    I wonder if to make up for the terrible salaries they are tended to for most of their needs regarding their career? for example travel, living cost, bikes, if your going to spend an entire year racing and all your needs are met why would they pay you more, is it down to you as the rider to take on a more business-savvy approach, like Kenny belay for example?

    This video from Katy Winton delves pretty deep into how quickly they can have the rug pulled from them

    If it's your day off, a good time to start doing some of this: 

    ;) 

    Thanks, man, I'll have a go tomorrow morning and see how I feel, I tend to feel much better after a stretch session, but I have no idea what I'm doing then tend to resort to swinging my arms around and calling it a day there

    Yep, +1 for doing some stretching. I found a really basic 5min morning stretch routine on YouTube that did wonders for me. It really doesn't take much to start get things moving in the right direction.

    Went climbing for the first time tonight and man alive, my flanks are achey today... skin held together which was a bonus, although I mulched my hand into the wall and have damaged something in my hand/wrist. Proprioception was turds the whole time yesterday, but fun nonetheless!

    Buying a house is also pretty sucky - we got past the possible issues flagged in the survey, but now we've found from our solicitor that their solicitor still hasn't replied to stuff that was asked way back at the start of the process. Still waiting for the Property Information Form which we should have had from the get-go. The fact they're really dragging out supplying it is a little concerning, and also fairly ironic considering they were giving us grief for "holding things up".

    Usual solicitors/estate agents email ping pong shit going on, but we're hopefully still going in the right direction.

    got a link mark? I've had a quick look but there's just so much choice

    Went to the physio and some acupuncture treatment, and the good news is nothing serious has wrong, just a strain/torn muscle, but it means I'll be out of action for a week and have that back anxiety again when it starts to recoup
    Annoyed as i had such a good run with my back, its been f**king years since I threw it out, but I guess I've never spent 4 months of my life being a lazy useless shit.

     

    @craigjames I'm starting to get better with stretching, but still stiff as a brick, I really might have to consider looking into yoga or something., been threatening it for years its just so god dam hard to get started when your joints are made of slate.

    Crazy that so many people pumped huge amounts of money it what is essentially a meme and there are actual millionaires today from bloody doge coin

    i mean if you have 200k to drop on a lol crypto, you were likely in decent shape beforehand

    I stuck in $61 last April, it's now at $1000. A series of incredibly lucky purchases has made that happen.

    Started looking at NFT's now, but not properly - lots to learn on that front!

    I'm trying to get involved pretty early to avoid being priced out, but I think that's already happened, $10,000 for the dancing banana meme seems a little steep for a gif..

    How many of us have started/thinking about or already are dabbling in Crypto or NFT's?

    NFT's really blow my mind that these have taken off and  this video of Beeple watching his work sell at Sotheby's and jumping from 29mil to 69 in less than a minute makes me sick

    I'll be honest I'm not sure what I'm doing so I won't make any suggestions other than "straight to the moon!"
