Football's going home, its going home, its going home...
Welcome to day 3 of bike week and the 3rd different bike used for the commute. Today's bike of choice would be the awesome seXTC. You know, I actually prefer riding this bike to the NRS...
Meanwhile, back to the important stuff: I already have a coffee, I have a pie for 2nd breakfast and Englad suck at football.

Cycling later, though legs still tight from w.end & running on Monday0 -
I rode my 1994 GT 14 miles last night... At the 7th mile, as far away from home as I was going to be, the jockey wheel on the LX mech nearly fell off. :oops:0

I'm gonna squeeze out in an hour for a cheeky new 15 miler i've been doing. It has to be done in an 1hr 15min or i'll be late for a consult and that ain't good.
I have every confidence the England team will rediscover their bollocks, and not look like a bunch of pussy whipped penii who have stage fright, and string a performance together and win.0 -
A local chav suggested that I might be a member of the local constabulary as I rode past last night, to which his friends greeted me with a hail of 'Eeeeehhhh Police!'
Now I know there's talk of cut backs and cost saving, but I still have yet to see any local coppers riding around on prehistoric GTs with bright red floral(!) board shorts on instead of their usual modern hard tail (not sure what the Liverpool boys in blue ride), body armour, hitting sticks and cuffs.0 -

Quiet this morning because some people at work have actually taken a day's holiday so they can watch the telly :roll:
Hopefully we will be able to push off later this afternoon. If I stop posting you'll know I've gone for a bike ride

Morning all,
Another lovely day outside, I swear if the weekend comes and at turns crap I’m going to D-lock someone.
I think a few people are “working from home” today as the carpark seems a bit empty. The sooner we get kicked out this afternoon the better.
Went out with the brother last night, while we were out he saw a mate of ours so went over to say hi, thought he’d do a 180 stoppy to show off. The result:
Looking cool FAIL!
We tried standing on it to straighten it out but no joy, so a long walk home for him.
Doing a 10 mile TT on the mountain bike tonight. Our club does it once a year for a laugh. You’re not allowed to use slick tyres, so I’ve found the baldest knobbly’s I had and chucked them on.
Is it 5 yet?"I ride to eat"0 -
Stuart_C - Meh, it'll buff out.
Today is a free day off so we can watch the soccerball later on. So of course, I plan on doing anything BUT.

Morning, Very warm in the bunker this morning.
Feeling the effects of lasts night ride in both my legs and my ar$e (new saddle needed suggestions welcomed)
was talking in th pub after about possibly switching from the single ring up front to one of these sets purely for those steep climbs that a 38T ring up front is just too much.0 -

Morning all,
First off just like to say that SRAM 990 cassettes are poo, buy XT. Just bent the 3rd cog on mine last night - big accident? No. Stone hit it? No...just pedalling hard up a steep hill. ...luckily the metal is so soft I managed to bend it back, but seriously unimpressed considering only a month old - XT one going back on as soon as possible.
Anyway today is looking up as my boss is a football fan, and whilst I couldn't care less, it should make for a slack afternoon.
Finally I'm buying my first car tonight (i know i'm 26, but hey) 2003 Seat ibiza..not amazing but insurable and I know the chap that owns it and he drives like a saint and takes good care of things. So better than buying something cooler from a dodgey second-hand car salesman.Santa Cruz Chameleon

good cars, very reliable and depending on the model pretty fast, too high a centre of gravity but good.
Stuart_C I can nay see the pictures at work?
is it a bent wheel? 0 -
VWsurfbum, aye. Rear wheel folded under him. We managed to take some of the buckle out by standing on it, but it's basically dead. Wanted ad appearing in the classified section soon.

welshkev, I shall pass the offer on. I think he may have a wheel laying around but I'll let him know anyway. Cheers.
I think most people in our office are going into a conference room to watch the football, so I shall be all on my lonesome this afternoon. Should've planned ahead and taken some pictures of stuff I want to sell, that would've been my afternoon sorted.
Lunch was a big dissapointment (boring sandwich) so the biccies are getting a pasting."I ride to eat"0 -
Afternoon all.
This morning was spent messing with computers. Upgraded the OS on the desktop last night, but apparently the upgrade won't work with my old graphics card, so I had to roll it back today. Installed Ubuntu on the new laptop, and got that set up, dual booting with Windows 7. Need to have a look for my network hub in a bit so that I can have them both connected to the network at the same time (We've never had any need for wireless, so don't have it. I'm also sorting everything out to be listed on eBay.
Later, I may go for a run, having finally got some shoes I can run in without forcing me onto my heels, which obliterates every bone in my body.0 -
hello whoresmouthes
today was a good day, taught some stuff, did some running and lifted some weights and am already smashing the first of my 5 portions of fruit a day in the form of delicious ice cold strongbow, without doubt the second best cider i have ever had.
the first best (magic bus) will be getting consumed as soon as i have stopped sweating and have showered.0 -
chillin, doing some testing For Nut Lub and revising... will prob watch Football too, if im bored.I like bikes and stuff0

Afternoon everyone!
I won't be watching the match later as I have a meeting at 3 for 45 mins, then I need to get home, to collect the car and get it to the garage for it's MOT before 5:30
:? This could be expensive.
I hope the back pay I get in this months paycheck is a few hundred squids, otherwise I'm in serious financial trouble *gulps*It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Join us on UK-MTB we won't bite, but bring cake!
