This is the second day in a row that I'm sat at home with flu, I can't even go out on the bike. Better than schoolwork, I suppose, just a bit.

Any ideas on any bike 'material' to keep my entertained? I'll read the latest IMB mag in a bit. Any good vids or article

    I'll go out in a bit, just on the streets though to perfect my manual and this:

    and perphaps get some more practise on bunnyhopping in. I can't be bothered to put my mtbing tyres on it and then have to swap them again later for tomorrow.

    I ended up practising bunnyhopping (still can't do it) and I built a little 1 foot jump out of the wood hanging around in the garden and set it up on an old disused car park behind our house. I managed some decent air(as much as you can get off a tiny ramp) and I'm more confident with pumping off the lip of the jump so you land flat. If you don't then most of the time you get 'bucked' off the bike.

    I feel a lot better now though

    This must be one lame-ass dose of the flu.
