We walked from Craven Arms back to Ludlow on the Shropshire Way on Saturday, 12 miles is more walking than I'm used to... well we sat on a fallen tree for a snack and moments later a Great Spotted Woodpecker landed on a vertical branch not 10 feet from us, obviously hadn't seen us and as soon as it ...

7th May - 15st 3.5lb / 96.75kg VERY happy with these results :-bd 2nd week of strict keto. No beer, no alcohol in the week, maybe a few G&T's on Friday or Saturday. Finding it really easy at the moment so striking while the iron's hot. I'm entering my sticking patch now. I didn't manage to get b...

"You suffer" by the napes would be my choice.

I've got the Dutch Singlespeed Champs in 7 weeks and want to get to 15 st for it. Last weigh in I was 15.10 :sad: We've done a week of strict veggie Keto, no alcohol, we've been good.

How bad taste or black humour do you want to go? Perhaps chose a band named after one of the popular life exit strategies? The Strokes? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pT68FS3YbQ4&pp=ygULdGhlIHN0cm9rZXM%3D The Cardiacs? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s31eL8Y_pBM&pp=ygUMdGhlIGNhcmRpYWNz The Fal...

I took the other Jones out, the singlespeed one. Front brake is binding, it's an avid elixir. The pistons do seem to be fully retracted. I've left the calliper in a bag of penetrating fluid and will do a fully brake cleaner clean & full, flush & bleed tomorrow. If it was the TRP's I'd just ...

excellent stuff

It's variable. Good tubeless rim tape wrapped around a couple of times. I've had mixed experience using gaffa tape. Tyres are also variable .... Stan's Hugo rims with Chronicles - 29+ and seemed baggy, thought these are going to be a nightmare. Nothing of the sort! seated and inflated first try. Oth...

This reminds me of why I've not been out the country for the last 20 years. Welcome to my world. Our govt is just as nasty IME. Thankfully by following my protocol of staying local I've not been abused by our nasty airport security and the likes. Sorry for this new developing situation. Reminder to...

I've considered buying one but £200+ for a seatpost make me twitchy .... did you go for the just the sprung one or sp...

Heck Richard ! Take time to let stuff settle and take things slowly for a bit... hopefully bikepacking isn't completely off the table. Fingers crossed for you bud !

Despite some people thinking I retired at 34, I didn't, I've just never really gone to work in the normal sense. That's good because without a 'job', then I've no need to retire :-bd Through the experience of people i know who retired early or otherwise, my sole piece of advice is, 'beware daytime ...

Hope you improve soon Richard !

I need to get back on track ...

my one bit of advice when retiring.......... ignore all the pension bolloxs telling you that you need x amount. You don't. as you age you need less, and very few people change to a champagne lifestyle when they retire. People are creatures of habit and mostly just keep doing the same as always. :-b...

Veggie -
Dates, nuts, mixed fruit....
Peanut Butter
Eccles Cakes

When I used to eat meat -
Ardennes pate.
