i. am. freezing. time for tea and a patty.

In, should be at the lamb in 30 mins or so, feeling the need for a drink!

Swiss stop, their pads are superb.

+1, I had the green viking ones on my cross bike until last week, no complaints and they seem to last for ever, barely any wear.

Frogglegs are good too, especially for the price. I think Planet-X have them on sale currently.

I swapped my CR520s (with swiss stop pads) for the frogglegs with the TRP pads. I think the frogglegs are only a tiny bit more powerful (though both are pretty woeful in general run through ergos levers), but the biggest advantage I've noticed so far is that the narrower profile means I knock them less in races, but that's probably not such a concern on a touring bike.

in, early burger too.

bit embarrassing for him they caught him up at all if they took ages to cross the road and he was on a rad fixie

Ironically he'd actually stopped at the next traffic light, giving the PCSOs time to catch up by jumping the ped crossing next to fishcotheque. Double standards.

andyp interviewed on cross crazy, nice tubs!

London team 'cross champs at haywards heath this afternoon...

Just heard we won the womens (even with my super slow contribution), booyah, more medals!

London team 'cross champs at haywards heath this afternoon. Rode for dulwich paragon women, think i probably came last thanks to being at the back end of tne grid and chronic lack of fitness (commuting only since christmas, plus two weeks off work sick very recently), but I'm really happy with my ride. Made it through atleast ten different kinds of mud without crashing (albeit slowly), and nailed some technical(ish) bits, which just goes to prove that streaming a UCI race each weekend is good for something atleast, 'cos i dont know where else I picked that stuff up.

in, looking forward to it big time.

PCSOs on The Cut/Bayliss Road again this morning. Got treated to the amusing sight of two of them leaping into action to chase down an RLJ'ing fixie skidder. Took them 30 seconds to get on the right side of the road, then until past the IMAX to even catch up with him, with one of the PCSOs squeezing/scooting up the inside of traffic (right in the blindspots) after taking the wrong lane. I'm cool with them doing their job, but it was like watching wacky races, I was more worried one of the PCSOs was gonna get run over then the RLJ'er.

teenslain getting his trouser leg caught in his chain suffering a mechanical tonight. Oh joe, best stick to walking 'em... ;)

Jonny on half moon lane this afternoon, hola.

Hanway Street. Its 11 degrees outside, man up! :) Nah its not a real suggestion, I love it, but Bradleys has a special cheap and unsanitary charm best saved for special occasions.

I think we should go to Bradleys Spanish Bar and embrace street drinking.

Went past at 7, southbound direction closed just north of the junction, lots of police but no sign of an ambulance and I couldn't see a bike. A black cab was parked up inside the tape though. Not a great start to the month.

I walked past at pretty much the same time, cops and tape everywhere but didn't see a bike. Fingers crossed.

I passed by at about 08:05 this morning, Brixton Road closed both ways from the top end near Kennington Park to Cranmer Road. Twenty or so police there and a load of ambulances. Road taped off, and all traffic cleared apart from a car, bus and petrol tanker which are still parked up. Mangled hybrid lying in the road with a pile of personal belongings. Don't know the situation, looked like it happened quite a while earlier. Hope the cyclist is ok.

likewise.

you want leverage. does anyone have a narrow bit of pipe? or a fancy long spanner?

To be fair most people will probably be able to undo them with a regular 15mm spanner, I've just got a stubby spanner, and am particularly feeble . Clefty, are you in from early?

In. Does anyone have a 15mm spanner and some muscle I can please borrow tonight? Need to move my wheel back a smidge in the dropouts, and don't have the grrrr to undo the track nuts (they're rusted in place pretty solid).

sure, ok.

I also found the user manual and strap for this last night, so I'll include those too. So in summary (and still for the bargain price of £195):

• 1 x lightly used Canon 400D body (great condition)
  
• 1 x Lexar 1GB CF card
  
• 1 x Canon battery
  
• 1 x Canon battery charger
  
• 1 x user manual
  
• 1 x camera strap
  

The Konjin fest continues!
Lovely chatting this morn, sorry I lost you in the swamp of nodders at Kennington/Oval/whatever that bit is called. Hope you managed to sneak in w/o the boss realising you were late.

Nice to see you. Unfortunately my boss was the only person in the room when I arrived, busted :(

Out, looks like I'll be saving my triumphant return to Souths for next week then.

What's the skinny chip situation these days? Are they back to proper twiglets, or still weirdly medium sized? The answer to this question could make or break my day.

18th is fine for me, and somewhere central would suit.
