Well, it has stopped raining quite so much, except down south where its been doing it more, very strange.

We had a mostly dry day at Llandegla on Saturday and did two laps of the black route. Sean, the lovesick puppy, was spent after one and took Mcloud home with him along with all the toys out of his pram. Adi and myself went for a second lap and managed it 1.5 hrs. I'm bored of it there now though, so probably off to the lakes soon for a more old school proper ride soon.

Roger T, you called me the today, but the idiot who took the call wrote the number down wrong, so please get in touch.

IS IT EVER GOING TO STOP RAINING!!!!!




WELL, IS IT?! THIS SUMMER IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE WORST OF MY 39 ONES ON THIS PLANET. DOES IT REALLY HAVE TO TORRENTIALLY POUR DOWN AT SOME POINT SEVERAL TIMES EVERY DAY?!!!


IS THE EMPORER MING SENDING CATACLYSMIC STORMS TO WEAKEN OUR FEEBLE PLANET OR IS IT JUST BROKEN DUE TO OUR SCANT RESPECT FOR IT OVER THE LAST FEW HUNDRED YEARS?


MY LAST DRY BIKE RIDE WAS PROBABLY IN APRIL, THIS IS REALLY BEGINNING TO ANNOY ME NOW. PLEASE SOMEONE, MAKE IT STOP RAINING.

How fit am I?


My stag do last weekend, though luckily I managed to not wear this delightful ensemble the whole night, just for a walk into town and a curry. I managed to escape Andy's zip tie and Kryptonite chain scheming as well.
Anyway, off to Llandegla this Saturday for a ride which should be fun and also not muddy as it drains really well. The black routes good fun and a good workout if you do two laps. http://www.coedllandegla.com/
Andy and Paul got back from 5 days in Morzine in one piece last Monday. Some cuts and bruises though not as bad as expected.
Workwise, we've got a 10% sale on all orders over £100, offer excludes Merlin and Rock Lobster bikes and our handbuilt wheels, but includes everything else including groupsets and Disc kits with wheels.
Plus, we're now a member of the Cyclescheme! So cheap bikes ahoy! Just make sure you actually use them for cycling to work. I've ridden in every day for the last three weeks and got soaked twice virtually every day. Oh to be in England in the summer time. Just seeing the pictures from Mountain Mayhem and the 24/12 makes me so relieved I don't race any more, it looked horrible. Lets hope it stops raining soon.
