Last night I went for a quick blitz with Alex and Cookey. I seem to have a habit of riding with these guys when I haven’t ridden off-road for a while. This is always a bad idea because (a) I am more out of shape than usual and (b) they are more in shape […]
Well, the insurance company have again come up trumps. So far everything has gone smoothly and a new Specialized Rockhopper Disc should be winging it’s way to us soon. I spent a bit of money upgrading the lock that they knackered this time around and later today I shall be purchasing a Shed Shackle and […]
Well, I’ve just been to the Cop Shop and got back Sin:Dee! Yay! All my efforts to make it unappealing to thieves have paid off - apparently they just left it lying in the car park and rode off on Anne’s Cinder Cone.

Time away with friends (shout out to Paul, Laura, Vanessa, Vicki, Sarah and Caz) is […]

Last week I took delivery of a new set of pivot bearing and a gear hanger for the Orange. I intended to fit them over the weekend but first I needed to buy a torque wrench.

Yesterday’s forecast:
Tomorrow will be overcast with light showers
Translation:
Tomorrow will see very light drizzle as you leave the house, turning into full on, drench-you-to-the-bone rain as you get closer to work.
To add insult to injury, the rain is just getting heavier. Mmm, I am so excited about the ride home…
In other news, O2 have just sent […]
