Isn't it just! Booooo!

Nice collection.

I've got a HR, and the needle does go to nearly 2k on cold startup.

Last gig - Scroobious Pip and Dan le Sac in liverpool. Last album(s) - The Naked and Famous, Wolfmother, and the White Stripes (bit late to the party on that one)

If you have to ask...

I can see where you are going with this, but I don't think it is.

...brave pills and ear plugs not included.

It was a trade-off of course. Some mega steep uphills were more easily dispatched, but the Road was more tricky. And I couldn't put a foot out on the rough stuff

Thought he had been made redundant or something for a minute!

Yay! time off, and therefore a new big ride! On Sunday me and my best bezzie bike mate Phil decided to take on one of the great Lakes passes for the first time - the Walna Scar Road. The ride starts near Coniston, before heading west and over the hills to the Duddon valley. We stopped at some old slate mine workings for a snack before the big pull up the actual road itself (just visible top right.) Its a chuffing big climb, my front wheel was all over the place. Eventually it kicked up again and we had to dismount. A pause at the top for breath, and then into the unseen descent. And what an epic! we had to stop a couple of times, as the arm pump on one section was absolutely killing us! It really was worth all the effort, even if I had to be a bit more circumspect than Phil, being clipped in on a hardtail. We were having too much fun to take pics on the downhill, but here's some from the web: It'll make an ideal practice ground for that eventual Alps trip!

Nice one Chris, poor show on the pics though!

Nice

Great pics! I would imagine at 33mpg aveage, you were easy doing over 400 miles between fill ups?

not got a photobucket or flikr account mate? they're a bit small.

First ride today after 10 solid days and 120 hours at work! Went to Whinlatter to do the Red north and South, nice and gentlly! Wore the clipless pedals too, just for help on the hills, but it didn't turn out too bad. A touch of drizzle on the way round, but otherwise dry. Felt much better for it afterwards. No pics as its my usual route, but here's a wee MTB video to keep you amused:

Normally watch both too, but was at the pub. iplayer here we come...

Oh yeah. Even if handled like a complete lemon, i'd still have it over a 599 GTO.

Lukely, News corp bought the domain thesunonsunday.com a couple of days ago!

Nice wheels those, you won't see many others.

Liverpool Victoria at a guess.

A more subtle front bumper, and much to my surprise, I'm all over that!

Well as they basically admitted that they pay (and have no problem with paying) police officers for info, I would guess not! As editors, they probably should know where stories come from? As for Murdoch, have you watched Fox News? While I'm sure the Sun is a paragon of cutting edge language, the content certainly isn't. Certainly you can tell these days that virtually none of the paper is assembled by people who aren't just sitting in front of the internet at their desks.

Plus the Press Complaints Commission are worse than useless! I bet there was triples all round in the the NOTW boardroom after Mulclair and Goodman got their scentences. Bet it saved a lot of higher staffers blushes.

Too right....and more explosive revelations to come. Pete NOTW shurely?
