It's like that here too. I wanted to trade in some of that overtime and hit the trails, but
typically, everything went [censored] up when I wanted to leave.

Feh, excellent. Hopefully we'll be sharing the same nice weather up here. Time to smoke a bowl and
go riding I think 🙂

Yeah, If I'd had more notice it was gonna be like this, I'd have booked a day - just found some
bloody _fantastic_ riding trails I'm dying to explore 5 miles from our door, up Longridge Fells way,
Forest of Bowland, just above Kemple End.

Looking good. Got the rest of the week commuting in lovely sunshine, and the weekend should be sun
with some cloud, just right for a good bit of riding.

Hope you have a nice holiday Sunday SBD!

Mike - 4/20, and after the damage of 4/15 I could use a little holiday myself! ;^|

bloody awful weather if you ask me - meant to be at home revising for up coming exams and suddenly
find myself out on the SS down in the woods...

Unfortunately the rest of Birmingham thinks the same and being school hols don't help, all the
townies have come out from hibernation and have a winter's worth of rubbish to dump on the
trails :-(

..but the SS is defiantly making summer creaking noises as opposed to winter creaks - you can tell
by the way the pitch has gone up and the BB has stopped squelching and started rattling..

Excellent.

Although I got out later than I'd hope, I still managed to get in 2 1/2 hours this evening,
exploring the local trails. There's some really nice stuff near me actually.

Acearoo! Might try and get out for a few hours this w/e meself, but I got stuff like organising to
move some more gear from flat to house to do as well. I'm hopeful though.....

Shaun aRe - I bloody live for sunny rides!

Excellent.

Gotta get my mate Paul up there. We went for a walk up there Sunday, first thing I sez "[censored],
this'd be great on't maantin' bike! Wonder of it's allowed?" Then, I seeze loads of tire tracks,
later, a few riders, then bridleway signs and hoof prints. Yeeee-haaaaa!!! Thinks I ',;~}~

Sweet!

Wish I had a car sometimes, so I could get to good trails more often and put the miles in.

I gotta start getting back into it - fitness is coming back to me now, with my 11 - 12 miles
commuting each day, and I'vve been pushing my pace up each journey. Made it home (5.29 miles, big
hill) in 20 minutes yesterday, on the 36 lb base, with about 10-15 lb of pack on my back. 5 minutes
faster than I managed on the considerably lighter and skinnier tyred Trek I borrowed. So, I know I'm
getting there.

Also beat my previous best ever recorded max speed on an MTB this morning, doing 38.1 mph.
Yesterday, I managed 36 mph in a 30 zone, and passed 5 cars (they were slowing for the lights
though, still, didn't stop them being rather upset...).

I know my fitness doesn't rate by general comparison with some others, but I'm finally getting my
'compete with my own fitness' drive back ',;~}~

Shaun aRe - Glad you found some good ridin'!

the cranks have long since welded them selves onto the axle and i'm too lazy to take a ball puller
to it and too much of a wuss to ride around with the bolts out until they fall off by them selves.
Anyway - this is my no money bike - only free stuff ever gets put on it, so have to wait until one
of my mates is finished with their BB :-)

It was. Took the bike to Grizedale Forest but couldnt park near the Visitor Centre. Bloody
schoolkids and their schoolbreaks.

Trying to ride and suck an icecream I got distracted by the new Tourist Attraction. www.goape.cc Its
a 2+hour adventure experience, an aerial assault course of rope bridges tarzanswings, rope walkways
and slides. It looks great but its expensive as youre paying for safety protection. [censored] wouldnt
let me play - go ride your bike old chap, we're not insured for pensioners and oldies. Not many
youngsters found mud to ride through today, I did Whoopee Mike
