I'm back onto my cycling in the morning after a few weeks holibobs and injury. I can happily do 30kms in 1hr 10ish three times a week now so it's time to step up the mileage.

I'm thinking to entering the ride London Prudential 100 next year just so I have a target

... turn right and take your pic from the cafes,) then at the crossroads do a dog leg right then immediately left onto the B4391. Carry straight on, after about 4 miles it starts to get really twisty - beware the two tight hairpins!!! - and up up up across the Cambrian Mountains. After you've come ...

Sounds like fun times ahead Ed, fwiw I miss my hound every single day, but I don't miss clearing up the garden after her. I hope Sophie has a great time with Rosie, sounds like you guys are going to have an interesting couple of weeks while you settle with each other.

... holiday spot I had up the coast on ebay, but used the 'classified ad' option. That way you don't deal with dodgy bidders and they price you're after is known and the negoitaion is around that. Worked well in that instance.

... If you don't use ebay much, you can still sign up for the free trial on bidnapper. I think they give you 20 wins before they request a payment. After that, you buy 'snipes' (in lots of 25) but they are only used up if you win the auction, ie 1 snipe per item won.

... I can tell you of any number. One of my fave rides is the A458 from Welshpool to Llanfair Caereinion, take a right onto the A495 through Meifod, after a while take a right onto the A490, which end up back at Welshpool. I swear that you won't find better twisties anywhere. Or try the roads from ...

... free service that you can use to try before you buy (so to speak). My last win was a new 675R Brembo master cylinder and reservoir for US$122. After postage and currency conversion, it was about AU$205 - far cheaper than anything here. This doesn't solve the problem you had, but does give you ...

I presume Honda are taking very good care of Casey after this admission.

... crew members of the Dambusters missions. Out of 133 crew, only 77 returned. Sqd Ldr Munro's aircraft was hit by flak, but he made it home after the hit had destroyed communications in his Lancaster bomber over the Netherlands. Dave Homewood, of the association, described Sqd Ldr Munro ...

Trying to avoid the result till later when I can watch it after work.

I do know my fantasy team is taking a hit as 2 dnf's last race and one in bsb at Thruxton this weekend in qualifying yesterday

... lower than the seat, which has a decent amount of room for a full on sportsbike. The pegs are in a good position, they've given it some thought. After a few miles I managed to get my head around the riding position I got a feel for the bike. This thing feels small. Like 600cc small. It also handles ...

... of Game of Thrones in a matter of 6 weeks but now I'm at a loss of what Series I can do next .... I gave Breaking Bad a go but lost interest after 5 episodes and also gave Penny Dreadful a go but that lasted 3 episodes. Someone has suggested Vikings but can anyone else suggest a series I ...

Sunday I will be leading a ride out for the Triumph Rat boys.... It will be a calm gentle affair in the morning, anarchy will most likely ensue after lunch and the ride back, by then they have all overdosed on grub and most likely some sugar intake of some sort (cake) so the pace will increase ...

On the bike?

Taking Mrs nutz out for breakfast as it's her birthday. Then generally trying to look after the kids so she can have a slightly chilled out day.

Ditto ha ha - today I will be stripping and giving her a bloody good clean after finding the muddiest road in Britain after leaving Kwacky yesterday

... tank or maybe try another seat as there are a couple Ducati offer. Loving the bike at the moment and even though I'm not 100% the bike is looking after me and making me feel rather special. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s88/rocket-bike/IMG_3937.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s88/rocket-bike/IMG_3955.jpg ...

Met up in Stow for breakfast at Lucy's. I was feeling a little fragile after spending yesterday drinking cider and watching the cricket. I was leading so it was a gentle pootle out of Stow and on the road to Tewkesbury. We skirted around Ledsbury, Ross on Wye ...

I bet he needed new leathers after that!!

... where going to be drastically reduced. My Berik leathers are still up for grabs, Nutz. Could you remind me of the sizes and how much you where after for them please...
