I made a successful vegan tiramisu for the daughter’s boyfriend. Never doing that again

Well done Shaf and looking at the forecast I think you timed it right

Been swimming now with the family so a great day here

Thanks Dave. I always run it slightly nose down. One of Mike Hall vids explaining how he sets up and keeps nose down.

It suits Pogacar as well

I feel it forces more weight onto the arms. But each to their own

Good luck but please level that saddle Shaf!

Just watched it. Not a bad film but they missed so many trail highlights. Was mainly flat bits

At least you have a penis. GWS

Did a solstice sea swim today. That’s 51 of 52 weeks done. Xmas day finishes a weekly swim in the sea off for me

Fess up which frame?

Tomorrow will be a lot cheerier than it might have been. Emergency op to fix a torn retina yesterday, after a previous attempt with lasers two weeks ago. This time they used cryotherapy - freezing with liquid nitrogen. Scary stuff. Only a local anaesthetic. I don't think they actually pop your eyeb...

Have you seen The Sweary Davide?

I am now coxing a crew of ladies supervets rowers aiming to win the world championship in May next year. (Long story) I've just finished " Will it make the boat go faster " written by Ben Hunt-Davis who won an Olympic Gold. An amazing coaching manual that I highly recommend to anyone tryin...

I wonder if he has a 'tussock' module in his programme? :grin: In all seriousness (for a change), I was wondering if it's possible to be taught the mental resilience or even stubbornness that's often required and I'm kind of thinking i's something that is probably already within your character and ...

Not sure if there's any point applying again mext year, considering the number and CV of applicants.

Always try. I think Alan welcomes new faces

I'm listening to nothing but Killing Joke today. I saw them earlier this year at the Royal Albert Hall and it looks like that will be their last ever gig

RIP Geordie. Thank you for the soundtrack to my youth and later life

I'm entering Stu in the recently announced Shopper Bike category

Right, I am nearly there on a new set of Bikepack maps. You cannot know how hard this is! I'm fighting all sorts of bugs and issues and if anyone mentions java in my vicinity they will be thrown roughly to the ground. I'm at the stage of rendering the ITT routes on the map. I'm thinking it will be t...

Just an alt view. I do like competition

Nope. Twentieth century boy me I have a road ride planned for tomorrow (or maybe Friday looking at the weather forecast!) on the Somerset Levels / Cheddar Gorge. Found it in a book, written directions, no gpx stuff. Guess who wrote the book.... :wink: In Scotland in the rain trying to finish anothe...
