    Thinking of giving a gravel bike a crack

    I run the same bars on the hardtail XC MTB that's been 'converted' to a gravel bike. If the riding is straightforward and I want to pretend I'm aero then I just move my hands to either side of the stem. Mind you, these are Answer pro taper 20-20 bars that are probably only 700 and something mm...

    Little Things You Hate

    You know what...it actually shouldn't. It should mean that our roads should be safer for all legitimate road users. But, of course, it fucking won't.

    What might have been......

    A decade or so ago in my 40s ...yeah, I used to wonder occasionally but these days not so much. The only thing I know is that the many choices I've made over the years have made me who I am now. And I quite like the person I am. And I might not like what I could've been.

She and her friend (who is riding an ancient Speedwell Madison) trundle about with the coffee crew a couple of...

    Burners' Backyards: Veggies, Gardening, Landscape & Design

    Finally sorted Stage 1 of the retaining wall out the front. The rest will get done after the slab is extended (with a ring beam) and the new verandah addition is up. So that could take a while. I've averaged two gabion baskets a day...

    Bike wash $WTF

    CT18 for the once a year car wash. Though I did buy a Repco foam cannon and their pink foamy stuff last year and that sort of worked so I might try it with CT18 next time. I don't wash the bikes very often. They get a hose occasionally. If they are still dirty then a microfiber cloth and...
