Welcome to Monday, the start of the week.
I'm back, in just about one piece from The Vagabond in Betws y Coed after a proper messy party, involving several bottles of cactus jacks, bottles of red wine and a drag act. Absolutely fantastic weekend and a big thanks to Mark, the Gaffer there. Shameless plug, if you are riding the Marin, penmachno or even heading down to Coed y brenin 30 miles away, at 16 quid a night or 21 quid with brekky, its a fantastic place to stay (www.thevagabond.co.uk/)
Anyway, back in the real world, back to a lovely 10 hour shift today and a similarly long one tommorrow, then wed and thus off and a couple of short but stupidly early shifts friday and sat.A week today though and I shall be off to Portumagal woohoooo

alive & knackered after a good w.end.
Work all day followed by blowing the dust of the P7 as I am going out on it tomorrow for the first time in ages :oops:0 -
Today I have a dentist appointment in 30 mins (booo) then a doctors appointment in an hour and a half to see whether my eczema is chronic (booo).
Then I'm heading down to (hopefully) Sunny Essex to spend a week with my mate (yaaaay)
Catch you losers in a week 8)It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

By sexy people you must mean me.

today i will chill, prepare for a meeting later this week and try and stretch and rest my aching muscles after racing the Caffine Cup for the first time on the weekend, it was a good laugh, the bbq was good and i won!!!! so the pain is worth it!
(the Caffine Cup is a short sprint race around a cool techy little track in my local woods that me and a buch of mates do each season (spring,summer,autumn,winter) The prise is a giant bottle of Rockstar energy, second is a normal tin of Monstar and third is a small Red Bull) I like bikes and stuff0 -
Set off this morning on the bike in very light drizzle, which soon turned into a lovely warm sunrise
Today is looking sexy!0 -
I'm just generally being sexy to anybody I bump into.
gazderry, I see you took the bloody weather home with you, it's chucking it down here now :evil:0 -
i know am sexy 8)
my ar$e and hands are hurting from llandegla yesterday and i have a lot of insect bites
but the black run was so awesome . today will be mostly chilling as i had a can of monster energy, can of coke, coffee in the morning and a bottle of coke in the evening so i could hardly sleep. i can't believe it's the 9th of august. it's getting closer and closer to september and i'm dreading that month :evil: 0 -
Jay, if your arse is hurting, maybe you're doing it wrong! 0

today i rode the full susser to work as i had a puncture on my hardtail and couldn't be arsed to fix it. got a quite easy day today so i'll mostly be skiving 0 -
yeah, i did most of it but the climbs made me sit down for a bit and that wasn't a good ideayeehaamcgee wrote:Well stand up then that man. Llandegla's the smoothest trail centre known to man!0 -
That actaully reminds me. I could do with a new saddle. Scottishland made me have bumache.0

Too long sitting down on a long road section on saturday made bits of me go numb. Bits of me that I'd really prefer not to be numb! :shock:
I'd rather have bumache!0 -

I once borrowed my girlfriend's bike. It was all very comfortable and nice until I got off. Women's specific saddle and it pressed in an... awkward... place. I had pins and needles where no man should have pins and needles.
Bumache is indeed preferable.0 -
Women's saddles are very uncomfortable. I had to use the excercise bikes in physio (epic facepalm, seeing as I rode my bike TO physio :roll: DUH) and they had these massive, mile-wide seats.
After 20 minutes on them, with my bumcheeks being pulled apart by this massive saddle, I was walking like a duck. It felt like my rectum had been stretched :shock:0 -
meh.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.
Who are you calling inbred?0 -
Aw man, the bikes at the gym are like that. Who would find those comfy? They're like ledges with specially placed prongs to hit all the nether region pressure points.0

I had to stop at the side of the road and rub it vigorously to get the feeling back. Anyone know a good lawyer, I'm in court on Friday.
Anyway, why would I want to think I was walking someone else off? :shock:
All the effort, none of the fun, surely? 0 -
Feeling pretty crappy today after my Netbook (only PC at home configured for it) got poorly at 10:30pm before I needed to be up at 7am to do some work on some servers :x
Picking up now the tea intake is increasing at work 0 -
Morning satanic whores.
Today, I shall be fitting pannier racks onto my Vitamin, having picked up a couple of bolts I was missing from my parents' house, taking the pannier rack off my Carrera and sticking it up for sale, possibly change the seatpost on the Carrera for a nice carbon one (which will also look a lot better with the colour scheme), then going to Sainsbury's for chilli ingredients. Then, chilli shall be made, in a ridiculously huge quantity.
Mmmmm, chilli.0 -
Good Morning, had a nice lie in and lazed about in front of the tv for a bit, suppose I best start my uni work now though.0

How are you getting on with the Vitamin? I took the tyres off mine at the weekend and replaced them with the 1.5 slicks off the old commuter and it flew to work today Had completely forgotten how nice slicks are for speed 0 -
Still haven't got round to ordering the tool to change the freewheel, but I'm still enjoying it anyway. I am tempted to fit some different tyres, but slicks wouldn't be great on the canal towpath, and semis may not be much better than what I have now. It will also cost more, which is something to avoid...0

Indeed, if i didn't already have them in the Cellar i wouldn't be spending £20 more on the Vitamin. That would contradict it's purpose 0 -
No idea what you have now, but Conti doublefighters are where it's at.whyamihere wrote:but slicks wouldn't be great on the canal towpath, and semis may not be much better than what I have now.0 -
My dad has a pair of Doublefighters actually. While they are good, on a £70 bike, they're not enough of a difference to warrant spending the money on.yeehaamcgee wrote:

Ah, fair enough. I used to have some on a very old hardtail, and they were great. Even worked well on the mountains in Wales, where a lot of the surface is exposed rock.0
