I was thinking more of your child-minding duties this week, but yeah - toughen up mate!What? Having Covid wasn’t a good enough excuse mate? I’ll try better next time.

They are indeed. Not too bad.. better than expected, especially given 175mm cranks. Would like to get an extra 10mm out of the SIDs.. cut down bottom out bumper maybe, but definitely hacky.
As always with first rides, had a shopping list by the end of it haha. Oversized pins for OneUp dropper, shorter stem, wider bars, smaller vol spacer for shock, wheels, tyres.. it never ends.

Took miss 2 out on the old hardtail/macride setup around the block. Thank god she likes being on the bike, I'm finding I'm in a much worse mood on days I don't get on the bike at all.
Is this an addiction?
Also gave the t7 a proper wash after Thursday's mud-fest, with the help of miss 2.
Just now come in from the shed defeated from trying to move that BB spacer over to the non drive side of the crank to stop the creaking - apparently my BB cap removal tool doesn't fit. I got the 3d printer working tonight and have found a CAD file of what i hope is the appropriate tool, so I'll print that tomorrow and hopefully get that sorted in time for a ride on Monday before work.

Good to see even more trails going in on your network. Pretty damn fine, as a local, and definitely worth a visit from any mainlanders heading down on the ferry.

I served venison steaks in a stroganoff style sauce as the main one Christmas. Fuck that was a good meal! It blew a few minds and supe gran asked for hers to get another lick in the pan to "well done".Roadkill Rudolph was my main “What the?”…
Maybe roast rabbit this Easter?

Mum does a Morrocan style roast rabbit with (IIRC) almonds, sultanas, a little orange water and some spices. It is ridiculously delicious. I highly recommend it!

That sounds pretty good.
Made some pheasant inquires yesterday through a few chefs and a supplier. It isn't going to be easy to get and most dealers require a fair lead time. There's one local retailer that does game and it isn't listed on their site. But chicken is among their game birds. I might have to see if I can get some delivered to work and be working that day or face the chance of "nah dude...never turned up" or "yeah there it is next to the coffee machine. It came in yesterday. What is it?"
During the rains the last 2 weeks I stripped and serviced everything on the bike. 1.5 hours into the first ride, put my foot off the pedal and I think it got caught a little on a rock and the pins hit the back of my leg. Looked down and could see was white and no blood. 6 hours in a hospital and 9 stitches later. Also get my new 5-10's delivered today...

Fark, that's a ripper...
Always scarier when it doesn't bleed.
Heal up mate. Muscles/tedons okay presumably?
Yep muscles and tendons fine. I rode out the 10 mins and was walking fine. The thing that worried me was I had no pain and no bleeding. Only used some neurofen at 1am last night because I think I kicked it in bed.

Hope you heal up well.
That's why I don't like running long pedal pins, I gashed the front of shin about 12 years ago.
