[pink poodle]

They rang my mobile on Wednesday... asked for me by first,second and family name - I agree that’s weird , I don’t ever use my middle name


Gonna go back to my Dogs name , first street blah blah

You don't think they have access to the massive amount of mined and retailed data that's out there?

Isn't Ancestry.com owned by one of those creepy churchy groups?

I know it was founded by ex BYU graduates. No one who isn’t a Mormon goes there. It’s foundation and development was always tied to the LDS. I won’t assume there’s necessarily anything nefarious in that....but I’m alway cautious of anyone holding too much information on people, and what they do with it (particularly on selling, or having it stolen).

I’m not naive enough to think it’s not already being collected, held and sold already.

and with services like Ancestry, It doesn't even need to be you giving them the rights to the information, It could be one of your distant relatives spilling the beans thinking that they are doing the family tree a good service..Can't stop it, just a fact of life in this day and age

Local hardware store (just a Home one but still has a bit more of a hardware store feel to it) is closing down in a few weeks... fucking Bunnings man..

Wind.

 

[Ultra Lord]

Wind.

Yup. It always feels like a headwind when riding up hill, and a cross wind when jumping. Fucking wind.

Riding on the beach it seems that you are always riding into the wind. One day I will learn this and at least ride out with the wind.

I don't always do this, but when I do I always ride way too far and then struggle to make it back.

 

[Dales Cannon]

I don't always do this, but when I do I always ride way too far and then struggle to make it back.

Have lost count the number of times I have decided to ride agin the wind on the outward leg on the basis that it will be easier coming back only to fight the fucking wind all the way back to camp. Worst I did was to ride 13km on sand tracks and then come back along the beach with 6/4psi in the tyres against the wind. Next time I rode on the hard sand with 20 pissies then deflate and rode the inland track home.

 

[pink poodle]

That's the wind...always fucking with you. Feels like it gets inside my head and blows around

 

[Cardy George]

Don't ever move here then. There's NOTHING to break up the wind. I crawled home the other day in a climbing gear because of the 30km headwind. Occasionally it works in my favour and I get a 30km tail wind, but not often enough to balance it out

 

[moorey]

Ride backwards, der.

 

[nathanm]

OH FFS.

After hunting for a I-Spec B nut and bolt unit for a week and finding none available in Australia I literally, 1 hour ago, bought a new Zee shifter from MTBdirect for $55 as it was the only 1 they had left.

just got an email from my LBS -

I just called Shimano and they have 1 in stock (not showing on B2b). I've just popped an order in to secure it.....will let you know when arrives.

God damn it

There was a couple of light rain showers early this morning. I've fucked around all day doing nothing in particular, but have been intending to go for a ride all day. Got set and headed off on the 7km ride to the trail...


You know what happened. I made it about halfway when it started to rain. I took shelter in a random car port for a while but eventuate decided fuck it km going home. I got real wet on that rode home. Then the rain stopped when I was about 100m from home.

 

[steve jobs' pancreas]

Rained as I checked the surf this morn, fuck that I'm not getting wet !

Shrinking parking spots. Even without the bikes, I’d be over the line both ends, for cuss sake.

 

[Haakon]

Growing car sizes. Even with the bikes, I’d be well inside the line both ends with a normal car, for cuss sake. View attachment 362946
