Help: Boardman HT Comp 650b, Sell Or Keep?

I played cricket with a guy who fasted. While fasting he scored a hundred and took five wickets. Fair enough he was shagged at the end, but you're clearly doing it wrong.

He can't be shagged at the end until he's married.

It's cricket.
Might have dropped the soap in the shower.

A couple of years ago in 2009, I use to play football in Ramadan during 30 days of fasting, an hour before the fast would open, me and my friend David who is an atheist and an oxford graduate, would play pass and shoot and 2 touch together in a local football field. He's not 100% Atheist, he does believe in something which created the world but he also believes in some form of evolution. I've had debates with him about god and religion but I couldn't convince him even though he was convinced at one point and was going to convert to Orthodox Islam. He's too intelligent. He has mastered the technique of memorising everything he learns, something which I'm trying to do myself, but haven't even started yet. I'm not an academic but I'm trying to learn things as much as possible as it's a religious requirement to seek knowledge from cradle to grave. By the way I too played cricket when I was younger, I played professional level until I was 13. So I can manage on a fast it just all depends on what I eat in the mornings for my pre dawn meal and when I open the fast aswell.

By the way my jacket is high visibility yellow. I've got some pictures of them I'll upload later along with the bike. Sometimes I use a t-shirt in high visibility to wear under the jacket on warmer days.

Also in addition to that what I meant to say was, he fasted with me for 30 days. He also holds a belief that why convert to religion when there is so much more to do in life so instead of having a job and becoming a doctor, do things like help people and create life changing inventions and spread peace. He's a big believer in Zeitgest and the hidden governments which rule us and control our minds etc He's not against religion like some of you are, but he just felt it maybe wasn't the right time for him to convert at the time. So don't try to take any of my words out of context or misinterpret them.

So he's actually insane, not intelligent.

Was chilled. I was just wondering what sports you like to do/play. I know cricket's not everyone's cuppa. I like all sports really apart from road cycling obviously.

Wasn't cricket originally designed so that it could go on in the background without disturbing your afternoon tea? Occasionally, something mildly interesting happens so you look up, and then you can get back to your cucumber sandwiches.

The Rookie

Actually no, early cricket was predominantly professional (by the standards of the time) and rich would buy a team to go and beat their mates paid for team, a lot of gambling involved (and a lot of cheating!), a lot of similarities to horse racing....

cooldad

Cricket would be interesting if it was played with small hand grenades. Speed the game up a bit, and stop the bowler rubbing his obvious with the ball.

rockmonkeysc

I have only been to one cricket match. As far as I could tell it's all about sitting in the sun, drinking beer and eating meat while some sort of ball game goes on in the background. We got absolutely sh1t faced. Good times, must go again.

rgliniany

Get yourself to a 20 20 match..... gets the whole lot out the way in an evening..... quicker pace and more risks taken for big scores....

rockmonkeysc

Bigger scores? You mean more booze?

This was my beloved Carrera Fury my female friend bought me for £410 back in 2011 from Halfords. Here I took this picture as soon as it was taken off the display and put on a bike stand. It was an ex display model with some scratches to the frame and brakes etc I guess I was unlucky with the bike but it was a brilliant bike and served me well. Unfortunately I got rid of it in 2013 in May and got £330 back for it, it was spotless when I sold it, just as it was out of the showroom.

As you can also see my cousin works for Yorkshire Water and I took a pic against his car when I was out riding one day.

Also there's a nice white girl walking past my bike, I admit she was gorgeous, wish she was mine lol

Pictures of my new Boardman coming up in a moment.

Cody

I've uploaded my Boardman pics to a hosting site I used in 2011, I'll upload them on here in morning at 6am.

Morning, anyone up? Just finished my prayer and I'm going for my first bike ride at 7am, my lights didn't come yesterday and it's a bit dark yet, just going to do 20 mins. It's very cold. My brother advised me not to have a pre-ride meal even though someone on here suggested I should a few pages back. He said something like porridge would take time to digest, approx 1 hour, and leave me with a bad stitch when cycling. He's done a nutrition course so I'm assuming he knows what he's talking about. But then again you lot are cyclists, you would advise me different. I've just had a banana and some water.

paul.skibum

I suggested you have a meal before cycling and your brother is not entirely correct (IMO).

Fatty foods and too much protein prior to exercise is a bad idea, they are very slow to digest - but a carbohydrate based meal such as cereal/porridge made with water will provide you with quick release carbs after eating which should be food for your body to use. Even a slice of toast and jam would be a start. Yes, you might want to wait 5-10 minutes after eating before heading out and not have an enormous bowl full but if you go and ride and expect to be able to perform well having not eaten since the night before you will struggle and your body, starved of energy reserves to power your muscles, will turn protein to carbs (as its easier to do that quickly than fats) in order to power you - counter productive in terms of muscle building and fat burning as that protein comes from your muscles.

You should (assuming your bike ride is actually worthy of being called a work out) have a light carb/high protein snack after to refuel the body and help the body build and repair muscles. A serving of chocolate milk (or soya based versions if milk isn't in your dietary constraints) is actually a very good recovery drink. I tend to make a smoothie after a ride to do the job but will buy a choc milk if I am in the right place to do so.

Do I even need to add a comment to this...

rockmonkeysc

I eat porridge ten minutes before getting on my bike for a fairly hilly 17 miles every morning with no ill effects. If you have nothing to eat before a ride you will just crash, it's like trying to drive a car with no fuel in the tank, when it's empty you're going nowhere.

paul.skibum

True dat.
