Tea? (Part 1)

[Amanda P]

Ahem, splutter, didn't mean that.

More that it's difficult to do computer stuff when you're outdoors or driving or...

*stops digging*

Anyway, Tea, anyone?

 

[Landslide]

Yes please!

 

[TheDoctor]

Afternoons!
It's such a nice day out there I'm going home.
CTC pub ride tomorrow evening, which should be fun.
And the first outing for the Carbon Uberbike with Jiggerypokery's old 105 gruppo on it!
See you all on the morrow.

 

[Speicher]

Sometimes people have other things to do? Whatever next?

I was sat outside in the garden until nearly seven o'clock.
Moff to bed soon.

 

[TheDoctor]

Mornings!
I shall fire up the kettle and check the status of the magic biskit tin.
Tea?

 

[Landslide]

Morning All!

I stand before you guilty of a terrible crime - I've neglected the Turbo-Folder to the extent that the freewheel seized up.

On the upside, I've got the fixed to play on in Lahndahn Tahn.

Any chance of a cuppa?

Well, lets' face it, it was probably made of patent Fast-Rust Cheese Metal (TM) in the first place...

Missed you all yesterday, After a day pedalling a Maximus round picking up recycling, on a day when everyone had left out twice as much as normal, in a heatwave, I didn't feel up to the slight diversion to campus to log on...

Anyway, at work today, revived with a cuppa.... <hands round tea>

Fixie the folder? You know it makes sense...

 

[Landslide]

Very possibly. I therefore plead not-guilty on the grounds of diminished responsibility...

Ta for the Tea?

 

[Arch]

Surely he has fixed it. By breaking it.

Reminds me of Wobbly John's motto. "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is".

 

[Amanda P]

"If it ain't broke, fix it until it is".

That must be the motto of the New Management where I work.

It won't be long until everything is broke.

 

[hulver]

Morning (just) all.

Kettle's on. I'm making tea to distract from my failure to make it all the way up Winnats yesterday.

I got half way up, stopped and just couldn't start again. It was so steep that I physically couldn't push the pedals around.

I think I need smaller gears

Oh well, I hoofed it up the rest pushing my bike, which was hard enough.

Flapjack anyone?

No, you need a recumbent trike. Gears as low as you like, and you can start off from stopped at the slowest speed you need....

Once I stop on a hill on a bike, I'm walking, because I simply can't get the momentum to get going again and stay upright, in my lowest gear. Not a problem on three wheels (although there is of course, more weight to shift). And once you're over the top, the descent! Oh boy!

 

[TheDoctor]

For Winnats Pass you need an engine IMHO
It's, what, 1 in 4 or thereabouts?

 

[Landslide]

1 climb in 4 hours?

How was the rest of the ride Hulver?
