I've been to the Orient beer festival and now I'm rammed fuck yeah ;0)   Read the rest of the entry...

It's lovely I might take some pictures of it, or I might just taunt you with tellimng you all how ace it is. My new cross bike is ace, posting pictures is too much effort so I've decided on the latter option, it fits just right and goes like a dream! A huge thankyou to Rob for chauffering me about the East Midlands to collect it and suggesting a stunning real ale pub for lunch, days don't get much better. Oh go on then....

Is this the most perfect beer ever brewed I believe so, it's like drinking pink grapefruit juice with kind of a really nice beery taste as well it's just great. Only one barrel left apparently, looks like that's my Sunday afternoon sorted then. It has to be said that beer seems to be the only thing that's made this winter even vaguely bearable. I find it strange that as my life seems to last less and less time, winter this year seems to have gone on forever. We should be up at 8-9c we're still at 5c I'm stil in winter gloves it sucks .   Read the rest of the entry...

Not ridden again, can't find the motivation or the want to ride at the moment, I did at least ride to pick my train tickets up on Saturday which is something. I'd planned to ride today but getting up to grey just killed the idea straight off. I don't think commuting is helping I seem to spend my time on a bike damp, cold, covered in road grime and that's with mudguards. I think the last time I actually enjoyed, really enjoyed riding a bike was in November last year, which is a bit worrying really, since then it's just seemed like two wheeled misery. Still time is only wasted if you've not enjoyed your time, eating reheated home made enchilada's and refried beans and watching cross racing isn't a bad way to spend a winter Sunday. I should probably stop feeling guilty about not riding as it's not making things any better, I'm rather suspecting that the worry of an impendinf flat purchase is maybe weighing large as well, I'm just hoping it all comes off so I don't have to drag bikes up and down stairs and that I can clean them in my garden...   Read the rest of the entry...

January has past and it's warming up felt the first heat of the sun this year today, although the temperature dropped away considerably as the afternoon wore on. Still I managed everything I wanted to do today, bike cleaned train tickets purchased, bike component emergencies averted thanks to Timmy at Sideways, he really is like the bike superhero.   Read the rest of the entry...
