It almost did! That is exactly what autocorrect thought I wanted. My mum, the cycling monster!

This has been on the forum before somewhere. Here seems a very good home for it though. I found this bike on the side of the road awaiting its fate with the scrap metal men that endlessly do the rounds here. It looked like it had been stored outside partially covered with a tarp or...

A Hercules folder: In my parent’s garage so excuse the slight clutter. Sturmey 3 speed. It would be nice to see it used more. Located in South Devon if anyone is interested. Dad rides his old Trek and if only heading to the local shops, mum uses another little shopper…

A frog on a bike.

The Aftermath… Upon waking up, the first noise I hear is the wind whistling through the phone wires outside. The second sound is the rain hitting the window. So far, so bad. The night before had seen a few rubbish attempts at adjusting the brakes on the bike. I was tilting at two windmills...

They live on in the mud.

I’ll look out for you. I’m on the pink/purple Kili Flier. Car is a black pickup.

Very hot water?

The potatoes/swede/carrots are peeled. Chestnuts are in the oven. Trying to get ahead a bit. Radio 4 playing in the background. Merry Christmas one and all.

I have been thinking that being whacked by the car you didn’t hear is more likely with electric vehicles than in the past. I think this is the same as helmets. You do you and everyone else does themselves.

Let’s go with yours!

I think I barely have the Dog in my legs! I won’t be letting you ride alone. I’ll be going now unless illness intervenes. You parking at Birches Valley to make use of the changing facilities after the ride presumably? I generally park opposite Tackaroo. Because I’m a tight wad but I can pay...

Holy Mother of Merckx! Have you seen the weather forecast for Wednesday? Biblically wet. If I wasn’t planning to ride, I’d be starting on an ark. @bontybonty how far away are you travelling from? I don’t have too far at least. I know The Big Cheese lives off to the east quite a chunk. Were...

Why, thank you Sir.

Excellent retro biker. Bought some shoes. Arrived so quickly I didn’t have time to use the supplied tracking number. Parcel was so well packaged it could be described as armour plated.

Injury isn’t an issue. Sloth is. I cannot remember the last time I got properly muddy. I have probably been mountain biking 2 or 3 times in the last 4 or 5 years. I have just done a roller session and it hurt. I’ll try to get some more in before next week to take the edge off my unfitness...

I’ll try to be there. My bike is very unsuitable. The main problem though is me. As I said to a lad who simply couldn’t believe I had got that far around the red route on a bike with no suspension; I lack the fitness to get anywhere near this bike’s limits. I don’t think I have ever been as...

I do remember things getting rather ‘dirty’!

It looks less tiggy now. Trouble is, I haven’t cycled for about 1000 years and it is in the garage which is a little dark. What do you think?

I have a GW that is tig welded. 531 Millennium I think it says on the label. Never looked into it.
