Brilliant. Do you have experience of that?

Further and Faster / Re: New bike for Audax from Halfords.
« Last post by jsabine on Yesterday at 11:25:01 pm »Well, the OP clearly has ambitions to ride more than 4.4 miles in one go and it's realistic enough to think of 25km as a stepping stone, especially when audaxes can start at 50 ...
FWIW, I reckon regular riding is a good start - when I was commuting a reasonable distance (about 7 miles each way, 5 days a week) my role of thumb was that doing my weekly distance in one go was a fairly plausible ride. Maybe type 2 fun, but doable without *too* much trouble.

Being serenaded by them at around 11pm on The Daylight 600, when I was tired & needing a little peace & quiet, did NOT add to the pleasures of the ride...
They have their place (over the hills and far away I hear the audience say)!
They are not best suited to close-distance listening, unless you are at a specific piping event.
They can do a lament very well, from a distance.
They can work in a Celtic-rock kind of thing too, where all the other instruments are amped up to 11, so they can be mixed down to the right level.

The Pub / Re: The RANT thread (often contains fruity language)
« Last post by barakta on Yesterday at 10:38:19 pm »Tell the council that Apollo will be eligible for legal aid and you won't hesitate to seek legal advice on his behalf (and demand costs) if they don't get a grip and sort this ASAP. I think you have to take no crap at all times with the way services are.
I am sorry, that's really unfair and not acceptable.
