Can I have a go on your bike, mister?

There's something in Debretts covering the etiquette of refusing a dinosaur, but it escapes me.
So I politely made my excuses and left the 8 foot raptor behind.

I like the way he's tethered to the post!


Policemen are like toilets...

Where did all the sunshine go?

I have a weekend off, and what do I find when I get back?
It's gone all cold and muddy!

I don't know what Nick and Shaman looks so happy about!

Maggot Farm Competition!

Well, that should have grabbed your attention - what do I mean?

Flat racing with maggots, a group of bookmakers clustered at the side of the track?

That was the year...

... that was.

Well, it's raining again (got soaked every day last week), I'm not feeling too good, and my mojo is cowering under the bed upstairs.

So I'm not riding.
Instead, here's my view of 2007.

Let's start with a very rare picture of me. Spent hours photoshopping this to make my wheels appear off the ground!

Calm down, dear, it's only a commercial!

Well, I've not had much response to my post for A Ride.
So I thought I could try and tempt you with some photos.
It's going to be a Winner! (sorry, just pass me the green one with the furry collar)

Cragg Quarry - it's the new Alton Towers!

Never mind paying through the nose for some tame rides with a negligible risk of causing permanent damage when you have a real chance of breaking a clavicle (dislocating a shoulder, maybe?) in the quarry?

Ullswater Outing

I was going to call this a saunter down the High Street.
Unfortunately we never made it - after battling through gales to reach the halfway point of the ascent, we threw in the towel, dropped our saddles and headed for the sanctuary of the valley bottom.
