Expect punctures for your heresy

Don’t get suckered into thinking they’ve got a panini grill in the cafe.

And wear waterproof socks and shoes that are easy to clean.

Bog season is officially upon us.

is anyone around on Thursday?

Possibly

Wouldn't be like anyone to get caught out by a mystery pond now would it?

Is the mystery pond back?

I doubt it, I saw them repairing the water main next to it.

That’s good. Always wondered what had caused it.

Or why it didn't drain...

Sshhhh

Anyone else for Thursday?

The bog should be coming along nicely right now

It's currently the dictionary definition of bog right now.

On Thursday I managed to spin the rear wheel and get a splatter of cold wet bog on the back of my neck, was particularly unpleasant.

You could always embrace the anti-cool

Get a mud hugger!

I got a Crudcatcher XL for the front, but the front Asssaver is about as good and doesn't rub on the tyre. as for the rear this is the only time the Asssaver has let me down.

who wants to go for a ride this Sunday?

Yeah, weather dependant

No no no, the accepted response is

I can do Saturday

Do you even lfgss

Do you even lfgss

barely

Maybe.

Probs should take it for a spin now that I've serviced the fork and straightened the hanger, and (!!!) cut the head tube.

And in other big news, my replacement RaceFace crank is due for delivery, so I can look forward to tightening that back up every 10 meters again.
