What's your excuse for not being out riding right now?

Ginger Super Anal?

Yep, it's what James calls me. I don't know why.

In a retro-faggot kinda way, that bike looks cool as hell with a wooden box of glass coke bottles in the rack.

Ha!

you gay nugget.

Ha!

Not like you to be funny, long may it continue.

Ouch, ha!

No excuse, I went for a ride and it was fantastic. Sucks to be you.

no i'm in imperial. the lab just outside oxford in didcut parkway industrial estate is Luke Alpheys, formerly Oxford Zoology

I had a mate there doing his final year MBiochem- similar topic.
are you quite senior in your lab- you seem well clued up on the mosquito labs of the ' Isles

Green man central
where we went post tweed run
cider for summer

SP and DJ, that was lovely.
i went and had a pair of ciders with my spanish amigos.
and then blitzed it home in the drops- fun fun fun!!!!

How's the Holdsworth? You still coming South tomorrow?

the holdsworth is a dream.
the Condor Seatpost- less so, kept slipping, might try taking it back even though I've cut half of it off....
hmm.
and yes.
Souths Fo Sho.

also- taking a camera in tomorrow for some photos of the bike. it is super awesome.

Sweet. See you tomorrow, buddy.

What size seatpost does it need?

not in that sense- the bit that keeps the saddle level- i suppose you'd call it a clamp- keeps fucking moving around.
think its fixed now- only time will tell.

Henry, I have a spare bolt/clampy bit sitting around that you could try if the problem persists. It may be that the thread on the bolt isn't gripping enough. I dunno if mine is the same size but it's no hassle to bring it tomorrow.

that'd be cool.
ta.

larry zweibel, that's him. i remember him scaring a lot of grad students.
blast from the past, couldn't remember and didn't want to do a mini search for him.

fingers crossed for you.

Today my excuse is work, yesterday my excuse was decorating. I used up all of my outdoor vouchers on Saturday to do a hundred miles and lunch with a Victorian villain.

It was splendid, we had baguettes.

i am postdoc, have been in the field for 5 years and did my PhD in it. Its not a big community. Larry Zweibel is a nice guy, i tried to teach him how to make transgenic mosquitoes.

most (sensible) people cut the C&H burgers in half, easier to eat, innit?

Well after looking, all the people I saw tried to stuff as much burger as possible in to their mouths....maybe it was to avoid conversation with me.

Not today as I have a cat to entertain.

its my b-day and i am hungover!

am about to pedal to the office for overtime

i want to go to look mum no hands

arse!

lather it in oil :-)

No bike :(

Student loan is in and the classifieds section is right there though...

At work...Fuck it. At least I rode in and had the added buzz of nearly getting cleaned up by a minicab. He went clean through a stop sign with not even a glance... Dozy prick had probably been up all night and was in dreamland.

I just got back from a 97.1km ride. And I feel dead, thats why I'm not riding.
