saw a couple of fellas riding through sutton park towards town gate earlier, and got a very cheery smile from the second. I had the red bike and stern look after 10 miles into the wind..

bit late in the day on this one but there's loads of xc trails in sutton park. there's a kinda homemade jump section near four oaks - it's off a tarmac road that runs up towards four oaks gate. you need to turn off up into the woods at 'heart-attack hill' and there's a couple of doubles, few drops and all sort's of homemade stuff - some of it's a bit shady though & moist after rain. that said, haven't checked it for six-months but it's been there years so guessing it still is. next time i'm up the park i'll check it out. i know the park well, so if anyone needs a guide gimme a shout....

i did a bit of work with pushbikes back in the day. although they do a great job, i seem to remember it being short on crack pipes and dancing girls. a beard was mandatory as well but looking in the mirror, i have a beard thesedays. christ, i think i've morphed into one of them. back into therapy i go...

Just got back from Steelhouse Lane Cop Shop...
I got caught up with this fella outside Wagamama's last night - hacksaw in hand - having a 'tickle' with my bike. Not one for pleasantries and friendly banter I dropped him like a sack of shit, but got detained by Bullring security and police.
Luckliy, all is sorted and my bike is fine. I was getting some serious shit by the rozzers about taking the law into my own hands. Apparently, i should of taken a description, called the police, then observed him from distance.....Fuck me - has the world gone mad? He was mine... all mine.
you are a true hero and don't let the len convince you otherwise. i've had two attempts: one got a seatpost and saddle and the other got a few digs in the ribs, slap around the chops and part dangled over a bridge. although i feel my karma suffered somewhat, the satisfaction of catching one of the little fucker's in action was worth it...
