  1. Well done Christopher there was never any doubt ( in my mind anyway ) Bring it on !!!
  2. I watched the Vuelta aswell and your right Chris Froome was sensational but Wiggins is Sky's No.1 rider so all efforts will be made to get him to the finish line . Lets not forget the Manx Missile Cavendish , its sending shivers up my spine just imagining him coming down the Champs Elysee with the Sky shirt on . Vive La Tour !!
  3. Get your exploits on the ' How Far ' thread It has encouraged me to get fitter aswell
  4. Yeh last year was absolute carnage , there tough blokes
  5. Tinker , are you a ' nomadic trimmer ' for want of a better word ?? if you dont mind me asking
  6. This event has me absolutely hooked . The favourite is Bradley Wiggins , history in the making for Great Britain ... forget the Olympics guys this is stuff of folklore
  7. Forestry commission used to do information sheets , they are very good for deciding which chemical , where and when etc probably still do them .
  8. I think your gonna surprise yourself I'm marshalling a 30k TT tonight and the weather is horrific , they must be hardy or off their heads
  9. Not Buckinghams for sure .
  10. Good way of catching a branch , never thought of that Think Albedo's cat in the first pic is saying ' Go on , try and grab me by the scruff of the neck '
  11. Couldn't agree more...
  12. funny i was thinking exactly the same thing there
  13. Big advantage that i can see is the continious pull . The ones over here ( look identical to ones shown ) dont do this but are only about £20 quid or something . Only downside is that they can be fiddley to release under high tension which is where the tirfor types always win , but for lightness , cost etc they are good .
  14. I'm liking that alot
  15. Had a guy come up and challenge me to a race at the skating the other day . I was quite shy at accepting at first but there was no way in the world i was backing out . I won convincingly and really surprised myself at the power i was generating . No way in the world this would have happened only a few weeks ago . Theres nothing will stop you doing this Christopher , absolutely nothing
  16. GriGri 2 ( RADS set-up )
  17. If you biker dudes get a chance to visit Alford transport museum there is some really lovely bikes , my favourites were an MV Agusta ' Senna ' edition and a Honda RC30 , beautiful sorry for the derail Trad .
  18. Sorry , howz that now ??
  19. Yes i did , put in my full name
  20. Definetely over do it , i want to see some suffering !! Good luck ...
  21. I'm marshalling at a 25mile TT shortly , does that count ? Just back from hockey practise , shattered again . I'm enjoying reading your exploits lads keep posting
  22. Youse are talking about' Clegs' boys
  23. I would reckon if its a powerfull brushcutter/strimmer , say a 35/40cc jobby a heavy grass blade ( sort of 3 prong steel head ) would make very light work of it because you dont need the machine on full revs constantly . This would get the grass down to a level which once dried would just need a light strim . If you use strimmer wire you will probably need to give the strimmer a thrashing all day long which obviously you dont really want to do . If its a warm day the machine could be glowing hot quite quickly . The killer wont be the height of the hedge but the width at the top , which could be a real issue if you dont have the right tools
  24. You should have a little trail of sawdust come out from their bums
