ogre

Dan is right, i can't help but be crass about things. and it's true i have been known to poo mid ride without a toilet.

had a bit of a bargain binge at my lbs today; 80 quids worth of specialized tyres and some 50 quid tifosi branded cycling glasses all for £75

over the bars. had a pallet snap and hold onto my back wheel for me so i had to fling over the bars and hope for the best.

what is the stem? could it be that the stem has failed somehow?

yesterday was international women's day. pinkbike did a post about women MTBing and while female cyclists are probably in a harrowing minority as it is, why are there so few of them doing trials hops?

just get the pro2 trials model. it's significantly better and more reliable than anything else out there. it's a little more expensive but you can't usually buy confidence, the pro2 should give you some confidence to really put the hammer down and get more out of your bike

i got my ass handed to me at yesterdays tyke, i was longing for tarty style gates so i could actually complete each section and have a good time. thats not a dig at the tyke trial; the sections were good, but i was totally off form for allot of it and 2 minutes per section was .

recon i could have my 1000lbs next week, but then i'll need a new goal

wheres the giacomo responce?

i want to learn muscle ups, but there aren't any facilities with a suitable bar around here

i usually mix it up. so i'll have high rep sessions with like 20-40 a side. concentrate on doing things with good form. don't worry about the weight or progressing to strong lifts quickly, a heavy weight lifted badly will do you more harm than good. and when you can squat big and deeper than everyone else you can be smug as you like about it. 5x5 is meant to be good for building strength. but i'm just wierd and get strong quite fast. i don't lean up for shit though

nope i'm an ogre... i weigh 107kg atm but i don't look particularly big.

accessibility is the trickiest part of the comp scene for me. i don't care where i place, having the competition going on served to push me to try harder and that alone was enough of a reason to want to ride comps. i haven't witnessed or been scorned by the super techy dabbing that rages mr chandler. but i recon our lass would 5 you into next week if she saw that shit in her sections.

i got back into the gym in december, with the goal of making the 1000lbs (453kg) club where your combined deadlift, squat and bench equal or exceed this weight. i'm on 180 for deadlift, 160 for squat and 100 for bench, so i just need to sneak 13-14 more kg in and i'm there

rode my hometown for the first time in months today. made a nice change and it was fun bossing some old lines. i'm an absolute pussy at sidehops though and the creak in my bb has subsided.

i'm off riding tomorrow so hopefully i can bed it all in then bonus question, will the tyre re-seat easier after you've initially seated it and got it to seal on the wheel? or does removing the tyre undo all of my previous pumpy efforts?

did not get on the halfords grad scheme :'(. i had significant want for said scheme. boo

i ordered some shoes last week and i accidentally ordered kids shoes (i'm not retarded i just presumed size 12 was an adult size) i called route one and they've sorted me the grown up size ones with 40% off. get in.

i like how much i am in this. i also thoroughly enjoyed said comp and look forward to the next one.

pro 2?

ENO you little bitch.

i'll give it a go in the warehouse tomorrow thanks

I'm using slime brand sealant, not the put in our inertube gunge, they do a proper runny latex stuff too... seems to be leaking less air each day. really need to go ride though

tubelessed my niner this weekend. found that the tyre was unrideably soft the morning after, but each day they wheels hold pressure for longer. is this the norm with tubeless? i bought tubeless specific tyres (schwalbe rocket rons) i left them at work with 40 psi in and i'm hoping they'll have the majority of that pressure when i return tomorrow. if they aren't have i done something wrong?

had my 2nd stage interview with halfords today, i absolutely annihilated my presentation and i felt it was alot better than everyone elses. i hate public speaking tasks so i really pulled my finger out for it. even if i don't get the job i feel like owning said presentation was enough of a win for me.
