Tea? (Part 2)

[Puddles]

That sounds great....it's a brilliant way for Squidge to learn bike mechanics

Potsy wanted to post something about having (unnatural) Urges.....but I've stopped him.

It is, it helps that Mr Urge is an ex-teacher too I think, Squidge feels more grown up having proper lessons and it was really reasonable (he chose it as his birthday present) £40 comes to the house, gives the bike a complete maintenance thingy and also shows Squidge how to do the maintenance himself plus fix a punctures, put chain back on etc and sets the bike up so all the levers and knobs are in the right place saddle is the right height etc. He was with him & bike for almost 2 hours - so not bad for one on one tuition I think.

I'll be very busy later, might not get time to post anything nasty about wimpy at all

Arhh Potsy you never post anything nasty, not that I have seen anyway

 

[Hill Wimp]

Yep...sounds great.

I am going to tour Denmark next July. I will cycle to Harwich and take the ferry to Hook. I'll then go up through Holland, Germany and meet Mrs R in Esbjerg. We'll then cycle round the coast of Denmark before taking the ferry back to Harwich. I think the first leg will take 2 weeks and then we'll take a further two weeks to go round Denmark. I just love the cycling there - although there are a few CC members (if you read the Touring section) who think that its a boring route - flat, sea, sand dunes and farming country. I guess it's horses for courses.

By the way I did write a blog (with photos) on my last tour but the Tea? people voted against me posting it in its long version - jealousy, I think.

Sounds fab especially the flat bit.

Long version of the trip this time I hope.

He is based in Salisbury so I was surprised he came out this far, he does the support/maintenance thingy for a lot of the cycle things around here, he might have been at the NF thing.

I'm sitting on the train eating a bag of Proper Corn popcorn. Slightly salted and only 87 calories with 9gms of net carbs but only 1.6 gms of protein.

That diet thread that the mods just stopped had gone to my head

Dieting makes you grumpy

I may look him up when I come down to the NF in July.

Some people have been viewing the house next door. They were there over half an hour. I think they were in their mid-sixties, so they are a lot older than me.

This afternoon I am visiting the Cats Protection League. I hope they have a youngish cat, not a white one (too much like Leo).
One that would like a garden and a field to explore.

Hope the purrfect cat adopts you

Totally agree. Life is too short to be consumed by diets

My username is to do with that wholly remarkable book the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (which is a trilogy in five parts).

Frood - really amazingly together guy - not quite sure that is me though
42 - The answer to the ultimate question of Life the Universe and Everything

The recent film of course was rather terrible.
The radio shows and TV series were quite good, but the book is brilliant.

I know where my towel is... I think...

of course 42... also the door number of Mulders flat in X files!!!!!!!!

 

[Puddles]

Ah Mr @Mattonsea why were you using pledge on your bike, what bit of your bike and why and what is it made of?

On the frame to clean the grit of from Saturday. Its carbon and I love my bike... its bare carbon so when you buff it looks bottomless. I bought the frame on Flea bay and spent last winter buying parts and putting it together.

and.....what's wrong with knowing that????????
