Got sent a survey from Wiggle 'please rate our service, I hope its all been good'. No it fucking hasent, I STILL havent recived the brake leavers I ordered after three weeks. Wankers.

I find it odd that there are no children on the streets any more due to pedos on every corner, now they are safely at home being safe on the internet they seem to be at risk once angain. Sounds like the children are the problem. Ban them.

NZkiddo, you should come riding with us. We ride tuesdays (meeting at 6 on the corner of Symonds and K Road). Often see your bikes in the shop but not on the road. Come along and say hi!

Hardshells last me 3 weeks max in Auckland. Slow as shite as well.

The refuse last me 2-3months. Bit faster as well.

Get some Maxxis Refuse tires. I run them in Auckland and they are great. Last WAY longer than the Gatorskin. What with the hills and the roads made up of volcanos you need some decent tires.

Not sure if Tim stocks them though.

Peter Jackson to turn Bale transfer into trilogy

31-07-13

THE long-running saga of Gareth Bale’s journey from Spurs to Real Madrid is to be made into a film saga by Peter Jackson.

One contract to bind him

The director who turned short farmers on a walk into a box office hit has already begun pre-production on the first film, detailing Bale’s plucky battle against the tyrannical club that pays him £110,000 a week.
Jackson said: “The trilogy is essentially a race between simple, good-hearted Welshman Bale and feral, once-human Luis Suarez for a massive contract with Real Madrid.
“The opening shot pans across the verdant, unspoilt greenery of heavy-manufacturing heartland Cardiff where a poor-but-happy Bale lives in his burrow on a high-rise housing estate.
“Flaxen-haired Savage the elf and wise old wizard Giggs the Grey launch our hero on his quest for a mountain of gold. He escapes the bitebeast Suarez by tricking him into thinking he has his heart in his hands by doing his trademark goal celebration.
“There was some worry with the finance people because, like with Harry Potter, we’re filming a story before it’s actually reached its conclusion. But Gareth has assured me the transfer will be completed by July 2015 at the very latest.”
Real Madrid, to be depicted as a giant glowing red eye in the heavens, said: “Can I just say that there’s no need for players to issue come-and-get-me statements through the media.
“We’re Real fucking Madrid. It doesn’t matter what you or your agent or your club or your wife says, if we want you we’ll get you.
The film A Universally Expected Journey, will be released at Christmas, going up against comedy Wenger’s Millions about a football manager trying to spend a fortune by August 31st.

How do you know Dasha?

From Auckland polo.

Say hi to Dasha for me next time you are playing polo.

Pro issue only Rapha ultra lightweight bibshorts. Little bit revealing at the cafe, but nicely ventilated. No one seems to want to draft you when you're wearing them either.

I have some Santini 'carbon' bibs. Really really good but a tad see through. On my local bunch ride some dude rode along side me and politely informed me that he could see my arse. My reply of 'lucky you' didnt go down too well and he hasent spocken to me since.

Rapha, seriously!!

Fuck Brad is looking good there. 'What, you can see all my home made tattoos? Fuck you Im King of the Mods!'.

Why?

100,000 Plastic reds in Melbourn last night.

What class age catagory is he in?

Unfortunatly I will miss the rest. I will let my freind know (who is working there) to shout for Juan Carlos.

My nephew has just won the cruiser class at the world championships in New Zealand please support Juan Carlos Dias Serna he is fantastic.

Awesome! I went and watched practice yesterday. There were some kids who were WAY to young to be jumping as high as they were. Bastards. Couple of nasty crashes as well. Are you over in NZ as well?

Max Sucks.

Why is it that when the fastest stage racing cyclist rides fast he is a doper but Bolt who is faster than all those doping arround him is the savior of the sport? Double standards really.

Will the bike 'porn' thread put the forum on Davids black list?

Fair enough. I really hate turbo sessions though. I will ride in a storm just to not do a turbo session. Hayfever sucks. Its quite nice not getting it in NZ. Dont know why but the pollen dosent seem to fuck with me here.

Turbo? Isnt it summer there?

I miss RP laps. In Auckland there is no easy loop, just an out and back along a very congested road (wich dose have some of the best views ever). Other than that it is just hills, hills and more hills. No pint of real ale at the end though.

Spotted JDs belly on Fixomatosys blog. http://www.fyxomatosis.com/index.php/66-r-i-d-e-s/1192-there-is-only-one-l-eroica

JD is now fixiebellyfamous

Maybe he decided to try a tyre grab to see what happens?

I remember when Pigfarmer demonstrated to some young lasses outside a pub 'how to stop a fixie'. Simply ride along, leen forward, grab front wheel as hard as you can. He stopped quickely enough, was more a barrel roll down the street rather than a whip skid though.

An elusive one at that.

You are right about Robin Hood btw.

Also, MoMA is the worst designed gallery I have EVER been in. No flow to the exhibitions. One ends up missing half the art due to being half lost most of the time. The Gugenhiem up the road works perfectly, start at the top and wind down through the whole musium seeing everything (if only the one in Bilbao was like that).

A lot of these buildings were built as a result of the slums after WW2. The idea behind them is genraly very good. Giving people nice views, easy access to aminaties, lots of green space. Unfortunatly, they became slums themselves. Some of them have worked and others have been made to work (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadwater_Farm I know Wiki is sometimes (often) wrong but this is pretty impreasive).

I think redevelopment of RHG is a good idea, starts to give people a little pride in where they live rather than moving them all to some other shit hole. Or maybe it just becomes a pollished turd and every one just stabs each other up.

I think the real issue (and one that has needed adressing for a few years) is the donning of baseball caps for the jersey presentations. It has gone on long enough and needs to be looked into. Despite Rapha offering a range of nice cycling caps Froome instead chose a baseball cap. If things carry on like this then in two years time they will all be wearing New Era caps.

Luckely, OFQS are leading the line and as soon as they finnish a stage they put on cycling caps (hipsters). They do need to work on the jornty angle and casualy deliberate though. Small steps (not quick ones).

I think the indipendant have been reading the forum.
