Sweat, Toil and Itching

Day of walking round a huge restored landfill near Luton, My legs are proper dead now. Ive also been scratched to bits, soaked in sweat and had to drive down the M1/M25/M3 borefest in the worlds most boring vehicle - a diesel bottom of the range astravan.

No riding, none tomorrow either, possibly lots on friday, dunno what bike to take, depends if i get round to fixing the inbred, as off road on the kona would be mental :-)

New (old) bike and old faithful

Got a new toy:


Bit of a freak - fixed gear, slick shod mtb, but makes sense to me. Proper fast on the road, and also just a little bit scary when it picks up speed downhill. Could possibly do with a slightly larger gear but its fine around here really.

Those bars and forks rock too, although the tyres are a little worrying - 115psi! See how my homebuilt rear wheel lasts anyway.

Lots of Mud clearance!


The Inbred is a bit poorly, needs TLC and a good clean. Rear hub is pretty much bearingless, with about an inch of play at the rim. Not quite as shiny as the one on Mikes post below is it :-)
