Sorry it was a reference (perhaps a little sick) to the shooting of a family and a cyclist near a french campsite in the alps - sad but that is the sort of thing that might put me off a holiday until the full story comes to light.

New maths quiz about how many times 30 goes into 15??

 

[old_coyote_pedaller]

When you're doing long division, what comes first the 30 or the 15?

K - You still doing the 3 Peaks this weekend?

 

[kaiser]

Yes, kinda bricking it too. I don't think its going to be pretty at all I readied myself and went out in the wind and rain yesterday, legs felt like lead.

 

[zigzag]

Mind and pack it.

 

[clockworkgazz]

good luck with it Mr K

 

[Tazio]

Mind and pack your pipe lagging!

Good luck with it as well.

Good Luck Kaiser - at least the weather should be a little better by then, ground might be a little wet though.

1X1 and good luck Kaiser

As the title says: Good Luck for the weekend Kaiser, do us proud

Have been fiddling around with the 1X1 recently, put the BB 5's on and a set of 29'er wheels last month. I wasn't buying aother set of V Brake pads as I had the BB's there I just had to sort the rims onto hubs.
And last week I finally laced up the Spank Stiffy's I had stored in the loft for the last couple of years. Laced to deore Disc hubs so now I can switch round as I feel like it.

Spank Stiffy's 26's

Know its not everyones cup of tea but I love this versatile bike and thought I would share
Now! off to build a SS Pugsley for winter
