thanks for the frank and honest reply

Surgery was good really, was done robotically via keyhole so recovery wasn’t too bad

I am aware that the cancer nurses can paint a slightly rosy picture sometimes so as not to terrify you!, we are lucky in that we have a fabulous cancer wing in our local hospital, but I am trying to be realistic, however some peoples experiences have been good so its all a bit unknown what will be my experience

Its been a real rollercoaster of a ride as anyone who has done it will know

Staying positive and looking forward to riding my local trails is my mental weapon of choice!

Patagonian
Regards weight, yes I lost some during recovery from surgery, I am larding myself up in preparation!

Thanks all of you

I am not looking forward to it obviously but it’s supposed to be curative so I am looking at the long term.

I hope I can get out with my dogs or a ride but we will have to see what happens.
I will try to remember to post an update on here in a few weeks when it’s underway

Thanks db

I am on 3 week cycles also

My chemo is preventative so am hoping won’t be too bad but I will take it as it comes

Stacking it large will be off the menu I should hope!

I will be getting some covers as well both waterproof and Spandex type

Cheers

On the bright side, only two more sleeps til Christmas.

😆

That cyclo tyre tool looks great, I assume it can’t work with 20mm bolt through though?

built on MGF lol I have one of those, hope he has had the head gasket done!

I’m not sure why he’d be driving with a shotgun in the cab of a vehicle

Well he is South African……..

Probably so they can frack it all.

Well (pardon the pun)thats not so far fetched as there is gas on Blackheath and oil on Leith Hill

If it’s so much trouble running the land he owns already why does he want to buy more of it? Genuinely interested in his motivation behind owning such an estate.

He owns all of Dunsfold as well and as that is to be developed into a new town he will be a very wealthy man I guess. There is profit to be made on the timber that is grown and i imagine there are tax benefits to owning woodland.
the whole of Pitch hill was sold for arounf 670k so not really big money
I believe he offered around 1.5million for all of the plots that were up for sale

.

I wonder how many mtb-ers are Friends of the Hurtwood (£25)

I was for years until they sold most of it as a way of avoiding tax on profits when Handa Bray dies.

They only own Holmbury hill now, and i expect that to be sold in the next 10 years or so

Kind of lost me then sadly as its run as a charity

Apparently Jim did ask to buy the whole lot at a discount but he was turned down………

Thanks guys, a bit more research needed methinks but looks like its doable

Budget? well i would think about 8k but i could be well off!

I also have concerns re security as its not in sight of my house

one of mt cracks is in the top corner looks like the whole wall could fall over one day!

Not expensive (apart from brain cells) but i knocked myself out once sneezing and hitting my head on a table when working as a photographic printer in a darkroom, woke up on the floor 😆

Yes I know but its the base thats the real problem.
we have sizeable cracks where its moved and the 2 garages are very tight as they have a central wall where as a double could easily
fit a car and a few motorbikes too!

Foot print of the current pair is 5.2×5.2 metres so a nice size as one garage

Yes BB been faced will try some more grease but that was done on install.

I have just bought a £15 shimano one and i expect that will cure the problem

He’s got a silly beard

Oh and you are welcome by the way! 😛

Ask to see the pups with their mum, if they cant do this or you aren’t convinced its the mother walk away
and kennel club for advice

HOW MUCH…..

Hmm only worth £4200 by the looks of it so not a great loss in the scheme of things

Not me but my missus had a Jeans Beetle with denim seats she let her dogs all over the seats and trashed it, ended up at the scrappy i think

Probably have better luck uploading it to link below
or they have a forum full of font geeks as well

Or this would be good on a road bike

Road or MTB? Surrey hills are 30-40 mins away

Well looking at the comments on facebook lots of people believe virtually all these events are staged…….

i’m looking forward to the clock in my car being right.

This!
I bought a car in December and CBA to find out how to change the clock, next week is pay back time! 😀

Bloke near me who is a skip millionare put loads of signs including a speed limit of 15mph for bikes, I always wondered if he had a speed gun or camera! 😀

I have a 16gb moto G3 and i think its great!

Blimey 😯

Sorry but why do i need to apologise
Make your mind up

Genuine LOL 😀

Oh dear

Stinky finger under a tree in the park.

I suspect this still happens!

Most of them didn’t know what a dual carriagewy was FFS.

Yes we spent a fair bit of time on that!

Ive done 2 😳
On the last one the funny part was when one of my fellow criminals admitted he was a driving instructor!

Be prepared for some very bitter people who don’t seem to appreciate that it’s their own fault they are there!

Which was my experience
