Due to logisitics he raced on the Fuel yesterday. He's loving the Fuel at the moment and clearly goes well on it. He was 2nd fastest time of the weeekend, but with 1 practice run and 1 ...

P1 today for the lad. It was a lower level race compared to Nationals, a regional i guess you'd call it.
But its his first win of 26 and hopefully a bit of a comeback trail in terms of feeling confident etc.

There's also coaching related reasons he raced today as its in ...

Just watched another game and I'm perplexed.
Living here i see hundreds of Spain shirts.
99% have Lamin Yamal (or whatever) on the back.

I've not see him do anything yet.

Apart from Pele who was a phenomenon, off top of my head I can think of 3 other 18 year olds who really did set the world ...

By golly its been 2 hot hard hard days on the bike in FoD. My legs are dead.

Interesting to note, 65mm rise bars in this bike are a massive no no.

I'm too sodding old.

I'm back there tomorrow and Sunday lol

Why would I mind?

pulse of 87, wow... that's a LOT....

Well done on the weight loss though mate.

Top day and night at FoD. The boy was coaching crust in the morning, then we left him to it and went for a ride.

He went racing in the evening and went fast.

I chilled and had a couple of ...

No idea who's on C5. I've got the usual guys on TNT as per Eurosport for last decade.

Surprised at result today. It was always going to be a sprint but thought it would be Jasper Philippsen.

Sat in think we'll be over about 10 if that works. Can't really do much earlier

Its never the cost, its the journey...

The only journeys you'll be making in a Jag are to and from the workshop.

With the roof down and my sunnies on!

yeah but it doesn't look cool when doing that on the back of a flatbed.

Yup, life's too short to be a greeny, so I'm going back to fire spitting ice engines with pops n bangs, as is befitting of a man over 60! :thumbup: Driving gloves and polyester trousers may or may not follow... :?

lol shelling out for something is £1000+ not £30k. You spend that on a round these days

I’m considering this as my next car: https://www.carwow.co.uk/porsche/taycan

Going to look at one in August.


Lovely but huge depreciation!


Cars are insane in that though. It makes me laugh that i am frowning on selling a MTB frame for £1000 less than i paid for it, but people are OK ...

It simply showed the farce that is VAR these days. The foul, was arguably a foul, it simply was.. He not only pulled his shirt (deliberate) but stood on his foot (accidentally), both instances were enough to give the free kick.
But if it's not given there and then, it shouldn't be given.

But it's ...

Going to be a big big few days i think. I've got Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun on the bike over FoD way for various lengths/time. The boy is finishing his coaching stuff so after this weekend will be flying solo as a coach for Katy. But that also means i've either got a lot of time to kill, or a lot of ...

Well the newly built wheel is holding pressure, which is better than the old Halo anyway.

Whether it's true enough and dished, is open to debate as i've used a pretty basic technique, so will need to get it checked next week over at Rotec, but i'm pretty happy that it would at the very least ...

It appears Mrs Weeksy has done a deal on this from a mate. It was bought in 25 but barely used, so she wanted one for when we move to the new house.

I've ridden it, but i've also ridden Rails so know ...

Nooooooo

I do like a good underdog!

LBS built up a couple of wheels last week. I had a mare getting the tyre on the other morning, the Contis are REALLY tight lol.

I gave up and fitted a spare as i ran out of time for taking to Revs. So i managed to get the tyre on yesterday, but due to a dink in the rim (flat spot) it wasn't fully ...
