It's near always downhill that does it. You can try shortening your gait when going downhill. Smaller steps can reduce the pressure.

Cuckoo in the nest. Meaning: An issue or a problem, etc, is a cuckoo in the nest, it grows quickly and crowds out everything else. Another woman, masquerading as a friend looking for a husband, any husband so long as it's a farmer.

Me, I was being sarcastic that the frame wouldn't take it, that got well n truly lost in translation didn't it

Nope. They had a cuckoo in the nest. Pretty, slim, wanted to marry a farmer...

Just sarcasm

Bonkers! I'd worry the RE frame wouldn't take that weight for long! Very entertaining though. She was having a lot of fun. My Himalayan is currently stuck in clevedon cos they sent him the wrong oil filter! Poor guy is already really behind, he's been desperately trying to get everyones work done being he goes off for just short of a month! Now he has both of my touring bikes there so I hope he gets one down or I'll have to drive a poxy car to Brighton BOOOOO

It's just about to tip into that territory hence having to write a letter. They have been involved just once as he had to renew his shot gun licence, they came around and he lied about he marriage being sound. The police obviously picked up on something asked her on her own, she didnt know what had been said and told them they have separated and are in the process of getting divorced and that he wasn't living there. They let him keep his guns on the understanding they were kept in the gun cupboard where they are registered and told her she must let them know immediately if he comes to get them. Well he took them, she got scared and the police took the guns. Thank fuck.

I've just had to spend two hours crafting a letter with Mr Slowly about the damage his brother in law has done and continues to do to his sister. Fuck me when you sit down and start writing down all of the incidences it makes for a harrowing read. I'm going to need a lot of cups of tea for this one!

Yep. If anyone has knee issues that is what a surgeon would recommend. There are usually stacks of them available second hand on places like eBay.

A static exercise bike would be MUCH better than riding on the road where you can't control the starts, stops or inclines. You also can't control the weather and I don't see you out on the road in all conditions to get that 10 mins exercise done everyday.. too hot.. too cold.. too rainy. At home you can place the machine in front of the aircon. Happy days. Cycling on a static exercise bike is a hell of lot easier on the knees than walking. Walking involves impact which is what sets off knee pain. Cycling is non-impact and builds up the muscle around the knee, ultimately helping reduce pain in the long run. The compressive forces of walking downhill are usually the finisher for age related knee problems.

Whatever you choose to do after such a long period of inactivity is going to cause you a lot of grief, whether you're successful will be very dependent on starting off very small and building up very slowly. The level of commitment is usually where most people fail. 10mins max every other day for the first week, then once you can do without no consequences 10 mins everyday, then once 10 mins everyday is too easy increase by no more than 10% each time on the distance. Do not instigate another increase until you can complete the exercise with complete ease. Exercise bikes are the best choice for someone getting back to fitness because the resistance can be lowered, you can cycle consistently without starts and stops, you can easily measure what you're doing and it's possible to watch tv while you're doing that boring 10 minutes.

Careful Rich, sounds like Bucks made a sore spot and you know what sharks are like when they smell blood

Sounds like he’d have plenty of useful info

Depends on your capacity, my legs start to ache after 8 hours

It’s scrumpy - ‘Stan’s’ by Thatchers. Farm gate laws mean it’s £8.80 for 5litres. As you know real cider catches people out because it has a much higher alcohol content than it tastes like it has. You can warn folk but it’s generally too late by the time the message has sunk in

My first thought was airfield! There was a guy on the forum that shall remain nameless who was well into all that. He was always asking if anyone wanted to join in. Might be worth contacting him if he’s still about. I think he was called ‘megawatt’.

No I wouldn't.

She is crazy but in a fun way.

The wet weight of the Bandit is 250 without luggage, with it I dread to think. Get out for a walk or two man!

Hernia man has a breakdown

Depends who's riding it

Well well well. Who would of thought Six would be the one displaying a level of sophistication others can't attain
