‘Red Sky At Night, Ski Village Alight’ Ye Olde Sheffield adage..

They’ve chosen a new Pope at Sheffield Ski Village..

Looks more like project 'Derrick Evans Redux' to me.. 😁

That’s one school of thought.. I’m more inclined to believe.. Tutankhamun bought 4 ornamental chariots during a plague of locusts when they all had to stay indoors for 12mths.. hung them on his pyramid wall, never rode any of them.. then on his passing folks buried them rather than having to...

Absolutely, if I don’t get the fun out of this bike, then who will? In 10yrs time it could potentially be worth fk all.. no point passing it down to my kid, he’s not going to feel nostalgic for something that happened 20yrs before he was born..

Ikr^ it's like the 3 bad restaurant reviews.. 1000s of people we don't hear from have a perfectly good experience but i still wont go because a couple of ppl had cold soup back in 2021 😁 Tools!? Pfft.. i don't buy tools.. i have a workshop here.. there is nothing i can't make out out of a...

..^^i was riding down the trail around the perimeter of the Burbage valley, just about to take a right before heading over the bridge and up to Carl Wark when my laces got snagged up between the chain and chainrings but because i was peddaling, it all got tangled / torn up, i stopped at that...

It was early evening.. my neighbours rode up to Dungworth / High Bradfield in the morning and got home around mid-day complaining about how hot it was so i didn't set off till 4.30 and got home at 7ish, still warm but the Peaks were quiet.. most climbers were packing up and heading home, i did...

Where i've just been Where i'm going.. Stanage Edge Pole Mandarin duck :)
