So there I was on Sunday trimming my hedge with my trusty electric hedge trimmer. Now my garden is mostly level with a steep bank at the side going down to next door. On said bank is a large viburnum which needed a bit of trim, so as I have done so many times before I leant gently over the trellis at the top to g...
Went out to Tremletts today to get a new tube for the back tyre (£16.00 fitted!) and while I was out there thought I'd stock up on consumables for the bikes as I like to have oil and filters 'in stock' as it were. Couldn't remember what oil the Husky takes so I asked John and he said Huskys take 10-60 so I took h...
OK folks, a quick thank you to the members of Devon TRF i rode with last week. Special thanks to Roger, Paul, Jim and Rob for leading the rides i was on. I still find it hard to believe how many trails there are in your county..... brilliant! As I mentioned, there is an open invite to ride the trails of North...
Saw Kev's wife Sally today. Apparently he's still got a long road to recovery and probably some more operations to repair the damage. He at home but VERY bored and would welcome phone calls or visits to break up the boredom as he's not able to do much at the moment.
After yesterday's debacle, involving a long ride and the AA, having ruined my weekend, I've decided that I no longer want to be paying money to continually fix the Urban. Don't get me wrong like, it's been a right lark owning it and it's been great for a run around the town, getting to and from work and the...
A certain chairman found the need for a new category to go along with badger,squirrel etc today whilst riding down 192- 235 this dismount involves draping yourself over a tree branch whilst stopping suddenly and allowing the bike to continue on its merry way. it was instantly christened the "a...

I thought I better pop my head in to say all is well up North (well North Somerset). Spring started with Ben (slick) visiting his mate Kevin in Bath...so it would be rude not to have a day out on the bikes- All these byways are within ten miles of the centre of Bath- [IMG]https://i273.photobucket.com/al...

Anyone know about these people and the tech involved? http://www.nilco2technologies.co.uk/ Customers came in Sat with 2 lunch boxes by their radiator. These contained distilled water. As I understand it, the fuel cell cracks the water molecules into their hydrogen & oxygen constituent...
Evening all, Just had my broadband switched from BT to Orange, so it's been a bit of a faff getting it all sorted. Anyway, now I'm up and running, I'd like to ask if any of you have a tail bag that I could borrow for a few days. I'm due to be riding to a friend's someway East and I could do with a bit more space than...

Well the time has come ... Finally finished preparing the bike for Spain - I think! Got the 15/41 sprockets on for the road journey down through France on all the small roads I can find. Since the Devon Tour - which I really enjoyed despite the lack of the morning bacon roll - I've taken Gruffs advice and:...

Another excellent event, thanks to all who organised it & those who set it all up. I did over 30 laps (stopped counting after 20 ) with only one badger type thing. On a plus side though I tried a 'Noel' & managed several laps without putting a foot down. I also did a lap sat down all the way round, a...

I'm a very happy chappy because I passed the Module 2 part of the A2 test earlier today. Only had two rider errors for an indicator that didn't stay on and my positioning when I was turning right into a road. Out of a possible 15 errors, including those from Module 1, that I could have picked up, I only recei...
