Good morning all. Rain stop play here. Hope it's better today and all day where you are.

It's really annoying! I bought a new bike and I'm not going to spend any time on it.

Oooooooo do tell. Pictures please. What is it?

Morning. Good grief. Longest lie in years. I seem to be taking longer and longer to fall asleep. I heard the rain during the night anyway. Still raining. Quick coffee, don the waterproofs and get a quick walk before breakfast.

I'm sat here in my cycle gear, my bikes in the kitchen ready to go, I've just looked out the window and its raining, theres no rain on the forecast for here.

Coooeee. Another blowy night for us but looking on the bright side at least it's at night and not during the day, well not as much anyway.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning, world!

It's a dull and overcast 9 degrees on Planet Thanet. The BBC weather forecast is for a mix of sunny spells and cloudy spells, but it seems the weather hasn't had that memo yet.

I need to go for a good walk today, to wake myself up, and then I need to look for some new songs for the uke band to have a stab at on Wednesday night.

Keep warm and safe, everyone!

Paul SB asked ...Oooooooo do tell. Pictures please. What is it?

I don't have any yet. But I bought one of these in this colour, and the ride is just beautiful. I've removed all those horrid wheel stickers though - I'm sticker averse in all things!

Better pictures and review here ...

I was listening to Terry Wogan on YouTube last night doing the Janet and John ditties. It was quite funny

Morning all

Yesterday morning I heard a couple of loud 'booms'. Apparently there was a big fire and explosions at a warehouse in Tiverton. Must have been loud - Tiverton is 36 miles away!

Just noticed that my reply box has stopped turning custard yellow.
Someone's been tinkering overnight. Anyone else noticed?

Morning folks big question mark on the weather today- sleet,gales,rain who knows....The local rabbit population have definitely all gone to meet their maker, not one to be seen, at least i wont have to be brushing turds of my tyres.
Found the expensive bikes thread interesting, can imagine one day spending 1k or more but have a sneaking suspicion im going to prefer riding my good old 201

Some of my longest and most enjoyable rides have actually been on a Cube Peloton that I picked up from Chain Reaction reduced to £450. Has a triple Sora set up and has changed gears perfectly from day one. More expensive isn't always better, at least not by much.
