Can you actually ride in that position?
I'm usually a bit further forwards on the saddle, but yep. I'm flexible in all the right places and utterly rubbish in others (I can bite my toenails, but I can't come close to touching my toes).
I used to be lower until I realised that I was sloping head down which wasn't great for power output and probably ddn't improve aerodynamics.
I highly reccomend getting someone to take a side on shot of you in the TT position; you'll be amazed at what you look like and what changes you chould make.

a very tired (and grumpy looking) me, in the new club kit - after 120km of wind, rain, hail and hills, and with another 40km of head wind to go.
Did a hard 100 miler yesterday. Stornoway to Hushinish to Tarbert and back to Stornoway. An uncharacteristic northerly wind meant an easy first part to the ride but then 100km of cross/head wind at the end of the day.

I've never seen a Henry Burton before.
Tell us more about the bike please Windy.
The frame is a 631 Aravis Audax - as supplied by Byer Cycles, Hewitt and others. Kit is a mixture of components - Stronglight 48/38/28, 13-23 8sp, tiagra gears, bar end shifters, RSX brakes, Rigida DP18 on Ultegra hubs, Panaracer Pasella 25c tyres and a max flite gel flow saddle.
Henry Burton is a shop in Stafford, started around 1950, in which I worked (on and off) from about 1978 to 1985. The shop used to build their own frames (Charley Bettley was the frame builder) (clicky) (http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/henryburton.html)but now all frames are sourced from outside builders with 'Burton' decals added. My dad used to ride a 'Burton' and did many miles of touring on one in his younger days.
Henry died in the mid-late 70's and the shop is now run by his son, John. The shop is the main sponsor of Stafford Road Club - my first cycle club

Hey! I recognise that bridge... I cycled over it heading west in 2005. It had a steel deck with big gaps and I nearly wet myself.

I probably have the same, sans bike though, taken in the summer of 2005 I think. I had a very poor impression of the place itself, which I found totally uninteresting. I was there for work though, so can't complain. NO was much better, as were some places in the country and along the river banks.

My brother and I are generally into the same stuff - cars, bikes, whatever. But we usually go about it differently....
No helmet, sunglasses, 3/4 troos, steel frame, bullhorns, fixed wheel.
Helmet, no sunglasses, long shorts, carbon fibre frame, drops (with TT extension), 10 speed.

It's funny, with the cycling we each just get on with our own thing and will be genuinely complimentary about stuff - with the cars we don't half bicker.

Thanks for your consideration TimO! As the link was to a art exhibition last year at Institute of Contemporary Arts (http://www.ica.org.uk/) in London, I made the silly presumption that it would be safe for British eye's. But if you feel offended by it I'll edit it.

I'm not offended by it, but a lot of people surf the forum from work, and going to a website like that could trigger alarms on filters/proxies at people places of work, which they would then have to explain to their managers, and which could then end up with the forum also being blocked.
Generally if there is anything which is likely to be even a little iffy (ie nudity), it's a good idea to highlight it so people don't click on it, and then end up in trouble.
Personally I work in Academia, and I doubt they bother to check the logs. Thousands of students doing gods know what would put me way below the threshold of worry!

D'oh, you can tell I don't look at the gallery threads too much...
As for the dishes, putting them in is no problem but it's finding the optimal time for unloading that causes pause (the machine is currently full of clean stuff). I normally let it get half empty through usage first. Once a student...

I like it (and your new avatar) too.

If it is not a daft question, how do I activate the `attachments' bit? It does not show on additional options....
-
I assume you mean that you want to place an image in a post?
If so, first you need to put the image on a suitable hosting site, like Flikr or Photobucket, then find the URL of the image (the easiest way with most browsers is to do something like right click on the image and select "View Image" or look at Properties and Copy the URL part).
Then you just need to place that URL text (for example in GruB's post above, it's http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e81/GruuB/DSCF0899.jpg) between some "img" tags. eg for that URL you would type in something like this:
[img]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e81/GruuB/DSCF0899.jpg[/img]
If you click on "Reply with quote" for a post which has an image in it, you'll see this.
If that all sounds a bit complex, it isn't half as bad as it sounds.
(I've fiddled a bit with tags in this post to make them display as you would type them in, when you submit the post, the software will in effect change this into the image).

You swapped bikes! Why?

You swapped bikes! Why?
And where's the aero lid?
Same here: Why?
-
Because my support only turned up after 5 hours (road - TT bike) and my back was in agony for some reason (first time it ever happened; what a time eh?). The second change happened (about 10 hours in) because the bars were so low that it killed my neck.
Aero lid - I wasn't spending enough time on the drops to make it worthwhile. Additionally, the wind was strong enough that it wasn't safe when in the side.

I've never seen bar-end shifters mounted sideways like that before - do you find shifting more comfortable like that? Or is it just to get the cables into a more comfortable position under the tape?

6 hours is a long time to spend in that position. I assume that you weren't riding as hard as you normaly would do in your usual distance events and paced yourself to at least some degree.
That position is good for shorter and higher intensity rides. But when you're not putting so much effort in and your stomach is a bit more relaxed and you perhaps aren't pulling on the handlebars so much, so riding in a different style, you'd be better off with a more upright position.

I see, so you started out on the road bike?
Interesting that you think wind would affect the lid the most. I would have thought your deep section wheels would make more of a difference?
a) Yup
b) I've added an extension onto the tail and when buses pass my head gets tilted due to the wind! In the crosswinds that day, it would have been lethal!
I've never seen bar-end shifters mounted sideways like that before - do you find shifting more comfortable like that? Or is it just to get the cables into a more comfortable position under the tape?
It's actually just because I got the bike with the ski-bends with the slight bend upwards. When I turned them around so they went inwards, the bar end shifters moved too. I don't find them any worse, so just stayed with them!
6 hours is a long time to spend in that position. I assume that you weren't riding as hard as you normaly would do in your usual distance events and paced yourself to at least some degree.

My normal distance events, ie. 10 miles. Yes; you're right. I did slow things down a touch! There was no time to change the set-up on that bike as I only knew that I'd have support the day before. Given more time, I would have set it up much better.

Oooh !
I didn't know much about scurry racing - tho' Mrs MV is a fan - but I was engrossed by it at the Monmouthshire Show last week. Fascinating - the cornering technique looks like that of a tandem trike racing team. Some real risk-taking.
I wasn't surprised to see that the winners had the smallest wheels and the biggest bloke on the back :)

All in Photoshop actually, just created an animated gif for the moving one. How the hell you even know the shutter delay I can't fathom!
Multiple exposures are fun.
And yes, with too much time on my hands a friend and I are already planning a stop-motion fist fight (which has been done before, though I can't be bothered finding it right now. I may have time on my hands, but that doesn't stop me being lazy...)

Stop motion stuff is fun. I tried to do it when I was shifting a few tonnes of brickwork into a skip. I think I took a photo every ten wheelbarrows worth, and unfortunately I wasn't in quite the same place, or facing quite the same direction, so it took a bit to get the animation looking correct!

You don't look much like the famous Che ;D
Pop quiz: why was Senor E. Guevara nicknamed "Che"?
-
Cause it's an Argentinian colloquialism for 'mate', and he used it a lot?
-
Because, like every Argentine you will ever meet, he used the word much as Californians use the word 'like' (which is to say, in place of a comma); though its meaning is a little closer to 'mate'. This amused the Cubans.

Wrong, it's an Argentinian colloquialism for 'petal', and he used it a lot ;D
-
I am a visiting prof at UNR in Rosario and haven't noticed the "che" much I have to say...
-
I was talking to an Argentine lass the other day (oh dear lord, I could have wept), and she said that her parents use it all the time. Of course, heavy use of 'che' might only be common in pretty informal speech.

However, one should never, ever tuck one's trousers into one's socks on both sides. That is simply common and marks you out to be of the lower orders (or "straights" as they're otherwise known). BPOAB fails on that point alone.

You don't need to be gay to know what is cool and what is not. Ankle length socks of any colour look shite regardless of what type of bicycle you're riding.

Good, I had a chuckle doing it.
The hill is in Shaftesbury in Wiltshire (not in Yorkshire as most people assume).
I thought Shaftesbury was Dorset...
That was before the "Great Yokel Wars". An easy mistake to make. Many maps, including OS maps, continue to make the same mistake. I blame the schools.

Straight Eye For a Queer Guy. Socks other than white look stupid on a cyclist. You can ride a bike but it doesn't guarantee any style. You either have it or you don't.

Darling - that is so wrong. I wear grey Woolie Boolies to ride in. I also have Seal Skinz in both grey and black (as well as white).
White socks, unless worn in summer with full lycra, serve only to mark you out as being a 'racer wannabe' poseur...

I am stung sir, and if I had the sartorial elegance to be wearing a pair of gloves I would dash you about the face with them and challenge you to a duel... ;D
Seriously though, on a bike I wear what I'm comfy with, and what is practical for the type of riding I do. Commuting in all weathers my white socks soon end up grey anyway, and I've got a pair of white ankle length thingies and they just annoyed me for the entire ride.
I take a slightly different approach off the bike (though when one shops in slightly more upmarket establishments style and comfort are not mutually exclusive dahlings :P)
Do people make value judgements about the type of cyclist you are because of what you wear? S'funny, at the Bealach Mor I wore my 3/4 length humvees. Probably the only person not just donning lycra. But I knew what I was comfortable with for that long in the saddle (plus, I haven't got the legs for lycra). Is looking at a cyclist's attire one more step up from checking out (and scoffing at) someone else's bike? Am I asking these questions in pursuit of subtle research?
-
Who defines style ? Me ? I am flattered if you think so. I know what I like. Style doesn't just embrace one's garb. One's position on one's bike speaks volumes about the rider, some people look right some don't. Socks. Wear what you are comfortable with, I mean that. I do. I feel comfortable if I feel good, I feel good if IMO I look good. Me ? Don't judge a book by the cover, unless you cover just another. He looks stupid therefore he's a crap rider ? No, don't do it you are likely to be wrong. But. Looking good phases people, psyches people out, give you an advantage. "He must be serious he has expensive glasses/helmet". It's not about the bike, nor the socks.

We're talking here about adults dressed in Lycra (many of us without a body really designed to model it in public) and silly shoes that make us walk like the Tin-man from Wizard of Oz.
We all look bloody odd so we're just arguing about degrees really.
Npbody out there is thinking "hey, look at that cool guy in white socks".
To 99.99% of the planet's population, we will be "that lycra-clad tosser in black socks" or "that lycra-clad tosser in white socks".
If people think my socks are funny then god only knows what they make of 15 stone crammed into Bib Tights.
Best just to wrap up warm and keep moving so nobody notices any fashion faux-pas.

Nothing more weird in this country than over weight adult blokes dressed in football replica kits as they go about (including their business) IMHO!
Until this is seen as an oddity, I have no issue with Lycra, although I do object to black socks! ;D

I was going to post something very similar. Fat blokes in tight football tops that have been designed for athletic performance is an irony too good to pass up.

Practical though, Pie filling, Curry Sauce, Lager and fag-ash washes out easily.

I think if they are shorter black socks then they are okay, not the mid thigh ones that Anth has on. More discreet is fine. I don't like or wear white socks that high either.
I think we police that hill in Dorset - that is the Wiltshire Police - hope that clears that one up.

Cute! Nice one Frenchie. I remember you posting photos on acf of a newborn Gabrielle. A proper little girl now.

That is already 'wanting' to be like her Dad and make that transition from an average person to becoming a cyclist. ;D
-
Has she got a bike yet?
-
She does have a trike* (still too large for her though!), her own helmet and loves it when we go shopping/wandering or simply commute by bike. I pick her up from school on at least a couple of nights a week and we usually have a fab' time, singing all the way! When the weather's nice or if mummy's going to be home "late" O:-) we even extend the ride back "a bit"...
It is true that she now wants to imitate us; she likes to dress up with her mum's swimsuit, my cycling caps and helmet.
*Santa may bring us a bike, who knows? ::-)
-
I hope you're going to teach her how to put her helmet on the right way round..? ;)

He dressed up as Paganini, the famous violin player as he is the author of his favourite piece of piano music.
Granddad even made a realistic life size wooden violin.

<horn-rim glasses> I think you'll find that that's L. ledides, not halides. Guh-huck.
Oh. Never mind.

Hmm well I should probably start with it being a lemon - a bitter one in fact. I've got a very 'Charlie Brooker' attitude towards most stuff, hence the "bitter lemon"... ;D
The oversized muscly legs are because my legs are totally out of proportion with the rest of my body. I suppose I've got the classic cyclist physique - incredibly skinny upper half (despite the amount of cake I eat :P) and huge legs. The oversized triceps for the same reason - I don't know why but they're out of proportion to all the other muscles on my upper half.
The socks - I'm known for my colourful socks (which are totally at odds with the Charlie Brookeresque outlook, I guess).
The huge eyebrows because I have hugeeee eyebrows, and constantly go on about how much I hate them. They remind me of two slugs attached to my forehead.
The stickyup tuft of brown hair because my hair insists on sticking up on top, ala Burt from Sesame Street.
Oh, and the bike, for obvious reasons. :thumbsup:
In reality I actually look like this:

That doesn't look very challenging, you should try a jump onto the Devil's Chimney (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Chimney). ;D
Here you go, taken just seconds before I leapt over the barrier, and did a little tap dance on top of the chimney ;)

That picture takes me back! Back in 1984 (possibly 1985) I worked for a scaffolding company in Cheltenham and we scaffolded 'The Devil's Chimney' to allow a specialist contractor to literally 'pin' the structure down to the bed rock. I think it might also have been injected with resin to glue it together as it was deteriorating quite badly. I took pictures and had them published in our company magazine. Can't remember the barrier being there but it was a few years ago now!

The last "stage" of the Oxford alleycat on Friday involved applying lipstick:

Wow, good stuff. I moved to Cheltenham 6 years ago and I don't remember the barrier being there then. You could just walk off the edge and tumble 50 feet or so, the way mother nature intended!

31/08/80 Saracen RR nr. Beoley. My last RR win. Although I had many wins in TTs and on the track, I only ever won 3 RRs, all 2nd/3rd Cat events, all in 1980 and all on my own. In this one I jumped away after a prime about a mile from the finish. This is a digital shot from a 1" x 1" thumbnail.

difficult one to answer. I just enjoyed riding a bike and racing. Some races I got pleasure from just finishing, some I remember the excitement at getting 'placed'. I suppose the victories that I have fondest memories of are the GHS 10 in 1976, 1980 Tour of Cannock Chase TT, PB 10 in a Stafford RC club event in 1981, my 3 RR wins in 1980 and a 10 mile scratch event in an open event on Nottingham track in 1978

Sure that was a different picture yesterday too ???
Yeah, but I changed it cause I thought that was a better pic.
I thought I recognised you in the SFACC flickr set :)
You aren't a member are you???
-
No but I have the SFACC in my contacts on Flickr, they used this pic I took of Steve Smith at the Hell of the Ashdown while I was marshalling

Mind you, I've gone from that last year, to so much time not mountain biking that I completely rediscovered the fear and started bottling everything last weekend on a technical trail up north. I ditched halfway and let my brother and his mate carry on.

Ya big jessie! Get on your bike & get out there, hucking gnarly big air or whatever it is those chaps do in the woods ;D

Eeeek - why would anyone ride down that? I think you rediscovered sanity, not Fear. Get back on tarmac like a sensible chap.

Mountain biking is about finding the most difficult way of getting from A to B, for no purpose other than going from A to B, and using it.
Sanity does not come into it.

Hi-Viz AND a Helmet !!
There are some forumites that may find that more disturbing than finding a 666 birthmark on his scalp.
I also wear Hi-Viz and a Helmet but I checked in the mirror and was relieved to find I only have a 999 birthmark on my scalp, PHEW!

Needs more pointy hat ;)
I nearly bought one today - £50 for a Bell aero helmet. Then I realised (a) it would be even more uncomfortable than that standard helmet which has been in the cupboard under the stairs since the ACF Calshot track day in 2006 and (b) I'd have all the gear but no idea. So I didn't.

I usually ride to my races; this has always put me off getting a pointy hat.

(b) has always put me off. It's bad enough having a bike that looks like I know what I'm doing, let alone the pointy hat too.

I've got a pointy hat but not really the times to go with it (I'm getting there though)
Not sure I'd buy one again.

I think you could be right. I will suggest to all the Essex boys that we all get time trial bikes and apparel as faster transit times between pubs will enable us to sink more pints. Can you imagine Wowbagger hooning along on a TT bike with a pointy helmet? ;D

They may well do, I wouldn't know, chicks have never dug anything about me.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Twinkle Toes (according to her) is sooooo embarrassed by the whole lark already. The Cub leaders live next door and wanted some publicity for the group. They are well in with a journo on the local rag. Hey pesto, we find ourselves on the front page and inside on page 5 with colour photo and write up. All TT's mates have seen it as have all the other Cubs. Publically getting such exposure with your evil step dad is well uncool. Privately I suspect it might be a slightly different story.
Ryan, the journo, wants us to take some snaps on the may round so he can publish a follow up. At which point TT will probably put herself up for adoption. Madonna might be getting a call from her ;D
-
She don't want anything to do with a cheating, coke snorting Argentinian footballer.
Oh! Madge the gap toothed crooneress.
Give TT a bargepole- quick!
-
Speaking of shorts, isn't Twinkle Toes going to need some padded ones for 100 miles? Otherwise she'll have to rediscover the delights of Sudocrem nappy rash cream :hand:

Hugely swollen lip - I can't eat very easily, drinking's only possible through a straw and I can't smile without a lot of pain!

Tough luck Gonz. Watch that toothbrush carefully. :o

There are some local YACF folk that will be having said form and a Biro shoved under their noses. You know who you are and we thank you very much ;D

I think, back in the mists of time, it was her that came up with the handle first. I can't remember when or how though I think it has something to do with Wogan who refers to his Missus as such. As you might guess there has been a Previous Mrs R.

See Rides and out and about (or whatever it is called) for a brief description of my grovel over a few bumps. It certainly makes you appreciate a) warm rain (where warm is any temperature above freezing point) and b) the Mountain Rescue guys and gals who gave up their time to watch us all safely off the mountain. Big YAY to them.

Actually most of the ride was really nice. The scenery was fantastic and the weather wasn't too bad. It was just this one wee bump in the middle with the gentle headwind (OK, rather high pass and a gale in your face) that made it a mite tricky.

How many really odd things can you see?
-
Your helmet looks well big Gonz?
-
Deep profile rim on the front, but on the back there's neither a deep profile rim or disc.
-
The only thing out of place is the fixed wheel you've stuck in your otherwise 10 speed tt bike
-
compact.
-
Some people actually watching someone else going round and round?
-
Fixed, of course.
-
Insufficient stripiness?
-
All of the above!
The main oddity was the double. The reason was simply that I wanted a 50 tooth chainring up front and so used the compact from my road bike. Unfortunately, shimano use odd chainring bolts so I couldn't remove them. Still, the chainline wasn't too bad!
-
Back tyre looks a bit flat?

Me on Mont Ventoux in August. It was about 40 degs C!
The photos were taken by one of the professional photographers that lie in wait for sweaty cyclists. They give you a card and you buy the snaps off the web - I couldn't resist! These are scans so the quality isn't the best on here. They will soon be framed so if you want to pop round and see the real thing just let me know!

On the cycling front I've had a good 2009 (and other fronts as well I hasten to add). The 100 mile tandem ride with Twinkle Toes was excellent. Building my own bike was superb and on-going and then Ventoux. Actually, the tandem ride was more exhausting than Ventoux!

So what makes it different from a bog standard bike ?
-
I think the frame design is made with Police/ Ambulance in mind. The low top tube geometry makes for a safer speedy dismount if you have to leg it after someone.
-
Surely it's the inbuilt blue light that makes it different from a bog standard MTB?!
-
The top tube certainly looks a lot lower than your average bike
, although I don't think the suspension forks would work with any of the London Ambulance Service bikes I've seen. They've all been pretty heavily loaded with front panniers (as well as a huge rear pannier / top bag combination).
Correction: I had a bit of a look around, and some of the LAS bikes (http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/ambulance/p1150754.jpg) (maybe all) do have panniers on suspension forks.

Now you can all see a glorious sample of Warwickshire countryside (ignore that guy on the bike), as used for the annual MacRide - just go to MacRide - for Macmillan Cancer Support (http://www.macride.org.uk) - next one is Sunday 12 Sept 2010.
Seriously, Basil and about 836 other riders helped us to raise about £30,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support - not bad for a one-day event.

I was educated in Essex ... at (the no longer in existence) Buckhurst Hill County High School (in Chigwell) and then lived in various Essex locations until I escaped in 1986.

agreed, amazing place. I did most of the W but took the soft option and did it as day-hikes, with a lift round to the start of the french valley early one morning. We didnt make it quite up to the British Camp because one of the group twisted her ankle quite badly on the way up. Next time!

Replacing the Michelin ProRace3 on the front wheel before tomorrows club run. Not sure exactly when I picked this cut up on the tyre, however I was quite impressed that there was no deflation incident. A nice tyre while it lasted though, only 400 miles on it in 4 months
Now I'll have to suffer a mismatched set of tyres - Black + Grey Pro Race 3 on the rear, and black and red Bontrager Race X Lite hardcase on the front.

Right about Wow. The other chap is the late Peter Blewett (his name is inscribed on the side of Leigh-on-Sea Sally Army minibuses). Place: top of Ditchling Beacon, BHF London to Brighton ride, 1983. Peter is wearing a T-shirt advertising the Spread Eagle, Prittlewell. Also a keen chess-player, Peter and I had a fair bit in common.

Wiggle have just delivered ...
I decided I wanted a cycling cap and as the Tour de France is on I thought I would find a team to support. I love the way Tour teams are often sponsored by companies that sell such dull stuff so I did an internet dullness survey.
And the winner was the Quickstep team whose secondary sponsor is Innergetic. Quickstep make laminate flooring and Innergetic are even duller:
Innergetic est une marque de Latexco, un des fabricants principaux dans le marché européen des âmes de matelas d’écume. Grâce à nos investissements permanents dans la recherche et le développement et à notre collaboration avec des centres et des labos européens renommés de sommeil, Innergetic vise à vous offrir le top de la technologie du sommeil.
Or put another way ...
Innergetic is a trademark of Latexco , one of leading manufacturers in the European market of foam mattress cores . Through our ongoing investments in research and development and our collaboration with centers and laboratories of leading European sleep Innergetic aims to offer the best in technology sleep .
Love it ;D

I can't believe that Foot-On (producers of insoles) Servetto ("PRODUCTION OF ACCESSORIES FOR THE WARDROBE AND THE WALK-IN-CLOSET") didn't win.
Nice gold bikes they have though.
-
Foot-on and Servetto mounted a good challenge but I am a great fan of laminate floors (I hate fitted carpets) so this factor helped Quickstep win. Plus their cap was cheaply and readily available from Wiggle :thumbsup:

There have been a couple of coffee machine manufacturers (Saeco and Faema) and several supermarkets (Super U and Mercatone Uno).
The Molteni family firm made sausages, and Mapei make paints and glue.
I think Liquigas take the prize for the dullest product - "liquefied gas products".

Good piece, nice pictures :)

Really nice piece. I enjoyed that :)
I love the photo of the young lady riding side saddle on the back of a bike. I saw that a lot in Flanders on tour a couple of years ago. It was usually a young gentleman taking his girlfriend out for a few cheeky Jupilers. So sweet. In the UK she would be riding shotgun in a riced up Saxo ::-)
When I was about 16 or 17, girlfriend on the rack of my ancient Falcon was the way we travelled. We went all around the mid-Essex country lanes in that manner. Me busting my balls as she sat on the rear rack with her legs kinda wrapped around my waist. We often stopped to have a bit of a fuck in a field though ;) Happy days and great memories :)
-

Quote of the day.
Btw, which bit did you have? I'm guessing the very end bit?
-
Going up Nunburnholme hill. That bit was about 15% according to my bike computer.

Me, having just crossed Crib Goch in the rain at 5.30 am and descended the north ridge on wet rocks. Hence the look of a man who has been clenching his buttocks for a couple of hours:
(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p115/quisling_photos/CGlookingstressedafterdescendingCribGochNridgeinthewet.jpg)
The north ridge in question...
(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p115/quisling_photos/NorthridgetosummitofCribGoch.jpg)
I went on to complete the Welsh 3000's but due to the weather ended up a little outside the target 24 hours as I had to bivvy on Carnedd Llewelyn in the fog and dark. Headtorch was brilliant, but just reflected off the fog so I had to wait to dawn to continue.
....and me on a BMX ("Chain's a bit non-existent")

Looks amazing (if a little moist...) I've been wanting to do Crib Goch for years now!
-

Congrats! Sounds splendidly epic.
(Next time, easier to start/finish on Crib Goch and use Cwm Glas Bach to/from Nant Peris?)

Looks amazing (if a little moist...) I've been wanting to do Crib Goch for years now!
I remember doing it when I was at school, and I've always been a bit nervous about heights. I only really completed it then because there were people in front and behind me, so I had to go on! I don't think I'd do it again.
As I recall it wasn't really difficult at all, just what is referred to as a bit exposed, ie you edge around a rock with your feet on some convenient bits to support you, over a thousand foot drop if you put a foot wrong!
I've been up Snowdon several times since, but only via the easy paths.
-
I did Crib Goch and the Snowdon Horseshoe with my Dad when I was a wee lass. We were climbing a lot of Pyrenean 3000m'ers at that time, and dong routes like Longland's Climb on Cloggy so I remember it feeling rather easy. I'm sure that would not be the case nowadays. ;D

Only from a safe distance! Way above my standard, which was about v. diff. on a good day.
Quisling's fine Crib Goch picture... more familiar with that. "The Threes" in 1964, 10.5 hours. And in 1988 with 15-year-old companion, 16 hours. Though neither used the nice North Ridge.

Stopped at a wee cafe for coffee and scone today while out for a blast on my road bike. I noticed the cafe had some antiques / odds and sods for sale, and I spotted this handsome chap for sale:

Cast iron, and very heavy. I must admit I wimped out trying to cycle home with that stuffed in a jersey pocket, but picked it up in the car after I got home! :thumbsup:
Looks like it's an old fashioned fireside companion, and if you lift his helmet you see his poker (oo-er missus). His helmet needs a bit of a polish too (ahem).

My Gran had one of those. :thumbsup:

Whilst pimping my shed I found an old latex tube that I was confident would not take much to blow to smithereens.
I was wrong. We had to get the sharp pronged rake in the end. Much hilarity was involved. Note the comedy health and safety specs.

I wouldn't like to get chain grease out of those trousers! Get some bike clips, man.

or a darker suit!

Bike clips removed for purpose of photography. :P
Actually I found tucking them in my socks to be a better solution in this case.
No greasy chain marks ensued. However, I did spill some tea on my jacket at the picnic stop, which has not completely come out in cleaning. >:(

Absolutely! I love tandems and they are all just fantastic irrespective of era and type etc.
As we are taking care not to offend could I please point out that our tandem Tina is the loveliest of all (by a the width of a Marathon XR tyre). If I didn't point this out she's be upset. I'm sure you understand ;D
-
With the headlamp bracket on the LH side I wonder where the tandem originates from.
My tandem is a Raleigh. it has been suggested that the headlamp bracket was on the left so as to light the side of the road - more useful for the rider.
I did painstakingly use a piercing saw cut a right handed one out of steel - including the Raleigh heron, but decided to keep the original fitted.

Were they actually ever produced in 'domestic' and 'export' versions?

Good call Gus - Fagor in 1988 had Sean Yates, Robert Millar, Malcolm Elliot and Stephen Roche fresh from his triple of the previous year. Lots of Fagor jerseys around then.

I would have guessed 1988, based on the haircut alone.

Just seen this photo from the weekend (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10.msg816560#msg816560), and realised that I appear to be eyeing up the contents of a skip:
(http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery_albums/cycling/Picture_067.sized.jpg) (http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery/view_photo.php?full=1&set_albumName=cycling&id=Picture_067)
::-)
-
Kim, can I see some sort of cable, or elastic, running between pedals on each side of the tandem in this photo? -
(http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery_albums/cycling/147270919_4341c8c68183e791f7b04f505699da66_4c6af148_full.jpg)
Wassat about then? Keeping them horizontal for easy clip in, perhaps?
-
A cunning scheme I read about on the electric internet to ensure that the pedals maintain the same default orientation, defying gravity where necessary. It's a length of 3mm elastic under moderate tension. It ensures that the stoker pedals, with Power Grips fitted, stay strap-side-up for ease of entry.
The usual stoker, barakta (who is not an SPD user) has enough arm-related issues with setting off that this seemed worth trying. Lack of foot retention for the stoker was quickly proven to be a liability, given my tendency towards relatively high cadences.
I've now got double-sided SPDs on the front (those nasty combined SPD/platform ones had a wonderful habit of allowing the tread on my shoes to 'clip in' at a 45 degree angle between the clip mechanism and the outside of the pedal), but have managed to retain the elastic.
-
Right, gotcha. :thumbsup:
-
... and also useful for the captain to get in the clips when the stoker is already 'clipped in' the toeclips.
As seen on my tandem:

Fair enough. Must admit I could only stick a beard for a while but I probably would have been ok if I had had clippers.

Bobb, on Saturday. Sunny spring afternoon, lightweight bikes. Cool shades. Country pub. Very fine.

Is the picture taken at The Three Elms, Chignall St James?
Yes, it is. Are there any pubs left in Essex that you wouldn't recognise by their surroundings? ;)
-
OK. Top of Ventoux for the third time that day. Tired? You bet!

Three Elms.
I'm worrying about myself now - recognising pubs by their picket fences.
-
I got it as well (see further up the thread). I'm not worried, it merely proves what I have always knownn ie my brain is only good at retaining useless facts!

It was lovely and sunny today, so I went out for a spin.
If I carried on following NCN 1 signs from below (Writtle), I would eventually end up on Kirst's doorstep :)

Yes, it was a lovely day for a ride on the bike. Sadly I was working but I did take a slightly extended riverside pootle home as the sun set.
Good to see a ride report from you :)

If it's signposted anything like the bit of NCN in Kent, you won't. You'll end up in Leeds, Manchester, back to Leeds, Norwich, Skegness, Derby, Lincoln, Greenwich, Grantham, Canterbury and Exeter, but you won't get to Edinburgh ;D ::-)

Another pleasant day, so me and a mate went
MTBing BSOing.
Having just ridden through the river Wid:

All in all a very pleasurable afternoon :)
Edit: I clearly wasn't trying hard enough as I only crashed once! :P
Edit 2: We saw a massive bird of prey circling above in the woods. Dunno what it was but it was big. It pissed off before I could get a photo of it. Wanker.

Looks pretty there. Great day for a ride. :)

I'm envious. I was stuck inside all day being scared of my TODO list after being ill. Hoping we get some nice weather this weekend tho.

It is pretty cool and intriguing. And - wow! - it's warm enough in Poprad for shorts.

But mate, that jersey. Did the pickled eggs cause you to throw up down it or summat? ;)

The ghastly jersey was a present from a friend with no taste. This is only the second time I've worn it in 7 years of owning it :P

Do you think anyone will notice which club I'm with? ;)
Was a beautiful afternoon for a ride. And great to be out on the road with bobb again - causing offence to the general public, mainly on account of *that* jersey.;)

Elbows slightly too far forward?
Maybe, it's really a road bike so I'm compromising a little until I can get a TT specific frame. It has a stubby 70mm stem, and I can't really move the saddle forward any more than it currently is. It's comfortable though, and I'm going well so far this season!

She's got a Brompton, so can just walk onto a train to Mordor Central without a bike reservation.

OK. I'd like to seriously apologise for a little moment back there.

She's got a Brompton with a close-ratio racing hub. I've got a ten pence piece with some notches filed in it for a granny ring. And I know where the hills are. 8)
(And I can't imagine Charlotte's enthusiasm for hunting me down exceeds her dislike of Mordor Central. Not after the Electric Mountain ride.)

It has been observed that the difference between the Minogue sisters is thus:
Kylie looks as if she might.
Dannii looks as if she already has.
To be fair, this was in Dannii's regrettable lads-mag phase and she is actually quite classy now.

The cyclist's Santorum; that peculiar mixture of sweat, road grime and other bodily secretions which blends to form the sort of arse-sludge that makes the finest exfoliating paste known to mankind.
Ain't no dead skin cells on Mike's rosy cheeks :D

It's why we have such tight bums. Nothing to do with muscle tone; they've just been ground down like a pair of old millstones.

Very dapper Andrij.

Are you a guardsman then Andrij?

Chap Olympiad, I'm guessing.

Andrij looked very suave on Friday night, riding a DorisBike and wearing a tweed flat cap with what I presume to be his smart work clothes.
-
Chap Olympiad, I'm guessing.
I read that as Chad Olympiad and thought no, he's not peering over a wall saying wot no -------!
-
He's American; he'd be a hanging chad, surely?
-
Thanks. :)
Yes, I was at the Chap Olympiad again - a wonderfully silly way to spend a Saturday.
Tewdric, you've blown my cover! >:( :P
Yes, clarion, work clothes (not the cap, obviously). You wouldn't expect anything less from a City gent.* ;)

I'm not sure you can do it from flickr. I use Photobucket, you up load a photo and then you are given a direct link code. You then click on the add image button and paste the direct link code in. This works for me though there maybe other ways of doing it.

Photobucket is free as well. As with all things you might want to check the privacy settings as if you click on a photo its possible then to view that person's entire Photobucket album which you may not want to happen.

Bless my mum, she did it to surprise me. She said the woman in the cake shop did ask what kind of bike to put, but she didn't have a clue. I find it especially amusing that the bike has a number on the front, indicating that I'm taking part in some kind of race...

That's pretty much The Position to be assumed when one has broken ones hand and is getting an x-ray. Somewhere there's a study in black-and-white of the inside of my hand doing the same thing, several times, with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.

Each subject getsa high-resolution photo of you taken on the day - and all the photos we supply will be 'cleaned up', so there are no untidy areas around your feet or the edges
Now just need to decide which I want.

http://www.sutcliffe-gallery.co.uk/photo_3197905.html
Is that vest made from blocks of cork?
Yes. Though how much that would help keep you afloat in the North Sea, I don't know. Probably just enough for you to pray to be drowned. It's a Cruel Sea.
-
Don't they look fabulous!
Monster gallery, too - over six hundred. I wonder why so many?
From the preview I had of my photos on the day I think they've posted all of them, not just the better ones.
Each subject getsa high-resolution photo of you taken on the day - and all the photos we supply will be 'cleaned up', so there are no untidy areas around your feet or the edges
Now just need to decide which I want.
Agreed, they've just bunged them all on regardless; I wouldn't have bothered with the ones with people's eyes closed etc (and hopefully they won't use those in any publicity unless they want to doom the campaign!)
Rob is pushing for us to choose the 'I am a tiger...grrrr' pose that the photographer had us strike as one of ours... ::-)
Our photos also perfectly illustrate his oft-made point that the Gazelle is a behemoth that is officially a Right Nuisance when I leave it in our tiny hallway, whereas his is a dainty little thing :-[

Go Dutch (http://lcc.org.uk/pages/go-dutch)
LCC wanted 'real people and their bikes' to use in campaigns, rather than models (AFAIUI), hence the photo shoot.
The forumites are:
* jurek 124-132
* notsototalnewbie (& Rob) 153-170
* Andrij 171-180
* Jane 191-205
I've had a look at all the pics (needed a distraction this afternoon) and didn't recognise any other forumites, but there may be others. If you have the time, I think it's well worth having a look at each page (though not necessarily every picture).
-
I glanced at all 626 of them! Nice idea, but if the point is to show people going about their lives with bikes, then I'm not sure the ones in cycling gear fit in to that. But there are very few of them so it's ok.

I watched all 3:01 of that thinking there might be a gag or some sort of punchline at the end. Can I have a refund on that 3:01 of my life? ;D Nice music, what was it?

There was music on it? Just the default that comes with iPhoto.
And if you think that was bad, it took an hour to film. I was working during it though..

Easy to follow steps to achieve this look:
1) Have a great day out with friends and family
2) drink too much beer and rum
3) go outside to escape noise and heat
4) crouch down
5) fall asleep for a split second due to all the work put into prep for the day
6) fail to use hands to arrest the resulting fall, elect to use face instead :(
-
Oh you silly bugger :D
-
The photo doesn't do it justice. It really was quite an impressive injury, given the short fall.
-
For a bit of balance, this is one of my favourite pics from the weekend :)

Did you see any ickle bunny-wabbitz?
Strangely not. Mind you I wasn't really looking. Given my lack of off-road skills I was concentrating on not falling off, although I did twice. There were some scary downhills where it felt like the back wheel was trying to overtake the front one. I'd much rather go up hill than down.
-
Out shooting rabbits, were you?

There are no wabbits on Watership Down. Just a team of kamikaze pheasants. DAHIKT.

What sort of bar bag is that on the machine next to Butterfly?
Information has come from the owner:
it came from an ebay shop called m.l.field and it cost a princely £3.25 plus £1.75 p&p. It affixes to handlebars or saddle using velcro. It's so useful I bought a back-up one for when this one wears out.
On top of it in the photo is a foldy map holder attached to the bike cables by more velcro, with the route sheet pinned on top using the regulation Audax rusty rattly bulldog clip.
-
That's remarkably cheap. Decathlon does something similar (capacity 2.5 litres) for £11.
The seller currently has no items for sale. :(

Me at the end of the penultimate pave section, taking my bike to its spiritual home on the Paris-Roubaix
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7225/7177048629_547ac9b232.jpg)
I was rather pleased that the bike will accept 28mm tyres (though I rode on one 25mm, one 28mm), and came through unscathed other than some paint rubbing off the plastic bottle cages where the bottles were shaken constantly on the 32 sections of cobbles - but they stayed in, unlike those of many other riders.
And again on the banking on the victory lap of the velodrome with a couple of clubmates.

I don't know but said medic(s) could make an interesting post in the "What have you fettled today?" thread.

If you rode the Daylight 600 in 2007 this is who probably stamped your card at Crianlarich on the return.

The scene is my parents' back garden. The date is July 1987; I am 23 and about to embark on my pan-European bike tour. The bike is a Raleigh Clubman ...

I joined this forum with the intention of entering the world of Audax. Sadly I never did do one...ever. Instead I threw my time into forming a new club. This picture was taken after doing what I suppose was the closest thing to an Audax I've ever done; London to Paris to London, four days. 115 miles, 182 miles, 140 miles and 115 miles. Taken outside the HO of the charity we chose, the 'Carers Trust'

That's Coutt's House in the background. Used to be my place of employment (staffs nature conservation trust) when I was a nature reserve warden back in the 80s.
The stocks weren't around when I lived in that neck of the woods. Locals must have become more rowdy ;)

Stafford?
That explains it. Horseless propulsion is still considered witchcraft and warrants a day in the stocks.
I approve of their cafes selling bacon Oatcakes though.

Too true!
Windy, three is asking for trouble. I can see this turning into an 'oatcakeoff'. We should do a five oatcake ride and see who actually finishes.

For future reference, can someone recommend an outlet in Tideswell that's likely to sell BACON oatcakes? :P
-
I have eaten four but on that occassion I passed on the cake.I'm not sure I could do five but I could be tempted to sacrifice my waist line in the interests of gastronomic research ;)

Marj says that if you can wait untill you arrive at joglerville you can have some for your tea.The butcher in the village sells excellent oatcakes as well as tasty bacon.

Don't forget the brown sauce!

Not strictly mine, but despite my best efforts I appear on the edge of one of them, my stepfather being on the other edge.
This is the new canal basin being built on the edge of Aylesbury, for the Aylesbury Canal Society, to replace the old canal basin in the town centre which they're losing to a new development.
My stepfather is the chairman of the society. My sister & I visited the site with him today, & she took some photos.

I went to Sam Valiant's London Marathon party yesterday in Limehouse. The general idea was to drink heavily and cheer the runners on. Here's Julian and Phil sticking to the plan:
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b187/vicechair/2013-04-21%20London%20Marathon/LYP_054_zpsa1d209db.jpg) (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/vicechair/media/2013-04-21%20London%20Marathon/LYP_054_zpsa1d209db.jpg.html)
And here's Sam - clutching a can of Polish sports drink and (inexplicably) a giant polystyrene medallion of deposed Ba'athist dictator Saddam Hussain:

Interestingly, some of the chaps at the Town Hall thought that doing to Maggie what they did to Saddam might cheer the runners up:

I finally got round to dunking the photos from London Fields last month. They're taken on a Leica M3 with an Elmar Red Scale 50/3.5, so never mind the composition, feel the bokeh. If they look a bit oversharpened, that's Rodinal and inversion agitation for you. The light *sucked* and these were all shot pretty much wide open.

Actually, the curves are all wrong* because i did them in a hurry, but you get the drift.
*negatives are designed for printing onto paper with its own characteristic curve, not to be scanned - hence you have to mess about with curves in Photoshop to extract an image from the grey sludge off the scanner. Get it right and it's Bob Carlos Clarke. Get it wrong and it looks as if someone ran your b/w film through C41.

A quick snap from last night (just showing that you can have the nicest camera you like and still make a crap shot :-[)
Julian was off to a lawyerly dinner and I tied her new bow tie for her. If we'd had any suitable makeup, I might have been tempted to give her a moustache too.
I think she looks dead good with a 'tache :D
-
Just the thing.
-
Julian looks splendid. I am also liking your library. Wish I had enough space for a room like that.

here's me, waving not drowning while on my first ever go at surfing last weekend.

No. It's a great photo, Charlotte. In fact it's my second most favourite of you.
ps The nauseating loved up lesbians is a lovely shot, too.

There's something slightly disturbing about that picture. Julian looks very happy but Charlotte looks like she just remembered a reason why she has to kill someone and is faking a smile for the camera.

A new professional portrait for Teh Julian - the old one was looking a bit dated and she wanted something on a light grey background.

What happens when one is out innocently riding one's shopping bike and clothes, only to be caught out and mixed up with an organised 'challenge' "event" with on the make photographers waiting for victims around the corner of a sharp bend in North Wales! I spotted the snapper and snarled - he got me mid growl - just before I could spit. How dare he invade my private Aldi run with his big black lens! And is willing, nay touting globally, to sell ME photos of ME not looking best pleased nor happy with myself! Pah!

I was about to say, "No, close, but it's Llangranog", when I realised that you are actually correct.
Normally, we don't bother with Tresaith as getting a cup of coffee early morning in the Ship Inn is a long and tedious process. Whereas Llangrannog has two pubs (Also The Ship plus, of course, yet another Pentre Arms) and a very decent café.

That needs some explaining.
It's a Game of Thrones thing. In the TV adaptation, the chap in the photo played Syrio Forel, who was hired by Ned Stark to teach his younger daughter Arya how to use a sword. Where Forel comes from in the AGoT-verse, fencing is called "water dancing".
It would appear that water-dancing lessons have been available in the real world as well.
Hope this helps...

Smiling for the camera only... ;) I actually walked up the meat of it bendy-bit, even the jelly baby intake prior didn't help - at least it was the last major hill. Clyffe Pypard and Hackpen is a bit of a double whammy. :)
Grinning here too, but I did make it up Ramsbury's Spring Hill AFAIR, well apart from stopping due a wobble on to the verge..

1992 Somewhere in Essex on a 200km Audax. Puncture/laugh stop ::-)
Pre clipless pedals days, still very long shirt times. Mending a puncture on the George Longstaff tandem trike. Retro Eddy (even in those days - riding illegally without mudguards :o *) stands by and laughs propped up by a very large Woodrup racing frame (got it cheap) - check out his top tube and where his crotch is! He's riding tubs too! Slope in vulgar fluo yellow, but highly polished leather shoes!

Are you referring to us being slightly out of sync?
It is something we are trying on the recommendation from Peter Bird - it is taking a little getting used to, but seems to make setting off easier for sure.

I knew A Peter Bird who owned Swallow Cycles, based in Laindon, years ago. If this is the same Peter Bird, I personally, wouldn't pay much attention to what he says.

It is something we are trying on the recommendation from Peter Bird - it is taking a little getting used to, but seems to make setting off easier for sure.
We were advised to do that by JD Cycles, something to do with limiting the effort required to get over TDC I think.
-
What's TDC?
(Ours is a single chain link out of sync, but Longstaff do it a different way to Madgett- one leaves it stoker first; the other pilot first).
-
Top Dead Centre

Having one slightly advanced or retarded from the other makes a big difference to us. Not sure if it makes any difference which way - although it does feel different.
-
There's always one slightly retarded element when we go out on the tandem!

What does the panel think. Should the stoker be retarded or should the captain?
Personally, I suspect it may have to be the captain (if only to keep the peace!?)

(Yes, I was)
I'm not an experienced tandem rider, and hadn't come across the idea before. Immediate thought is that the gain (and ideal amount of advance/retard) would be very subjective, and more likely to benefit those who tend to pedal squares and not honk up hills, but I'd suspect that being in-sync would be better for a lot of pairs.
ETA: there were a few tandems at the AGM weekend, and one of them (from Scotland, I think) had the stoker's cranks retarded by about 70 degrees. Looked a bit weird on the road - reminded me of the clatterpillar toy - but presumably works for them.

Bike & trailer seemed to handle the load OK (trailer is rated for 35kg), I didn't really notice the trailer behind, and a few smiles from mums on the school run! :D

Larkhill. Isn't that where they shoot the rounds up vertically as a way of testing the fuse function ?

And in the car park is a round brass plaque inscribed with the range officer's name indicating where the mis-directed shell fell (base first). Luckily there was no car in the spot at the time.
And there are (I think) three bunkers with periscopes. They record the bearing of where the shell falls so that they can find it when firing has finished for the day. Then they send the diggers out to retrieve the shells, and their perfectly undamaged fuse assemblies.
-
Incidentally - with all those warning signs, we saw people near Imber parked up, who'd obviously walked a couple of hundred metres through the grass and were having a look around a dead tank.

There's a period film set which is missing your good looks from it, Andrij.
I'm just struggling to figure which it is..... ;)

You are too kind, sir!

Great pic Andrij!
A bowler hat and Moulton reminded me of something, and a bit of googling helped me remember:

The last 3 digits of your number are the same as the 3rd, 4th and 5th digits of my mobile number. I thought I'd share that with you.
Well done by the way. We caught the latter stages of the event by the Tower of London. There were some very tired looking people - bless them.

Or does The Big Boss want to get rid of his entire sales team? Who knows?
Actually, what he said was that he'd looked at our LinkedIn profile pictures and decided some didn't portray a very professional image and he was right. So he decided to do something about it - fair enough.

Yes, by the easy route. It was (literally as well) the high point of my cycling year so far (spoiled somewhat by the sight of four older ladies cycling the other way on Hybrids with panniers)

By that lap I was too knackered to play up for them. Had sat up and pretended to be in the shower one lap; on another just stopped into a trackstand right in front of them. Added some real fun to that race.
Got one coming up in August that has a whisky shortcut... :P

Blimey, summer cyclocross! Soon it'll be like premier league football, with a token off season of about two days while agents scrabble round for transfer deals!*

We forgive your mismatched wheels for your style and (frankly) even more attractive runner.
Were the linked pics all of the inhabitants, or had people been bussed in?
-
I think what happens is: people double-up; folks cycling and running in one photo, change out of their clothes into something different for another photo, and so on, including spectators. There's only 12 people involved, if you count them. Fact. True factz.
I think the deployment of 'bussed in' groups might prove too costly.

Back to fixed and matching wheels now.
I found the runner on the internet (the event facebook page 'runner wants to team up with cyclist') ;)

The mankini is in the bum bag ready for immediate deployment. You just pull the ripcord and vuola!

That's a truly awesome and most useful invention, OD. I hope you've got it patented. What about the ripcord on the other side? Does that activiate a spray of mind bleach sufficiently powerful to cleanse everyone within a hundred metre radius?

A hundred metres, isn't that a bit over kill? It can't be that big ... erm bad, I meant bad :)

Tried it, reacted to it (said billplumtree, the words coming easily through force of habit). Renamed it Skin So Red And Sore, in my case; it was worse than the midgies.

My recumbent, actually. I lent it to Charlotte while captaining Peli on Monty. The Bent ended up with Jogler, while Monty went to the Andes.
Well captured by ZH.

Nothing peculiar - but it is the way in which we recognise those we know. Way ahead of them being close enough for facial recognition.
It'd surprise me to hear you weren't aware of that.

That's OK. It's just I've been told I have a distinctive gait and pedalling style which are easy to recognise. It's easy to get paranoid! ;D

It's my bike reservation from the train down to LonDon. The noise of the poorly attached front rack distracted me from the cardboard on the drops, so it was fine.

You look really good and fit in that. It's a great photo, but maybe upload some others in addition? With going-out clothes, and work clothes, maybe with your pets to show you're a well-rounded person? And a smile too, a nice smile is worth a hundred Athena chainsets 8)

Don't have no going out clothes (not any that fit) :( Only go out on the bike ;) Don't have no job :thumbsup: Don't do pets anymore (although used be more cat than reptile and the dog was a nightmare) ::-) Everytime a camera lens glints in my eye, any usual default most of the time smile drains into a scowl, Rupha like :-[

By the way, the 'inheritance' involves a slice of an ex council house on a now SINK estate in the middle of Didcot (a fave YACF subject). Doubt it will attract many Russian or Thai brides? Although the latter's cuisine would be very attractive ;)

Warhol and a half! But the more Warhol you get, the less you get... Ah well.
What are the other names? Graham Balfour, Sir Henry Floyd, Christopher Whitehead?

My souvenir of Porto ;D
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-25a8tb9S11s/V9kP0B-GycI/AAAAAAAA6qs/m3bv1v12yxISja9cExCbe04gGVKZiurxQCPcB/s640/IMG_20160914_090335.jpg)
FTR, the drivers in Porto have a worrying casual disregard of cyclists, the proportion of close passes appears very high. Given its hilly nature, there are actually quite a large number on bikes, and a few dedicated facilities, but overall pretty cra@p
I was visiting SiL & BiL who are inland, south west of Porto below the Duoro, I did get out a few days on a Decathalon BSO. Although the max elevation is around 400m there it goes up and down a LOT, 1Km climbing in 20Km was typical and in close to 40o I could do with a pouring with sweat smiley. Still, all in all, fun.

Took me a while to spot the wording on the sign, though.

I have Googled and I think that sign should read "Prince Bishops". There is such a thing as a Ponce Bisphop but it would appear you'd have to go to Puerto Rico to find one. Then again me and Google could be entirely wrong!

I've had this Kinesis Aithein frame and groupset setting in the shed for quite a long time - the weight limit was intended to be motivational and I am now light enough to actually ride it. I have a different set of rims also, waiting on a chance to build them up.

Good luck riding that up* to the Butt in any sort of wind.
*or back from, the day I rode from Stornoway to the Butt of Lewis I flew out but coming back was a very different matter. I was running out of cadence going out and coming back was running out of gears I could pedal.

Hair guard; I don't trust my hair to stay tied up properly in the presence of a headrest, so enclosing the wheel is safer and much cooler. Everyone seemed happy that it qualified as 'unfaired'.
A proper aerodynamic tailbox would be nice, but that's somewhat outside my skillset.

HPVelotechnik[1] chainguard, bought from Toxy[2] (so I've no idea who actually makes them), bought last year: http://www.toxy-liegerad.de/Components-spares-accessories/Chain-drive/Chain-ring-cover::100244000.html is the item, though their photo isn't completely accurate. Fits between the BB and the frame.
[1] It's exactly the same as the one that was factory-fitted to my Streetmachine, only it's had fewer occasions to guard the chain from things so still has all its paint. It's one I'd recommend as it does an excellent job of keeping oil off things as well as preventing you from sawing people in half. The ICE-style guards are more of an oil hazard, but do serve as a safe lifting point. Comedy DIY chainring guards are a BHPC staple.
[2] They have a website you can just order things from with a credit card. Almost unheard of in the recumbent world.

You know how cyclists sometimes drive to events and discover they've forgotten their bike shoes? He'd forgotten to bring a jersey. After weighing up the relative merits of riding flat out for 50 minutes in the sun in a flappy cotton T-shirt, he evidently decided to go for the comedy sunburn approach.

I wouldn't qualify mine as being "properly" aerodynamic, but it certainly didn't make the bike any slower. :)

Moi. I was asked if I had any 'old kit' , ie Alpine hat, Bergen rucksack, heavy rope, ice pick, boots etc. When I said yes, I was asked if I would 'model' for an album cover, for a prog rock band. The album, called the 'murder wall' was about the ill fated expedition in 1937/38? on the attempt to climb the North face of the Eiger. I duly abliged, but they could not make it convicing enough for the main cover, so I was relegated to the CD back cover. hey ho.

I got some creative film for Christmas and was waiting for a snowy day to make the most of it:

(https://fatherhilarious.blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Viaduct-1024x679.jpg)
The film is Snovlox 35mm B&W 200 ISO. I only have one film SLR; a Pentax MX with SMC 50mm f1.4 lens - so I used that. I created a website so I could put these images somewhere under my own control and without adverts... here (https://fatherhilarious.blog/2024/02/snowy-slawit/).

Regrettably, I have never experienced that archway in that direction ...
Just looked at the site: Northern Sole, groan - definitely up/down there with Junk and Disorderly! Good work!

Lovely blog Graeme. Added to my favourites :)

Splendid Graeme :thumbsup: Went down a bit of a rabbit hole with the supplier you linked to, now feeling inspired to get out some old film. ;D
-
I've been inspired by the #BelieveInFilm community on Bluesky: learning that good photographs can be horrendously messy. There's a sub community of pinhole camera enthusiasts too... I can't remember where I heard this, but, "a good photograph is one you look at for more than 10 seconds"
:)
-
I like that.^
Did a bit of playing around with pinhole cameras when I was a student and the union had a darkroom. At the time I thought I would like to make one in my house when I was a grown up, but now I think I probably am one it just seems to be full of bikes!

Non-photographic comment: I rode through the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on my way to York Rally 2022. There is a bridleway running round the edge of it and I diverted into the park itself in order to visit the cafe. Leaving the cafe, I was apprehended by a bloke in hi-viz who first told me cycling wasn't allowed in the park, then that I should have paid to enter the park. There had been nowhere to buy a ticket that I had passed, and obviously I hadn't been in any of the indoor parts. Then when he found out I was cycling from Bristol to York, he said he "Loves a good nutter" and told me the quickest way out of the park without paying. All this along with a discourse on different types of Yorkshire accent (Barnsley is an ugly accent, he said).
-
Barnsley is a great accent - and probably the one most readily identifiable to an outsider.
I visited the Sculpture Park a few years ago as part of Don Black's West Bretton audax. There didn't seem to be any entrance fee or particular way in or problems.
The cafe was shockingly expensive, possibly on the assumption that people who visit a Sculpture Park will be intellectuals and therefore stupid. Everywhere is expensive now, pretty well, with covid being both cause and excuse.
-
Apparently the entrance fee was only introduced after or during covid. And he did say how stupid it was charging people entry but having a public right of way running through the park...
-

We had a lovely time despite how long we spent critiquing Hirst's "Virgin Mother" and how irritated it made daughter and I. We couldn't afford the cafe. Entry in January was a twofer.

We had a lovely time despite how long we spent critiquing Hirst's "Virgin Mother" and how irritated it made daughter and I. We couldn't afford the cafe. Entry in January was a twofer.
:P
There seem to be several different copies of this, each slightly different from the next. I don't like any of them (or Hirst in general) but "irritated" is an intriguing reaction. What made you irritated about it?

Content Warning. Opinion/Religion/Sex
The irritation came from spending most of the day circling back to discussing his work when we didn't want to. It sat at the back of our minds inviting comparison with all the other sculptures. At first we felt that it was a lame excuse for voyeurism from Hirst - dissecting the pregnant female human form as an object, but later we reflected on the choice of title, "Virgin Mother". Set aside religious sensitivities, the dissected female form is now nothing more than a frame for the artwork. Artwork which is essentially a depiction of an immaculate conception in womb... (otherwise it would simply be called "mother"). We didn't feel Hirst had casually chosen this title, neither had he casually chosen to make this a reference to a fourteen year old girl. My daughter and I get the cultural differences between human history where women and children were property and objects: cultures where wives might have their slaves give birth while sitting on her (the wife's) knees to symbolically make the slave's child their own. Sickening as this feel to our 21c minds, we're not going back to rewrite culture. Hirst isn't doing that either. He is inviting us to draw these conclusions, which we felt we'd stumbled into. Happy with a day out at the park enjoyed the physicality of sculptures in a beautiful setting, we'd bumped into Hirst. We were irritated that we kept thinking about it. Sure there is the provocative masking of bronze as cheap plastic, which you'd need to read in the description to know, but the voyeurism bugged us. Cheap provocation: like the use of the disabled girl, and the half-hearted "hat maketh man" - he isn't saying anything you couldn't read in the grauniad.
We thought "inside out" was a much better piece.

Should I be posting these in OT-Gallery? I'm getting muddled between Phototalk, Gallery and OT-Gallery. Sorry everyone.
