Everyone knows that resolved narratives are only used to drive consumerism.

An open ending is unsatisfactory and realistic

Last night my wife was filling out an application. A colleague had suggested her for the role. It’s for additional work as a mentor for POC looking to progress their career in this specific field.

There was a section about the barriers that she perceived in progressing her own career.
She wrote about her own culture and community’s low expectations for women with regards to getting good job and having to overcome them while at the same time strive to achieve in what is sometimes a very alien world to her.
I asked about class and was that a factor that could compound the racial boundaries? Virtually all of her colleagues are privately educated, lovely people in most cases but a cast iron In-Group. My wife was genuinely scared of including that observation. Subconscious racism is deniable especially to one’s self, but the advantages of a “good school” are not so subtle.
So she included a section about unconscious-bias within that group as well.
Not sure how well it would go down but hey, gotta speak truth to power

I just re-logged in after a about 3 years without to sell some kids bikes.
It’s fucking hellish I can barely parse the page.

I ride with Walcot...well I pay my subs and get out officially about twice a year. It’s the better club.

Colliers way is fine, it makes up part of a 50k loop from Bath

For a 27km mostly off busy road route try

Two tunnels path > wellow> down to and across the Ford then up hassage hill round to faulkland, then across the little Ford back through stoney Littleton past the WW2 defence line & longbarrow to wellow then back on the two tunnels home.

DM me and I’ll see if I can work out how to get you a gpx

As for hills, Rosemount is a jolly punch of a consistent 27 % , there’s a beauty up from St Catherine to marshfield. Obviously there’s the more well known Weston Lane, Brassknocker, Shaft, Summer Lane, North Rd, Bannerdown , kingsdown loads more.

I ordered an SJS “elite” one as linked above. I’m currently using a no-name one my LBS prized off an old set of forks.

I will report back on the new one

I’m in Bath, which is cool. If I had any real say in the matter I would now chose Bradford on Avon over Frome.
Frome is OK but it always seems to be damp when I ride through, like the town never really gets dry.

Interested in the outcome of this..am I going to have to fork* out £30 on a washer?

*Pun unequivocally intended and signed in blood

3 cheers etc

I've paid £11 for a 330ml bottle of warm Peroni in London before

As the song went “abuse the bugle-boy in company B”
I think it was the guardsman named Stokes.

Here’s a nice video to explain

There are so few good thrillers about “them” being out to get us these days, because they got us

Ok Gritfest

Happy now?

I’ve been event doxxed

I was admiring a Fargo at a gravel event a couple of years back. I bloke I know who is very srsbsns rapid roadie type rocked up with one. I thought it a little out of character and a bit of an agricultural bike for him.
Then in the race with long fast gravel descents, it made a lot of sense. The high front end seemed to add a lot of stability and while not exactly nimble, it was adequately robust for the job. (The winners all road XC MTBs as far as I could tell)

.

Ordered some trainers for my kid...assumed it was from a U.K. site. Nope it’s in the Netherlands and UPS the courier.

It’s no biggy, but I wouldn’t have ordered from the site if I knew it was for stock held outside U.K.

Next Brexit Bombhead I meet, my daughter can punch in the balls.

I’m all for an independent Scotland
I’m considering even moving just in case it does get independence.

But you’ll be taking Gove back yeah?

Nice as it would be but Wales voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU

If we took the Welsh votes out of the pot would we have left?

Wind River is OK but it’s a massive case of White Saviour.
I have the suspicion its heavily lifted from the superior Mystery Road

Not at all snowy though

OK Boomer in hieroglyphs

Surprisingly little in U.K. press about this
