isitafox Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's a refurbed Lenovo T420 with a 240gb SSD fitted, should do for what I need it for and was quite a lot under £300. In other good news, would appear The X Files is now on Amazon Prime which I get free, absolute result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 just came back from riding in snow it was really really fun, i loved it, I got surprising amount of grip as well, it was quiet and it was not too cold the thing is, my brakes stopped working at all when they got wet ( from 1 finger perfect brakes they went to 3 finger death grip " oh my fcuking god please stop") but all in all now I want to go for a little jog... and I am the guy who hates running. so now I will work on my business plan a bit, some math revision, ill do some personal project, then a bit of a jog!

MartMini Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Week before last thought i had ran 8.4 mile and was well happy with that. found out that due to my Strava glitching, i only did 7.4 miles. Went for a run Wednesday and did 10 miles. Well happy with that, well on the way to doing a half marathon in march! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Why is your helmet on sideways, is it a scottish fashion? edit: it's not, just looks like it on that photo, as you were Edited January 18, 2016 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Notice you didn't post the photo of you doing the tribute to modern UCI comps by carrying your bike through the section? Fair play though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Don't even get me started on that. I was being chastised for not carrying it properly. wtf? Hence the middle finger to Cyclocross as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Haha - how was what you were doing not correct? If you beat everyone else at your first attempt it kind of suggests that the way they're doing it isn't necessarily the best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 So to me, the right way means you get a dirty arm from the down tube. Right? Excuse the pedal in the side, that had nothing to do with it. It was the arm wrap police who were out on force. Seems I met my match in the cyclocross world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Haven't quite got my head around cyclocross, is it literally just mountain biking with drop bars? I'm going to have to start selling bikes for this in a couple of weeks when they arrive and all I can really see is greater potential for broken wrists Edited January 18, 2016 by Jolfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hmm, Id say it was more road biking, off road. People do use mountain bikes to race. I seen plenty. I think as I have a mtb back ground, i'd've been happier with a set of flat bars on my bike but i'm guessing most of the people who ride cyclocross come from a road biking background, so that's maybe why the bikes look as such? One thing to know about these bikes is that they're designed for mud clearance. That's about all I know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were! Well, it was a beer mat you got and you picked up your free beer at the end. No drinking in the park allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I guess with the way "they" do it, if you fall over you're less likely to break your arm or f**k your wrist/elbow up? That said, if you fall over running carrying your bike and break your arm that's nature's way of telling you you should get a bike you can ride up those hills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Been dreaming about riding a few nights in a row so yesterday I went up into the attic and rode for the first time since breaking my wrist in August. Had an amazing time figuring out where I stand. Massively motivated to start moving again although trials will still have to wait a few months. It's strange how I'm sort of ok when on the rear wheel but getting up those 2 pallets at the beginning was quite painful on the wrist. Marked all the painful areas with a pen, hopefully the doctor will be able to tell me more. Still trying to avoid an MRI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So after being told I'd be based in Plymouth for 6 months (10 miles from home) I've ended up ~800 miles away in Scotland. Not ideal, but despite the shitstorm that follows I've got a solid group of lads here I've known for years including my best mate Matt who, technically, I've just been paid to drink with. ~£50 to drink with you best friend can't be too bad, long may it continue. In more general terms, I'm pretty sure I've been dealing with early signs of depression for the past week or three and this has really helped me get back to normal. Fingers crossed it sticks, because I was a f**king wreck 24 hours ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
