the recovery

[n-ick]

Yo Cosmonaught,
I see that there is a Catrike Speed on fleabay with a cheap buy it now price.
Surely this would aid recovery.

Take more pills!

i gave up on the pils i have peanut butter marmalade and Marmite sandwiches instead.
i like the look of the speed hydraulic brakes! looks like a good one, mine should be here tomorrow so will give you a report later.
only did a 20mile ride today and was a bit stiff for the first 5 miles as i did a fast ride on Thursday.

i am still concernd about the dorlish sea wall, some thing just seem to pray on ones mind, i wonder if i should phone some one up and see if it is ok?

When did the Dawlish Sea Wall last phone to ask about your leg. Forget it she's blown you out for a younger, fitter, saner model.

Peanut butter + Marmite = normal sane sandwich
Peanut butter + marmalade = slightly mad, but as PB + Golden Syrup is OK...
Peanut butter + marmalade + Marmite = umm cruel and unusual punishment under the terms of the Geneva convention?

Dawelish sea wall is just fine - she has plenty of clotted cream icecream to keep her warm in the winter.

while on tour, i have been known to make Peanut butter + marmalade + Marmite + banana + Stilton sandwiches, i cant use them on any uci and ucf event as they are band as performance enhancing, they are quite literally food of the gods.

thank goodness the sea wall is ok, it is only 262 miles away by road; my house is only 42.3m above sea level you can see why i was concerned.

now the cold weather is hear my mileage might drop a bit i have never had a go on a turbo trainer or rollers but am considering it for the really rubbish days when road riding is just a pain.
i could do with going to the place down the road and trying one of them recumbent without wheels, they just strike me as odd peddling away and getting no wear! the latest ones can be programed to mimic a road ride.

...edit...

The UCI won't let your abomination, work of the devil, fine machine anywhere near their holy events. So eat on Oh Sun Bronzed Geek God.

Maybe you should remove the ash tray from your trike and fit a dispenser for sick bags. Not for you, but for the use of anyone else seeing you devour consume the ambrosia you define above.

I'm off upstairs to call on the great God Rohlff down the porcelain telephone.

UCI i will refrain from commenting on the illustrious group of officialdom; they are just two silly for comment.

todays ride was a shake down ride of the new chariot of the sbgg, i have flipped the searing handles over to make them lower and fitted the return idler, so only have 3" of chain tube on the return side but have the full length of the drive side from seat to front derailleur in a tube, parts of the ride wear defiantly faster the gearing is just about right, it came with a upgraded crank set all very posh and bling.
i did find the chain was over a part of the derailleur that it should have been under so was rubbing, and kept stopping to do a bit of tweaking so dont know yet how much of a difference in average speed there is.

 

[byegad]

Picture please.

I've shown you mine...

 

[markg0vbr]

i have fitted my lights and a short rear mud guard; i will begin the tyre psi experiments, i will start at 100psi and go up and down a bit and see what is best.
to eliminate all chain tubing i would have to use a front boom clamp and anther return idler at about £60 to eliminate 3" of tubing i think i will see how it goes first.

i would go up wrong baiting but the natives around here are head hunters.

 

[Speicher]

I think you should branch out into the field of wooden scooters.

 

[byegad]

Hope he twigs the joke.

 

[markg0vbr]

i would take a picture but it is so low you cant see it.

 

[byegad]

We'll leaf out the fact you ignored two good puns.

cummon, lets see a picture of the beast.

 

[Speicher]

Oh dear, he logged out some time ago.
