Al: a blog about bikes and stuff.

Sweeet!(tm) I have ordered my new handbag from the nice peeps at Timbuk2. An 840 Ballistic Pee Wee in Rooster Red / South City Silver / Rooster Red, with a center divider and matching South City Silver strap pouch. It’ll match my Bullit. My Dee Dog has lasted over 7 years! So you will appreciate…

Well there you go. A quiet night in never manages to be dull in my life. This evening it was enlivened by my freezer, which had managed to become one huge lump of ice. But not just normal ice, no, that nice crystal clear ice that artists make sculptures with. Pretty! So much ice it…

What a pleasant evening down The Green Tree with a few friends, why can’t life be like this evening more generally? Is it asking to much? I can’t think it is, I mean, all I am wanting is good company, friendly banter and a fine pint. Is that to much for life to be like?…

Weekend was good. Ended up breaking bikes Saturday morning then riding over at Hornton Hill Saturday afternoon. Much fun on the 4X track and the nice jumps. I actually managed to jump some jumps, which for me is a rather cool thing! Rah rah rah! There are pics and videos if you know where to…

I’m starting to find more and more problems with on-line shopping. Perhaps due to me buying more on-line I’m sure, but still its starting to bug me. I want a couple of things, small computer related items. Of the three places I regularly buy such things, only two sell one of the items but neither…

Bummer. This weekends Dragon Downhill race in Les Gets (yes, thats in France) has been canceled. Apparently even though Jason (the race organiser) sorted things with the Mayor in January he and the tourist office are now saying no. They did say they would let Jason hold the race with only 130 riders and only…

Bah. Its Friday but its sucky. Mainly, in fact entirely, due to work. Because of crossed wires the SSL cert I rushed through to get in time was for the wrong domain as the client doesn’t want to use their domain with a hyphen in after all, faff faff faff. I have to take shit…
