Going to give this morning's Christmas time trial a miss, unless the weather drastically improves, might have a go on the rollers instead.0 -

Exactly the same here. Minus the fog, hound weights and coffee. Apart from that, exactly the same.0 -
Horrid out there, cycled into town to collect car from yesterday’s fun, then a decent but muddy trail run and now bored shitless whilst eldest has a snowboarding lesson.
Stevo - might want to buy some downhill kit off you as I’m thinking about going down a big mountain in Africa0 -
I've got two lots of most things and am needing to have a bit of a clear out soon, although apparently Veronese junior is also on the hunt for DH gear. Drop me a line and let me know what bits you're after.TLW1 wrote:Stevo - might want to buy some downhill kit off you as I’m thinking about going down a big mountain in Africa

Hmm a roller workout to Christmas tunes.oxoman wrote:Morning All. Survived last night's over indulgance after suffering during the day due to night shift spankers ineptitude. Very moist outdoors so contemplating rollers. Currently being subjected to continuous Christmas music, Bah Humbug.
Can't find anything on Youtube, maybe it was banned.0 -
Morning everyone.
Washing up, eating Bombay mix and having some cider. Silly cartoons on the telly. Having lots of problems logging in here, anyone else having this?
Much more of this and I shall FLOUNCE. Ecrasez l’infame0 -
Picked up the Christmas beef. Rib roast weighing close to 4kg. Now cleaning the fridge because it's fcken disgusting.
Can't see me doing much else today other than going to buy cheese from posh deli in Wimbledon Village.
Still sound like a consumptive on his last few breaths, but I feel a bit better today.0 -
Morning folks,
Traditional slow start has been enjoyed. Got to do a few bits and bobs today.
The solution to sounding consumptive is to consume more I reckon Hopper. TLW we don’t want to get into a bidding war with Stevo as the vendor. Unless of course we pay him in a pub and then stitch him up by making him pick up the tab. I told the lad I’d buy him body armour, he reckons he’s going to stick with his bike and replace bits as they break. I reckon wheels first then forks or frame.0 -

People who came downhilling on 'normal' MTBs usually ended up retiring early on account of knackered bikes. So he might be doing a fair bit of replacing."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

see - if you would have taken my advice last night you'd be fine now.
you could always get the trilogy off Prime tonight and sort yourself out properly in time for Chrimbles.

Flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, flounce, ...
Exactly the same here but no hound, wind or weights, just very foggy which makes it exactly the same.
Going for a wobble after I collect the muppets from swimming.
You're doing down hill proper anyway Stevo.

Very true but I suspect I will end up doing a lot of the replacing.Stevo 666 wrote:People who came downhilling on 'normal' MTBs usually ended up retiring early on account of knackered bikes. So he might be doing a fair bit of replacing.
He’s a pretty big lump and quite heavy on the bike. But I’m hoping trying to ride on a hardtail it will last long enough to teach him to pick his lines carefully. Hopefully that way he won’t trash something more expensive. Current frame is a Kinesis, but only paid £5 off the Bay for it as it looks scruffy.0 -
As I recall it was mainly spokes, tyres/inners and brakes that got mullered on normal bikes.Veronese68 wrote:

Whereabouts will you go for DH'ing? Not a lot down in the SE of England."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Mmmm....beef
Now talking garden gates with the present Mrs. Might be a project for next year, as I might be doing some metalwork.

Hmm, wheels will definitely fail first. Good job I can build wheels. Shopping for strong 26” rims in the sales then.Stevo 666 wrote:As I recall it was mainly spokes, tyres/inners and brakes that got mullered on normal bikes.

You are doing 'Kili'?! Amazing. Amazing mountain. You can see the (dwindling) white cap from Nairobi.
My favourite place is Tsavo West, which is at the foot of Mount Kili. My sister climbed it.
Have a few of these whilst you are there:

Tried whankking out the cold. Lost interest. Must either be too old or too ill. Or not watching pitch perfect.
Got to churn out roast rib of beef, gammon, roast potatoes, yorkshires, parsnips, carrots and sprouts tomorrow for 1.30, plus gravy.
I've bought gravy from the butcher, as I just can't be arsed with the faff of making the stuff while trying to get everything else sorted to be on the table at the same time.
I can't even muster up any interest in choosing wine. :roll:
I normally enjoy this sh1t.0 -
Fcken colds.0

I would turn up. I could make it for 1.30 if I left soon. But I won't. The gravy will be 'orrible and the host, plain miserable. I also don't like the thought of dew drops dripping in the what's cooking.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

The host would be very cheerful if Pinno turned up!
The gravy will be fine, it cost enough.
Dew droppage is highly likely though...
There's going to be a load of leftover beef. Mrs H3 is going to make a fresh loaf of bread on Christmas morning. Me, she and mini will then go to the pub while it cools. We shall come home and eat beef sandwiches and very fine cheeses, while watching Christmas telly. You'd be better turning up Christmas day tbh.0 -

Sounds good.

Maybe you should leave Jack. The dog gets excitable around cats.0

Jack would find the dog most delectable.
