    What are you doing this evening?

    Sitting around being way too fuckin tired browsing the interwebs, waiting for the phone to ring. (I'm on call.) :-\

    Pic from last week, but any ride gets better if it has a little ferry in it. ;-)

    You can have any drink for free as long as it's tap water. :iconmrgreen:

    Nowt wrong with a bit of Bushmills. As long as you stick to this side of the Atlantic you'll be fine. :iconmrgreen:

    Alcohol cooking stoves

    Oh yeah. The orange drawstring bag is kinda convenient to have though, but a posh leather one? They’ve got wool ones too. I mean, are you worried the poor dear will get cold? :iconmrgreen:

    Oh I thought the duossal ones were more expensive. That's not too bad. *going off to have another look myself*

    A Picture a Day

    Wee bimble. Still very wet out there so getting the bike dirty was nooo problem at all. Water's still pretty high, has been for months now. The ferry is going but the access road is barely dry. You can see by the grass hanging off the fences that it's been a fair bit higher. And look...

    Fingers on brakes

    Fingers on brakes

    I do notice that a LOT of videos are done by and aimed at the go faster crowd, like we all have to be racers or MX types that go a million miles an hour like Chris Birch. I'm perfectly happy to do big bike trial instead. :iconmrgreen:

    Fingers on brakes

    I suspect "trail braking" is a fancy name for a very regular thing lots of people do anyway, just like the whole song and dance about counter steering. I mean if you're doing really serious offroad/race stuff I can see that keeping a finger or two hooked around the bars with the others on the...

    Fingers on brakes

    I can’t get used to it either, ditto clutch. Clutch especially because it won’t fully disengage with my fingers in between. Brake kinda ditto, at least there’s always the thought of them getting in the way when you need a proper handful. ;-)
