Little ride today. Ok not the fastest on the Mountain bike, but the speed will come with the fitness.

A very keen cyclist had a really bad accident a few weeks ago. He hit a pot hole and went over…even though he had a helmet on he ended up at Southampton general in a coma. So as Shaw Taylor always said…“keep em peeled”.
Two guys I used rto work with both cycled to work. One was chased by a dog, fell off and broke his arm. The other hit a pothole, went over the handlebars and broke his back! I like to go out occasionally and it is the best way to see the countryside but because I dont rid often I get really sore in that area between the anus and the ballsack - dont know what it is called but the saddle really plays havoc with it!
I used to work with a chap who went on a charity ride from Southampton to Glagow. He’s the most accident prone person I know so it was was considered by many as “an accident waiting to happen” for a good cause. The accident happened just outside Manchester on the day of the Manchester air disaster when a plane caught fire on the runway…Dave put his front wheel in a pothole and landed on his face.
Later that day he found himself in the same ward as the air disaster survivors being iterview by the local press…he was apparently the worst injured in the ward…they though he had been on the plane.

I go out most weeks - full fledged MAMIL - found yet another hobby to fritter away my hard earned on titanium this and unobtainium that. Proper shiny kit merchant.
That said I have dropped a stone and a half since starting last August so the Ayatollah doesn’t mind.
Yep thats me too - got back on the bike just over 18 months ago when I finally gave up smoking after 20 years
Managed to convince Mrs Cracked Rib that I be allowed to spend what previously went on ciggys on bike and stuff… not sure she realised how much it adds up to even at 5-6 packs a week… lots of nice carbon stuff now
… will be 3-4 weeks before I can get back on the road though ;-(
Thought I would share a few pics of my bird that I ride hard every few days 
After a wet session:
And when the sun was still hanging around:
Corr, that bint’s got frame all the way up to her gusset.
Prolly.

You should see just how much lube she needs.
I like to get out there, though I did a bit more before the day an elderly spinster armed with a hatchback smashed me to fuck a bit in a cycle lane and left me bleeding in the road.
That was a wake up call for helmets and the art of trying to guess what everyone else is doing.
Super skills innit 
Drawling, I love bike porn!
We’re is this?
Its Swinley Forest, Bracknell. A giant MTB playground and only about 20 mins away for me.
A former rally stage too.
Oh my god, this forum is getting more rude by the minute… I blame myself. 
Look at the cogs on that!
At least my bird has a supple ride.
Bucks - you are well and truely on the list!
Rallyboy, you’re not far off!

Got any 29"?
The pictures never do the bikes justice!
Nice pair of front forks too, I can see them jigging up and down when you go over the bumps.
