Inspirational pic. I must get my MTB rolling again next week.

It's matchday. Real Madrid v Our Percy. 5.55pm BT Sport

oh, tyres, tyres, tyres. I've had a pair of Pirelli cinturato 28s running tubeless on my commuter this year. The front is behaving itself, but the rear is shot - many deep cuts seeping sealant, squared off - so it's time for a new tyre. Under my rear mudguard I can fit a 28 or a 30. I had a...

I fell in love with 5800 groupsets a few years ago. Spot on performance and not too costly. Well, my Oreo is now 21 months old and has 5,500 miles on the clock. It's had a reasonable cleaning regime with a scrub and some squirt lube. I've been impressed with its longevity, but now it needs new...

Whoops, nearly missed Monday's vuelta stage as I thought the riders deserved a rest. Oh no, 3 hills to race up is much a nicer way to spend the day.

Checkout the bus routes from the ground to Clapham Junction. 15 mins or so on a bus if I remember correctly.

Is the Balltree still in Sompting? Used to do gales ales - a fine pint of HSB.

Percy has started the 2nd half. 0-0

The match is on BT sport - Percy is on the bench

I conquered it. It was a bit more uphill than I was led to believe from certain posts! I don't ride East Sussex often, but I enjoyed today - lots of steep little bumps.

Kidd's Hill! I've got my eye on that for tomorrow (Tues). I'm not expecting too much trouble.

Brompton Bike Hire This is something I've been watching for a while, but their T&C's have put me off. Essentially they have the upper hand when arguing over damage etc. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a go. I signed up for the princely sum of £5 and reserved a bike The toughest part of the whole...

I've signed up for a year of the brompton bike hire scheme. Tomorrow will be my first which I think starts with a krypton factor style puzzle of unfolding the bike. The scheme allows users to reserve a folding bike from a station and return it to any locker in the UK. So it's a ride alongside...

Think yourselves lucky you get club emails. They ignore me despite me being a STH virtually every year for the last 37 years!

Yep, just need to include people who walk or cycle in the calc and that plan works.

Oh yes, I like that. What long nipples you've got on that front wheel!

So, a defender is under pressure in the penalty area he just needs to kick the ball at the ref and his keeper gets a drop kick?

Yup, me too with the Lezyne strap. However, I do break the front lights from time to time. I think the best lights are exposure, but they many ££££s

But, how do you receive these club emails? I've been a STH for the last 20 years and never get any eComms from the club

Rotten luck to be hit, but good that he's mostly OK. One thing I only realised the other day is if I use a bike path then I'm more likely to be hit by an uninsured person than if I'm on the road. I'm especially thinking about some of the faster bits of bike path along embankment where head-on...
