Hurray!
I went out early on Saturday morning hoping to fit in a long ride and still beat the heat of the day. I’ve been expanding my Trough of Bowland loop by taking ever more distant roads over the Bowland Fells into the Lune Valley.
My last ride out this way, over the Tatham Fells, had […]
“What’s that pile of crap?”
Not normally the kind of response I expect from the wife when I get home from a ride on a new bike. Even in the dark she was obviously unimpressed by the 29er I’d been riding for the evening.
Still, maybe she had a valid point. It had been stupendously dull […]
Well, that plan lasted precisely a week. Instead the good wife had booked us in at midday for some local riding club show-jumping. At least all the miles I’ve been putting in lately have slimmed down my shapely calves and I can pull my riding boots on without passing out or throwing up.
Horses are somewhere […]
From Guitar Ted’s blog I followed this link to MTBR about the history of 29ers. Interesting stuff. Even Ross Shafer pops up to deny any involvement ;-)
I remember reading a review of Bruce Gordon’s Rock N Road in an American magazine (Bicycling?) way back in the early 1990s. Although it used 700c wheels and “fat” […]
After a year off I seem to have turned, if you’ll excuse the motorbike analogy, from a hulking great V-twin with plenty of torque and power, but very thirsty on fuel, into a puny little moped. Revvy, noisy (!), goes for hours on a single powerbar and sips of water, but runs out of steam […]
Night riding officially rocks, so when SteveM came up with a plan to go out and get lost on Saturday which then morphed into a plan to ride the Mary Towneley Loop in the dark, I was up for a bit of that.
So how did it go…
We _might_ not have got all the way round […]
I’ve been hob-nobbing this weekend. I had the opportunity of a four day pass out, and Chipps invited to stay over in Calderdale, and then be taken out riding on his new trails.
Inspiration was provided on Saturday night as we worked our way through a small pile of DVDs. The Collective, Manifesto, and finally Pure […]
RIP Zoic shorts.
I knew from the state of the arse before I put them on that it was going to be the Zoics last ride. It was confirmed by the ripping sound as I struggled to get my foot through the left leg, and the inbuilt liner finally gave way.
Ten years was a good lifespan. […]
“I’ve left my shoes at home!”
Inspired by the home nations success on the track at the Commonwealth Games we were on our way out for a ride. Fortunately we were still only a few miles from home filling up on diesel, and unusually, not filling up on chocolate milkshake and tangfastics.
Grizedale, when we arrived […]
Sundays ride was hard.
160bpm for over an hour into a headwind feeling tired and leaden legs. Turns out afterwards that I was doing OK speed wise.
Why does it never feel like that at the time?
I took a few photos while cycling, at least if I drop the cameraphone it’s cheaper than an SLR.

Actually we‚re lying about the Maverick since some low-life stole it.
A dogs dinner of links to stuff that we have arranged in an apparently random manner, though I assure you it made sense at the time.
You know it makes sense.

Remember kids, vinyl can't carry Digital Rights Management.
in no particular order...
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.
In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
Don’t let The Man stop you shooting.
If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
sometimes you just gotta take action, or at least be able to get our hands on the FACTS
