    Happy heavenly birthday Pete.

     

    I didn't think he believed in that place but if he did it would probably look like this for him LOL

    Neck and neck between the blue dildo and the yellow peril 

    Even Stevens now i voted for the yellow peril, Since i didn't get the XR's photo in this month because the submission date was brought forward and this wouldn't have happened if @Six30 had stepped up to run the show, i'm going to punish him through the voting system with a bit of vote switching to keep the dildo down  :classic_tongue: :classic_laugh:

  5. Had a few hours out on the XR tonight pretty much the same route i done on the X Trainer a few weeks ago.
    People locking gates on the highway again i dropped into the drainage ditch further over to the right to get around as the horse access is a nightmare to get over, the sleepers are placed so when the front wheel hits the furthest one, the rear wheel hits the near one. Easy to wheelie over but i'm not good enough for that.

    Had a little incident on the lane in Abercynon, I normally go down the elbow which is the correct route but is quite rocky and hard work, so decided to cut the corner but forgot it was pissing down all night which made everything slippery, lost the front end done a lovely forward roll followed by a few barrel rolls, didn't think i was going to stop at one point.

    It looks cleaner now, if you look at it from across the street.

    Also took the old E30 for it’s mot, which it passed with only 1% difference between left and right suspension and brakes in both axles, I think their machines are fucked :classic_laugh:

    Also gave it a wash, last one was a while ago, and although it never sees any rain it did make a substantial difference. 
     

    Tomorrow meeting up with @JustaPor for lunch somewhere on the bikes.

    Can you imagine Pete's reaction to that mess :classic_laugh:

  7. I think I've fixed my central heating leak today and @Catteeclan you were right boiler is fucked, I suspected the main heat exchanger is cracked and was told that was the end of the boilers life even though it is only 7 years old, after a quick google search i found a reconditioned heat exchanger for £144 with a years warranty and a YouTube video of my exact boiler showing how to change it . Took me about 3 hours to change and with no cuts to my hands lol, i will know tomorrow if it has fixed the problem

    This is the old heat exchanger stripped down, the reconditioned part came complete with all sensors and probes

    This is of the bottom of it and connects to the condense trap that white shit shouldn't be in there

  9. That's the discs done on the Marmite wagon, although they were bloody hot and smoking when i got back from my test run hoping that's just them bedding in. I will try them on on a run with no hills tomorrow to see if they are still getting hot.

    Well, Bob, during the course of dinner and breakfast, which I also had with them, I learned a few interesting things:

    - They don't mind peeing during a race. If it's winter and really cold they welcome it as it warms up their legs. They disregarded my suggestion that if everyone stops for a flat 3 minutes to pee then civilization wins and nobody looses time.

    - They think they're faster going down a mountain than a motorcycle. I told them they only think that because the motorcyclists are carrying a cameraman standing up and wait for them everywhere except for 5 seconds during some apexes, I almost got one of them to propose a grudge match :classic_laugh:

    - They don't eat bread with dinner, ever, but do eat proper food with the apetite of young lions.

    - If an athlete wishes to have a glass of wine or one beer at dinner, he can, if it's nice red wine. If he really doesn't take a lot of pleasure out of it, all they ever drink is water. This does not apply for coaches :classic_laugh:

    - For celebration with alcohol, bubbly is good for them, apparently does something for their gut?

    - Breakfast on race day consists of a big breakfast of oats and yogurt and stuff like that, but then they also have lunch at the same time, which today consisted of pasta and eggs. Then they don't eat until 6PM after the race except very soft energy boosters in a pinch.

    - A few of these kids, all aged from 18 to 20, do practice runs of pushing by themselves for over 100km, and enjoy it!!! :classic_unsure:

    - Between today and sunday, they will have raced for over 1000km.

    - Turns out cycling is much more of an individual sport than I thought. They each play a part for the strategy of the team, but are judged merely on their individual abilities.

     

    A mate of mine was a very keen cyclist years ago and tried to join some elite group in our area, but they refused his application. A few weeks later he stopped on his pushbike for an ice cream on top of a local mountain pass. He said he was watching a group of cyclists approaching and then realised it was the group he tried to join, as they went past one of them shouted that's why you will never be a member of this group as he licked his ice cream LOL. He was doing 100 mile days on his own so god knows what they were doing for him to not be good enough. Now after meeting his woman he's fat, drinks a bottle of wine a day and doesn't cycle at all.
