Racing through Northern farms yesterday in my dehydrated hallucinating state I saw a seagull. The seagull reminded me of the book "Rhyme of the ancient mariner" In it there is a line that goes "Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink" I finally got what the book was on about. It is a major moment in ones life when one starts considering drinking and swimming around in manure water. These desperate thoughts came about through the fact that a well known bike shop sponsors a race where logistically speaking it would be the least problematic to arrange 5 or 6 water points on the route. Instead they deem it necessary to have only one "water point" that gets passed twice on the route and that the so called water point lacks the magic ingredient - H20. What a bunch of ............................. (fill in your own expletives)

Today its Kid Rock - All summer long

One hundred gazillion (said with pinky finger in corner of mouth) is a good number. If you got a heartrate monitor train at 65% and try do about 750 -1000 every weekday. That will help burn your blubbery ass off. If you do weights it apparently burns calories for longer after you stop. Try do at least 3000-4000 on the weekend. You don't mention if you wanna drop weight or just fat though. My suggestion, PM "gnarly" and ask him how he went from a 135kg jabba the hut to a 89kg climbing machine.

Ja especially if there is a couple of lions roaming in the bushes

Ha, maybe they also read the thread. The riding was cool. Maybe I'll geev heem anutha chants. But if they let me down again i am going to cut the lion enclosure fence down the road and leave a trail of ox blood all the way to their kitchen.

You forgot to tell us about the worst part of it. How did you get the foul taste out your mouth after licking the waiters arse to get any service?

More importantly, why is it not called a "saddle post" when a saddle is called a saddle? Or why don't they call a saddle a "seat" when a saddle sits on top of a seat post?

Without the luxury of "controlled environment testing" here's a tip. Take an ear bud and go to the biggest bastard climb you can find. Ride it as hard as you can until blood starts running from your eyes. Take note of your heartrate and dab the blood using the earbud. Take the earbud to the nearest lancet lab and tell them to test it for you.

Who knows if entries are still open? Are there line entries?

Dear Admin, Please private mail me the offending ad. I would love to see naked chicks on bikes. If she's hot i might even buy their crappy product.

My guess, there is a product made by Spanjaard called "penetrating spray" Spray it onto the cleats and leave for 10 min. What you also want to do is "shock" the cap screws. If you take a solid steel punch place it on the head of each screw and hit it with a hammer the shock will generally break the "rust weld". For a cheap fix pour some coke on the cap screws. I've heard the acid eats the rust which might help loosen them.

My mate "94" did that at the Magalies monster last year but i forgave him cos he got sand in his vagina going up the first climb.

Bump..... and yes i rode without you cos you took your brrrrak to a dog show. Count yourself lucky.

i agree the riding is great but if you go there make sure you take ALL your dietary requirements cos the service at the restaurant is without doubt the worst..... ever....anywhere....

I've got Bontrager tubeless wheels. I hit an exposed tree root yesterday and a spoke nipple broke. I have time to send it in to be repaired but my question is if this happens on a weekend away how the hell does one get the plastic/vescanite inner rim section out to remove the broken nipple. There is no obvious split? Would I have to slide the inner section around and remove the nipple through the valve hole? .....if you know what i mean.....

Spoke England pleez, we can't understand.

Seat angle is important. try ride with the nose a little down. Also try ride your tyres a little softer. Say 1.8 - 2.2, forget about rolling resistance.

If you look closely there is a crack in the frame just where the seat post joins....

So what? I saw Contador with a camel pak yesterday!!

Thats why i'm all for xenophobic violence.

He should have dumped it earlier in the day, we were out that way at 630am and we were looking for somewhere to warm our hands up.

Only fast decents. Otherwise i'm only really happy when i stop.

Thanks scuzzy, had a look, how long did it take to deliver to you?

Are they rechargable? How much?
