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

still making flash banners (working from home) been doing it since 9 this morning, looks like i'm still going to be doing it at 4 in the morning tonight... then repeat...

Who are you calling a prick? ;)

Seriously though, I am being sent off for tests but results will take 7 days, so this sounds helpful. I'm having the tests done at UCH so hopefully I can convince them to give me a prick test at the same time.

Assuming a prick test isn't like a inverse shim or a long weight...

I would pop into your local pharmacy tomorrow or A&E and see if they can do you a sugar (prick)test. If you are diabetic you need treatment asap not on Monday. Diabetes is either type 1 or type 2 and you need to know which one you may have. In the meantime, ensure you take enough sugars/carbs during your waking hours so you don't 'slump' like you have been.

Applying for Jobs.

At work, well on PC pretending to work typing this! but bring on the first training run tonight getting ready for the stoke stage of the tour of Britain out tonight on my new Alan bike pics to follow to try and age & value. Brought last week traded my specialised enduro not a rd man but things may change.

@ Fox, I would be surprised if you are diabetic and if you are you certainly will not be Type 1.

waiting for my halo aerotrack to be delivered!!!!!
deliveries usually here by 9:30
not today though :(

just finished applying for jobs, once the light fish stock has simmered i am out the door into the sun.. bike is at the door ready!

As soon as 5 comes I'm off on a lovely 17 mile commute home. Can't wait.

Flew off my bike Sunday morning because of rubbish being left in the road.
Landed perfectly on my shoulder which torn the ligaments completely that support the Clavical Bone (Collar).

No cycling for atleast 6 weeks :(

Ouch. Heal up well, Martin! Rotten luck!

am between bikes!

Cheers Oliver. Dreading having to sit around not being able to do much.
Already gained 8lbs from lack of excercise, and I haven't even been eating too badly :/

Need to go on a detox.

I feel for you--I'm now in my eleventh or so week off the bike, with occasional premature forays. I'll be naughty tonight and ride somewhere but I've been far too sensible for my liking.

I am watching Masters of The Universe on Sky - Dolph as He-Man, gotta love it

Oliver, don't suppose you know if I could make a claim with this accident?
Rubbish in the road, most I didn't see because the pile was behind a car.

If I don't get surgery, my arm is going to be permanently longer than the other.

The benefits of having one arm longer than the other might be good..? :P

i have ANOTHER puncture, i'm riding session 700's and they have bothbeen really strong i got no punctures for about two months now my rear tyre is a bit more worn i have got two puctures in as many weeks, is this co-incidence or has anyone else noticed a sharp drop off in puncture proofing in these tyres?

Been for a run and been to the gym. Would have been out on the new bike this weekend except that my package from Wiggle has vanished in the post.
I have a lovely Fausto Coppi sitting in my flat, finished apart from a lockring and chain. They were posted to me on Tuesday.
Two working days my arse!

i just got in from Amman.
my bike is in bits downstairs.

broken spoke, rear wheel is all over the shop

ill...

again...fuck right off...

I've been laying pavers in my front garden.

my frame broke... in a way gaffa tape won't fix :(( sad times

I just finished getting lost in Christchurch at night on my bike.

Had knee surgery (arthroscopy) few days ago. Should be able to start a few gentle and short turbo-training sessions at the weekend though...
