I bought a saddle from lidl in a bike sale, Kinetik it's called.

Huge saddle, comfy as hell. Done quite a bit off-roading on it, works a treat!

Yesterday was good for cycling, if you like the rain! some thunder as well!

Easier to sleep last night, was cooler then the humid nights.

Living on the coast i would expect it to be cool, but it's still blistering hot. Not as hot down south, london area - i've been to london when it's 30+ degrees, i know how painful it is.

Yesterday i went out on my bike, only a short one. I couldn't cope with the heat.

The thunderstorm about 3 o clock was awesome though. Didn't get torrential rain but the lightning and thunder was above us, further in-town got the rain, about 3 inches of it fell in a few minutes.

Floods the streets for a time, the electric went off for a couple of hours. Mobile phone signals were lost as well!

That sounds awesome.

Wish i was in the countryside!

Hi, just wondering if anyones done this red off-road graded route before?

It's in hexhamshire common, about 15.6 miles (24.6kms) starts at whitley chapel, goes over the moors around allenheads i believe then back round finishing at whitley chapel.

It's in high plains, next to riding mill - near corbridge/hexham area.

I'm doing this on saturday, just wondering if anyone will be out over there that day. =P

I ride 40 miles, I consume 2000 cals, and have no conscience about it whatsoever!

Couch Potatoes. Are they anything like Roast Potatoes?

Same here, my metabolism - for the time being is bloody awesome!

I never go over 12.5 stone, i cycle every day nearly - eat loads and feel great!

I would hate diets!

Something like that would suffice.

Don't always have to buy it though.

Cor blimey, why would one get an ipod then? Stick with an MP3 or an MP4 player for that matter.

Yeah, my card was used fraudently a couple of weeks back.

Vodafone top-up of £30 phoned them up and took me 2 hours to get the numbers transferred between centres.

They said to phone up vodafone but i was like, why? I don't have any banking details with them.

In the end i actually got to the right person who actually spoke english and then sent me a pack out to put the details down etc, new card then i had a refund within a week.

Go for the 1000. . .

I don't own a ipod but i'm sure it's just like a flash drive with music on it.

Have you tried transferring the music from your ipod to your PC?

I don't see how it won't work.

That's awesome Mick.

Must of took a while to type that but it's worth it!

Very interesting read that.

Cheers man, i'll keep that in mind.

Hope it does come with a free inner tube.
