Which reminds me of the joke on R2 this morning. The new England shirts for the World cup are on sale. They cost £110 each, thats nearly £35 a game.

Quite enjoying the MTB life now. We are quite 'blessed' where I live for off road routes, but I spotted a local guy's bike repair business on the village's facebook page and he was doing rides. Well I've discovered some really fantastic off road routes - some real challenging stuff within a few miles from home. Some real tricky descents etc.
Loving the Boardman squashy bike for this stuff as the old 90's rigid bike was totally out gunned on anything very bumpy.
PS The missus found the 'bouncy bike' in the garage in November- I'd got all the baby toys at the garage door for my niece to collect, then they went in the garage and were sorting through the old toys. My wife mentioned we had rather a lot of bikes (9 1/2) and then figured out there was 'one' extra. BUSTED.
It went well as I said she could ride it as it had an 'adjustable seat post' - AKA an expensive dropper post. I survived the N+1 just !

That looks a cracker - no little trailer..
We have a big 37 foot static inherited from the 'outlaws'. Thing is, my parent's stayed a couple of times, then bought a van 200 yards away, then my sister got one on the same site. It's the only time I see my folks these days - they live local at home, but I don't see them in the off season much - I see them every weekend at the van. It's also bloody great for biking in N Wales - leisure or off road.

Sounds like it’s worth every penny :-)

It is. Nice to pop on the bikes for a very leisurely ride to a pub, have a few beers/food and ride back (all off road !) Or go for a lung busting climb up the local bridleway and then come down a gnarly descent (I haven't yet timed it right to stop at the award winning pub at the top of the hill for a pint before coming down).

Tomorrow evening, I've got a hot and sweaty date with my pal James. Two hours in the Turkish baths in Bayswater. We will probably need a fair bit of rehydration later.
I've spent quite some time in the last couple of days with a needle, picking holes in my hand in an effort to get blackthorn splinters out. Where I've failed, they're going septic.

I see you are filming the Qattara Depression scene today. Now don't get too depressed will you ?

Scientist's have discovered that Mount Etna has moved 14 mm in a year. That's a lot further than some of my bikes .
