I'm patiently waiting for the bike shop to open.... can't decide on an xt or xtr rear mech. if i buy the xtr i won't have much money left but will get a better performance.
just hope today is better than yesterday... got all excited about adding new chain/cassette but bike still doesn't work :evil:
as for the rest of the day, busy day at work,0 -

Get an XT, you're better off with XTR levers if you're going down the XTR route ... for performance.
Perfectly adequate (the XT) - save some dosh!!!0 -
Morning all!
I am sitting at work waiting for my boss to arrive....I have no work to do until then!
The other good thing about getting in before the boss is that they don't know what time you came in....so you can make out you were in earlier than you were!
I went climbing last night, was a good session and although I am not yet at the level I was pre injury, there was definite improvement snce last time. I got my arms so pumped on one route, they swelled up huuuge for about 20 min after, I expected to be in pain, muchos aching this morning but I am not WIn!
Climbing again tonight! Need to get out on the bike again though now I can! Just need to get my forks fixed!Ride it like you stole it!0 -
morning, had a shoot day at work yesterday and i'm finding it hard to bite my toungue.
anywhoo i had a good ride last night, and i'm meant to be racing tonight.
projectsome XT not XTR unless they do you a really good price 8)
its the last thing i need to upgrade on my bike, but its one of those things thats working fine so find it hard to justify buying one. (bit like the poo avid brakes i have)
today i will be mainly doing all the work, with slight intervals of coffee and sugary cake.0 -

Good Morning Freaks!
XT for the rear mech. You don't cry so much when you b0rk them...
Had an awesome race, erm I mean ride into work today. I'm on the XTC and was "ridng furiously" with a guy on a very nice carbon fibre Spesh flat bar roadie bike. I got the better of him in the end, but am absolutely knackered now. Average speed was 19.1mph... :shock:
Today shall be spent plotting, a little planning, some browsing and maybe even some work...
I also need to dispatch a minion for coffee and something bacon flavoured...0 -
OOh i forgot, last night i almost got knocked off my bike down the singletrack by a barn owl! :!: :!: :!:
that spooked me right out, then it proceeded to fly over next to my left shoulder for a few meters before heading up into the trees.
so i get back on pace, a few hundred meters up the track and i get deer running to my right, again stopped, didnt want to get trammpled on. (they have a habbit of just cutting you up, loads of them as theres never just one of them)0 -
hoping for a better day at work today.......
Went running last night and am still in pain
Cycling later with the local club, so hopefully a good 40 miles.0 -

XT rear mech, you know it makes sense. Go for a shadow one.
I've just woken up, debating in my head whether to ride to work or not. i have to be in by 10am, but i may end up working very late tonight. hmm.0 -
HOLA HOMBRES!
Today I will be working. After today I'm having a few days off because I've actually died from doing all this overtime.
Watching Red Bull X-Fighters tonight, and Sherlock Holmes.
It's been 3 weeks since I went for a proper ride. I've just not been ar5ed, but I will make an effort over the next few days.0 -

Will go out as soon as mojo fix my busted forks I promise....stupid flimsy fox cr@p!
How man hail marys...or what is my punishment?

Bacon is for sinners!
Not riding is sinning in the highest form!
50 hail mary's and bowl of musli for you!
Or just get out on your bike ASAP and eat as much bacon as your minion can carry?0 -

anyway if you have been doing nothing for 5 months then you must be at least slightly fat?0 -
Wow, Jay's got a way with the ladies, hasn't he?
Bint, it could be worse, you could have had Marzocchi forks :shock:0 -
I haven't been doing nothing I have been skiing/snowboarding 3/4 times a week. There are pics of me on the what do you look like thread and I posted a pic yesterday on the camping thread so look on there.
I am many things....FAT...is not one of them :PRide it like you stole it!0 -
I am extremely hung over today after a night out with some of the lads I used to work with. I don't usually drink and today I remember why! Im off to get a bacon and egg roll, catch you all later :-)0

im feeling very happy after a successful night at the casino won a fair sum of money (ok so i won 20 quid ) but still i "earned" money by doing bugger all except sit on my arse all night, so im going to buy something shiny later0

Morning everybody!
Last night I went for a run, it wasn't far, only 2 miles, but ye Gods, there are some steep hills near my house! I think I'm in the process of finding a nice little loop for the bike, so it was worth it, and I'm happy that today I don't ache, I feel great
Tonight, I'm goin to Ikea to get a sofa bed.
Right now I want a bacon and egg sandwich, but I'm determined to lose weightIt 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!

Good afternoon all, Today I am broken. Went on a ride yesterday with local club and after about 2 and half hours was really struggling to keep pace and by the last 2 hills (about 3 and quater hours in) I'd properly "bonked" and had no power, still managed to finish the ride a with a final burst of power and was only about 10seconds behind the main group so I was pleased I didn't let myself down. God do I need work on my endurance though!Santa Cruz Chameleon
