Tuesday Night = Norwich Hardcourt Bike Polo!

• tricks. Determined to nail Keo Spins!
  

Nice night tonight. Four of us messing about with some tricks - tried to borrow some mallets from PuP but he spouted some nonsense about his wife having a baby... :)

Quick male-bonding session at the Fat Cat over a FIVE POUND PINT. Yes, that's right, a FIVE POUND PINT. Then home. See you all tomorrow.

I'll be out if my replacement BB turns up today...

Royal mail fail... no BB.

Come on out anyway - there'll be more bikes than people and most are happy to lend them. Come have a beer and say hellos.

Yeah come along. Say hi. Be good to meet ya. Got that frame at mine for ya too.

Shit, yeah shoulda, got caught up with work after spending the morning riding bmx and beers at Playhouse. Next week bike will be ready to roll.

Hahaah. Phat night but M outta the loop now!

Polo soon I hope, ride sooner though. Shit hot night boyos!!!!

Good night chaps, will get the photos up as soon as they're developed. Any good ones Sparky? I need a new FB profile pic..

FIVE POUND PINT. Yes, that's right, a FIVE POUND PINT.

But we don't live in London.

^^^thank fuck!^^^

Beer is a fucking rip-off in town lately... even the Playhouse is £3.60 a pint!! Cheaper to go buy a four pack and sit in a park with the homeless.

I totally agree. I am a raving piss head, so there is no way I can afford to sit in the pub all night every night. What with a small, soon to be slightly bigger, familly I barely know what money is!

Prezet a man speaking from my own heart.

The shop next door to my house had fosters 1 pint cans for £1. Bargain I said as I bought a few.

Beer price update: I had a pint of coffee-flavoured beer in the Fat Cat last night. Delicious and £2.70. Fat Cat, you have redeemed thyself...

Just ordered a cog, lockring and chain whip. Spence is dropping a wheelset off tomorrow. I'm cleaning up the frame tonight. I should have a polo bike after the weekend.

Lovely.

coffee & beer? whoever the fuck thought that one up...

Sounds like an english coffee

Irish coffee - whisky and coffee
Russian coffee - vodka and coffee
English coffee - beer and coffee (completely made this up)

Think the Irish got it right... although brandy in coffee also goes down quite well.

Whisky in coffee is so nice. When you've got a cold though put whisky,lemon and boiling hot water into a cup. I drank so many last year when I was cold.

Oh and I'm coming along next week to polo. Might not play but will take plenty of pictures (make sure your scrubbed up and got your best shirt and shoes on.)

Will be using a fair old bit of off camera flash.

Got an 18T, so should have 44:18 or 48:18, not too bad. Will be looking for newer cranks and smaller ring eventually I suppose.

Disc wheels, hell yeah.

Sick... I got some Truvativ cranks, with a small bash ring and a 113 BB you can have if ya up for giving that a go?

That sounds good. I went out this evening and put the Fuji's rear wheel in as a test. The drop outs are too narrow and when I squeeze the wheel in they're not straight anymore and the whole thing's a mess.

Thought this would be easy.

Also noticed that front wheel wasn't all the way in the dropouts - it's sitting upside down on saddle and handlebars - so don't think it actually will bar spin now.

Having a bit of a sulk.

Then I went to tinker with the mtb because I've got new tyres - they wouldn't go on.

Having a proper sulk now.
