Check your Bike/Horse Riding Partner for Compatibility Issues Here

In the interests of helping those lucky MTBers who find themselves a horse riding woman, or those horse riding women who find themselves a bike riding man* 32sixteen are working on a comparison chart enabling you to see if you are compatible. This is very much a work in progress.
And don’t believe what MBUKids might […]

Where’d the weekend go?

Sore arse today after an 80 mile road ride starting off on damp roads led to serious chafing. It’s so bad that today I’ve commuted on fat tyres, my 24 hour saddle, and a suspension seatpost. After the skinny tyres and high pressure of the Pompino it’s like riding a sofa. Over 300 miles this […]

Puijilittatuq

Just browsing a BBC Magazine article about lost languages. In the sidebar was a rather spectacular Inuktit word.
Puijilittatuq - he does not know which way to turn because of the many seals he has seen come to the ice surface.
What a fantastic word. Words like that should not be allowed to die out. I must […]

An Inspiration

I heard today that John North has Parkinson’s Disease. For someone I rarely see and wouldn’t only dare to call a brief acquaintance rather than a friend I am deeply affected. That someone so naturally talented at climbing and endurance sports, seemingly made of wire and sinew, should be dealt such a bum hand with […]

Not Thetford Enduro

I could get up ridiculously early this Sunday and drive for hours to ride the Thetford Enduro.
This is very tempting. I love Thetford’s swoopiness. That said two of my most disappointing rides have been at Thetford. Oh, I enjoyed the swoops, I was just completely unfit. During Dusk ‘Til Dawn a couple years ago I […]

How retro can you go?

Just been looking for some retro steel hardtail pics and found this…

Who is that thin young thing racing a heavily added to GT Karakoram round the 1993 Potteries Classic at Trentham?

For A Friend

When I’m old and incontinent and wheeling myself around the Home For Retired Singlespeeders - full of other people confined to wheelchairs due to the lack of working knees - what am I going to sit back and reflect on? My career? I’ve not taken jobs I wish I had, and I’ve taken jobs I […]

Bleeding Weather

40mph winds with gusts of 80mph are keeping me grounded today. Local roads blocked by fallen trees. Not that they block the road to someone who can pick up their vehicle and climb over them. But I don’t fancy being under one when it goes. I should be out on a four hour ride somewhere. […]

That is the Irish Sea

Xmas was two weeks of lazing around. Xmas Eve I’d done a 30 mile errand to pick up some shoes left on a shop counter by my wife. It had rained, hard. It was hardly the best way, as it turned out, to end 2004.
By New Year I needed to get out and ride.
On New […]

For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
