6 beers and 5 Jacks a day, solid numbers and yeah, might have needed a day or two off.


Yeah not great, too easy when away and relaxed, put on 4kg's in a flash, have lost them again thankfully and got a couple of big bike rides coming up, every kg I can take off will make the rides much more enjoyable!

We went for a ride last night and as I was approaching a bridge there seemed to be a path that descended towards it, as I got about a foot away I realised it was a set of steep rocky stairs about a 1.5M drop, I had to commit, it was too late to do anything about it, how the hell I came out unscathed bewildered the missus, a couple walking their dog, a dude waking with his kid and myself, it was friggin scary.

That probably got your through, when out on the trails on the Mountain Bike the worst thing you can do is hesitate or slow down, speed and commitment is you friend!

You know what?

I rate the **** out of the fact that if one of our fellow posters (or their family) is in need of a hand, there's always someone there to help.

As much as we all talk shit on here, it makes me proud knowing that I'm a small part of this community.

Absolutely, we can talk to family, friends or work colleagues, we can post shit on facebook where fake friends can snigger to each other and quite often only scour facebook hoping people fail.

Enter the forum where there's a bunch of people just wanting to get through the day without killing anyone, it's a close knit group when the chips are down for a fellow comrade, it certainly gets me through most days.

I'd be lost without the forum, that's for sure.

I've had the pleasure of meeting some of you in the flesh too.
