SamKidney Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I canceled my car insurance over 4 weeks ago now and still haven't received the refund I'm entitled to. It's the only thing stopping me from driving again as I need it for a new insurance policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) People on snapchat who set their stories to "hmm" with a black background. If you're having girl problems I don't f**king blame you if that's how you think that's going to resolve anything. Stop being f**king pussies and talk to the girl instead of crying about it on snapchat and looking for attention it makes you look well pathetic.

TrialsIsHard Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Stuck in the library doing a lab report, I'll be here till easily 1am before a walk home in the rain. It's student/society night tonight, and I really wanted to go out with my house.. but no! Why do I always leave sh*t to the last minute, and assume by that point I'll know what I'm doing?! This has got to stop before I get completely stuck and miss a deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Fell down a rabbit hole this morning running, been on crutches all day. Ankle isn't broken, probably ligament damage. f**k my life, there's my 6 month marathon goal out the window. Everybody at the gym found it truly hilarious carrying me around the gym so I could train my upper body. By no means am I the most dedicated athlete in the world EVARRRR, but since Bethan left me the gym and running has taken up a solid 2 hours of the 5 hours I get "free time" a day. So this is going to be a big setback for me. Pain is immense. I had to hobble home with a rotted fence post as a crutch. Luckily my mum had some crutches that she bought after surgery which I've been in all day. I don't think I will ever live down the embarrassment of my mum driving me to the gym and giving my PT her number to call her when he's done with me. It's an enlightening experience to see how disabled people deal with a lack of mobility though.

JD™ Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Been needing a new cartridge for my record player, because I'm an avid buyer of independent label vinyl. In-laws have lovingly and thoughtfully bought me one belatedly for my birthday. Awesome. They're staying the night, and all I have is 'heavy' music. Can't play anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today the swelling in my foot has got so bad I had to go home from work early and get an emergency doctors appointment. I've been signed off work, I'm going to miss handing over loads of cars for the end of the month which is going to cost me £1800+. Then the postman popped my latest piece of tasteless running kit through my door today. Just to rub it in.

Ali C Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Don't know if it's just a phase I'm going through but I feel my love for bikes fading. I've not wanted to touch my bike since September now, it's a nice day out yet nothing about me wants to go for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Touch something else? I haven't been out for a few weeks, mainly due to the weather here. Haven't wanted to go ride either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thats one reason why I stopped riding comps and went more street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I've been wanting to ride but soon as you get home from work it's freezing and often damp, it really knocks your motivation to ride I think. And falling off hurts way more than in the summer for some reason, the darkness also impairs my judgement on gaps and sidehops etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Same. To be fair, I don't know how you long-term riders keep going. I think most people get bored after a couple years. Thats one reason why I stopped riding comps and went more street I find it's something more common place in trials rather than other areas of cycling. I had an injury in the summer that kept me off my trials bike but allowed me to ride my MTB. In the 3 months off the trials bike but still biking every few days on the MTB I had more fun than I'd had on the little bike for a long time. I don't know if it's to do with the repetitive nature of trials (even with street) or riding the same spots but I've found the appeal waining a lot. Now I'm content to have a few hours on the bike now and again rather than looking forward to the weekend for a full days riding throughout the week. I think unless you're a young kid/or idiot it can also get frustrating riding street and having to dodge people, wait for security guards to move on and so on...you can often feel like a nuisance. I find when I'm on the MTB i've got the mountains to do what I want and not piss anyone off. I've also found the adrenaline from trying to fly down a trail or ride something really steep and make it out the other side gives a buzz trials can often lack. Trials now feels so slow paced even if you ride in a street manner than it can be frustrating. Little wheels that don't pick up pace and light gearing to me now feels really awkward and slow...to the point I'd almost consider more traditional street riding over a trials bike. Riding fast with flow and smooth is what does if for me now. Maybe try and switch up your riding a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I found with trials I held myself back a lot, it was a mental thing. If I'd pushed harder and commited to it abit more I think I'd have been a lot better but as it was I reached my limit and then I found it massively repetitive. With MTB riding I'm a lot more commited and feel a lot more confident on the bike. I dunno if its an age thing, when I was about 15/16 I didn't really think 'if I fall off that I'll be off work...' Etc. Might just be me and my tiny bollocks thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
