Half English Half scottish. So glad I married an englishman with a four letter surname! Nobody ever got the spelling of my maiden name right!

And now I want a road bike too...

We also see our rides as time together....finally the kids are getting bigger and I can finally get away more!! The only problem is before I started riding I used to moan about all the money my husband would spend.....now I want the same things.....now its double the spares, bombs, etc not to mention a bottle of stans and lube now doesn't last long.....It turns out Im not a "cheap date" after all

cuddling...

Print her pic and put it on the wall next to where Spencer sleeps. All men like pinups!!

me too....

THAT is a different story......Im already eyeing one out in the classifieds.....Lots of shmoozing to do to convince hubby!

???Thats why I will NEVER buy a white mountain bike with a white saddle! It looks good but is not practical. I have a black 2nd hand metal frame bike. If I fall the only crying I'll do is for myself! The bike is always fine! I use my bike to get to places and see things many people cant even with a 4x4, (or its too far to hike) Often the reward means dealing with the mud, rocks and bush to get there but that is all the fun!!

My only issue is some locals that share the trails as footpaths doing their business in the path...never understood why if there is bush nearby.....its just gross

I just cant make any "roadie" jokes anymore!

Dear Mountain bike I am so sorry I did not ride you today, I left you alone in the corner of the bedroom. I lent a friends' road bike too see what the roadies are making a fuss about, I was curious I'd never ridden one before... It was weird, uncomfortable and at 10km I wanted to just come home to you. At 20km Id sorted out the gearing, and stopped panicking every time a car came past, by 30km on the long downhill home I ran out of gears, tucked in and it felt like heaven!! You will always be my first love,but the adultery I committed this morning will now happen regularly. Please understand xxx

I'm too chuffed, I bought seeds on Aliexpress from china for nine different types of strawberries. Was sceptical but thought I'd take a chance. NOTHING germinated after two weeks and I was ready to toss them out, but suddenly now they are coming up!

Why not try again? sometimes they do die if the nutrient solution is mixed just a little too strong

I wish you were in Natal, I would have given you some, Ive got too many! Watch your lettuce spinach and brassicas, they might get eaten, my chooks shred mine!

Talking about treats, have you ever given your dog a whole egg? Its good for a laugh the first time, mine have learn't to gently nibble a hole and lick the inside clean.

Mine will sell their souls for a piece of bread and peanut butter! I was sceptical when read that dogs like peanut butter, but they really do!!

Ive known some chain-smoking alcoholic aunties to make it into their eighties....... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? But seriously it would be interesting in the future to get longevity stats for guys that have doped, its too early to tell now.

I can imagine one day in an old-age home, an old man with wrinkled saggy tribal tatoos being bed bathed by some cute nurses, and those nurses trying hard not to laugh.........

When I did my first 45km group ride...I was suffering with 10km still to go...There are two ways to support a weaker rider, the first( emotional support) is the patient soul riding right next to you, telling you "you can do it". The second, (chemical support )(my OH) ...Pssst...Do you want a GU?

I fully agree. My OH has some mates, and they go out early and literally hurt each other, men and their testosterone! Then we ride later in the afternoon, he is a little less restless then!

Noooo, dont do that. My hubs tried to push me up a hill once and I moaned at him, that I can do it by myself in my own sweet time. If your girlfriend half as stubborn as me, she will be miffed!

okay..forget the SS...get a tandem, you will soon find out if she is the right one!

You ride a Single Speed. My hubs and I ride this way for all rides up to 35km. His SS weighs a ton, so I have a fighting chance of keeping up!
