheel yesterday on my commute, luckily i saw him on the grass verge and thought he might do such a thing, so i slowed, all he received was a haircut!

yup, so just bearings then? what is the regular size of loose bearings?

i’m hip! 8)

tempted by these if i can find a pair converse jobbies.

all purpose, nothing fancy dan, must have grip, the sort you can just pull on and go and not worry about! thinking robust, but not like a walking boot.

i used to have a pair of cats ages ago that kind of thing maybe – Maybe doc martens is the way to go?

no one? :wink:

posting for ref.

The missus has one of these built up on an old hub.

I’d just get two of these built up onto some suitable retro hubs off ebay.

why not take him to a local non-league game, Blyth Spartans?

It will be cheaper, friendlier etc

I broke my head at Reading in the 90s

Came home on National Express in just my underpants four days after the festival ended and didn’t speak in my own accent for three weeks

we have a winner! :D

I’m a member – it’s nothing fancy, no sauna, pool or anything – but plenty of equipment.

The one I frequent does get quite busy at peak times. ie between 5 and 8 weekdays, so that time is best avoided.

Being cheap, it draws a cheap crowd. :wink:

The Wedding Present? A middle-aged moshpit

they seem to draw a varied crowd, there was one lad near the front about 12 years old going for it!

I’m so old and forgetful and was slightly drunk that I didn’t even remember twisting my ankle!

lol these are wonderful :lol:

I was pushed into my mate and accidentally head butted him. One of his bottom teeth went clean through his lip and cut my forehead.

you couldn’t have choreographed it any better! :D

GWERN GOF ISAF – CAPEL CURIG

Only about a fiver a night, close to Marin and Penmachno.

Pretty basic but got the cantilever stone mountain right behind it, which you can get to out the back of the campsite!

I suppose the Shropshire Dh stuff isn’t so far away. I look forward to maybe meeting up with some of you sometime soon.

100 miles, 2 hours ten mins. one way to Ludlow.

Peak District and Cannock seem like your obvious destinations.

i’m with stepchange just started, I’m trying to pay off as much as possible, should be clear in 2019, so far so good.

me and the missus

in an ideal world you’d narrow it down to three, and demo them all on the same day, on the same run. Entirely doable I should think.

worth it.

What are the bikes in question? I can then base an opinion on colour aesthetics alone. :D

Ended up at a 24hr Tesco. Let’s see if they got a Costa machine..

PAAAARR…TAY! :D

Make sure you have paid for your luggage to go as well.

Jangly indie guitar driven music

speed is your friend, get something you can go fast on.

dugast?

no experience, but my mate races and he uses them and he generally throws money at bikes and knows his stuff.

Have a good poo before each ride.

sat on the sofa with my ex and we were holding hands and playing with each others thumbs and suddenly this whisp of what looked like smoke emanated from our thumbs …. i say ‘did you see that’….she say ‘yes’ we were like.. wtf!

true story.

Also, just after my father was laid to rest, my front tooth started aching, for about a week it ached,… then nothing and nothing like it since. In his last days his front tooth was very loose and weak.

true story.

suck it up, non believers.
