    Monty you terrible hunt

    Great night out with the current wife, but not enough food, but plenty of ale

    Today is a run followed by daddy day care as the wife goes and spends a fortune on her hair

    Later is the beer festival with friends coming over - which will be fun

    So imagine if your wife is fed up with your marathon/ultra training and agrees that you should start racing bikes - what race bike would you buy?

    Sunshine today! would be a nice day to introduce myself to Dumfries cycling club but we are heading down to go walking with the gf's friend who has recently moved north. Just getting some work done early because I realised I was too drunk last night to check it all over. Someone sent me something highly confidential in error yesterday, obviously I should delete it but it scares the cr4p out of me that he might make this mistake with our stuff. On the plus side, hit my 1000 unique beers last night so I can give up drinking horrid beers...

    Lovely mushroom omelette for me this morning, with a good grating of parmesan. Dog, chores and haircut later.

    Proper racing? Something you can afford to crash a lot as far as I understand it. 2nd hand Caad10?

    Too nice to crash. Dolan preffisio or the ribble alu audax thing. Ten a penny.

    Sunny weather, off cycling.

    Morning folks,
    Traditional slow start is being enjoyed. Second cup of tea is on the go, coffee next. Need to go and help a mate get his crappy Chinese imitation Vespa started so he can get rid of it. Other than that pottering and stuff.
    H to the power of 3 has a point TLW. But it's the cross season coming up so you need a CX bike for now. Recommend anything with discs. Pro6 is good, but there are cheaper and newer designs. PX have a few cheap ones. Look at the CX bit of the forum. Then you'll need a road race bike in the spring.

    I wonder if they do a lickenroll as well?

    Good lie in needed and had. Luckily were not upmto much yet. May head to the coast this afternoon and let the hound have a good run around. I'm also hoping the bike shop has managed to get bold of the replacement front fork on my bike which they've had hold of to a while now.

    put the image online somewhere, postimage.org or similar, flickr works too

    get the direct link to it, for instance... 
    https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4440/36840524961_6901022878_o.png

    or... 
    https://s26.postimg.org/acbwp4k7t/imageedit_1_3650141775.jpg

    put the image link inside img tags, like this...
    [img]https://s26.postimg.org/acbwp4k7t/imageedit_1_3650141775.jpg[/img]

    result...

    I'm using Flickr as it is big enough to hold the files.

    So I've gone to the forward arrow bit, then selected BBCode:

    Got ya you little beauty!

    How do I make sure that Imposter and fatwaster and other weirdos can't see my Flickr account and just pictures that I've posted?

    Do they have to upload pictures of MESSIANIC bicycles onto forums? If so then that's a bloody hard course to pass, I can tell you that much,

    if you've got a load of public accessible content there, the simplest is don't use flickr images you want to put on br

    use something anonymous that needs no account, or set up a separate account just for this type of thing

    but if you want privacy, don't put personal info on public sites, though it sounds a bit late...

    Never mind all that Matthew. I just bought the latest Cyclist mag from Tesco and there's an article on caps in it, written by Ianto Barker (No c*nt spells it with a Y).

    Haven't put personal info that I don't mind being out there on Flickr, this Flickr account is only hosting piccies of Dirk.

    If I mark it all as private will it only allow people to look at the picture on the BR forum and not actually in the Flickr account? At the moment its marked as public picture.

    I saw that one. He reckons that the pros set the rules, amateurs follow - and that's the way it should be.

    What a load of bollox.
