What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[fatboyonabike]

Yeah you filthy lake people can stay away! You're not missing much unless you like massive crowds and dust? I got up there this arv and had a reasonable time avoiding the crowds. The dirt lumps and new jumps free up most days about 430/5pm.

Yeah...Whitebridge was packed too, was passed by 3 people today waiting for the Mrs to catch up...busiest I have seen in in ages!

 

[moorey]

Only half your stash, no doubt.

Half of the small spare stash.

After giving away the unwanted tyres and a tip run.

In my defence, that pile I just gave you was donated to me to donate on…

Do you get many fuckwit trail runners out there? I saw one today climb onto a berm to allow a bike to pass...then run along the top of the berm while bitching to their trail mate about all the bikes on the bike specific trail.

Ordered this chainring from a Polish component company called Alugear.
49 euro free shipping with a promised 3-5 day delivery.
Sure enough Fed Ex rolls up on the 5th day.
So quite a bit cheaper than a RF chainring, machining seems nice. And it was cheap. Win win.

Quarantine or lockdown?

Quarantine. My eldest attends one of the schools affected by the Al-Taqwa cluster so we were all home-bound for 14 days. Fun times!

I didn’t think you could be out on the roadie if quarantining is all.

Finished on Saturday, so Sunday was the first ride. Everything before that was indoor trainer (so boring)

Yeah, can imagine. Not sure I could do the trainer thing.

You could replicate your normal rides by having one of the kids spray you with the hose, while the other throws mud bugs and spiderwebs at you, and your wife blasts you with a high speed fan. You will need to dim the lights a bit as well.

And the kamikaze wallabies? No, just not the same.

Fill a pillow slip with dirt? Train the dog the jump at you? Oh I know...smear dog food on yourself, ride when the dog normally has dinner...problem solved.

Nothing exciting, just nice to be back commuting on the bike and doing a few little stairs and jumps instead of sitting in the car. Bike still dirty from January’s crash.

Way to hog up the priority seats!

Destroyed my new rear wheel. So much for being enduro rated, made out of cheese.
