What did you do during the downtime?

Aux1 · June 2007

I went for a ride lol [:D]
Then had a drink with my bro, we discussed physical fitness, sports gear, music and birds [:D]
Then I slept, woke up, went to work and here I am on the forum again!

I like this forum, you get info much sooner because there are lots of members and the people are generally quite nice! [:)]

To clip or not to clip, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind of men to suffer the dings and contusions of unclipp'd riding, or to bind thy feet against a sea of gnarly singletrack and by these contraptions, ride o'er them with ease. To clip... to slip no more, and by clipping to end the buttache and the thousand natural shocks that ryders are heir to; tis a consummation devoutly to be honed. No clip - to slip perchance to be thrashed most heinously...

I got stuck into decorating the living room!!!! Can't get out at the moment on the bike, so didn't really have much choice

Ditto. Watched the cricket and contemplated a ride on the new beast but then the thunderstorm hit.

I got on with my "normal" real life like I always do.

Actually I hovered over the bf's shoulder while he was browsing on Ebay for some upgrades for my bike [;)]

In that case I take back that comment as I don't want to have an unfortunate accident on the way home or maybe be subjected to a curse that results in sudden hair loss.................Hey! Wait a minute, what's happened to my hair

Lol seriously, on a ride a few weeks back I was telling him about a dream I'd had where I fell off my bike in a particular way and seconds later he fell off his bike the same way!!

And months ago when Nodrog2 was about to do a jump on camera I thought "ooh I hope the wind doesn't blow that bike over cos Gordon'll go flying" and the wind blew the bike over and Gordon went flying!!!

I'm cursed.

Fozz - A WEEK??? I feel sorry for those poor unfortunate folks...

I did what I was told and went and rode my bike. Went to Glentress with Dave and some guys from his work. It was ace, I was still under the amazing spell of "The Kirroughtree Effect", cleared "The Evil Step" with ease and flew down spooky wood,taking all the best lines. I even got to the end not that much after Dave than I was at the beginning![:D] I'm sure it will wear off soon though.....

Thanks Derek! Was well pleased with myself! One funny bit was on the section after Spooky Wood, where we found a big digger and a slightly mad diversion through lots of mud and roots. Took me by surprise and just goes to show how you get over familiar with trails sometimes!!!
Hows the wrist today?[:)]

What did I do when the forum was down? I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't stop sweating, every cell in my body yearned for it. 'Oh the forum!' I moaned!

Actually I went to play snooker, won 6-0 and got pissed.

When I wasn't hovering over bf's shoulder (not LITERALLY, I'm not actually a witch) I was sitting on the floor of the spare room staring at the new hydraulic brakes he's very kindly bought for me longing for the weekend to roll round so I can get them fitted [:D]

ROLL ON SATURDAY!!!

Just be prepared for the endless rubbing and squealing! Only joking, should be a nice improvement.

Haven't tried them yet (tut!), aim to get them fitted this weekend and try them out on a short-ish local ride. I just haven't got round to it yet, too busy with other things [:)]

My new back brake pads were REALLY noisy all weekend so I did that thing where you put copper slip on the back of the pads. Sorted!![^]
