Blimy the club were determined to pull my bloody legs off last night! I managed 13ish miles before I had to peel off with Big Rich back to the pub. 9.6 mph average, I’ve not ridden that fast since I left university! In other news, SteveyW heres your mention for making the climb at the […]

Fat Lad – This is Why
August 30, 2006 – 8:17 am
This is why I ride; when good friends and riders radio in to let us know they’re running late and we take the opportunity to chat away, discuss new kit and how despite the weather the good turnout. This is why I ride; with time fleeting and the sun escaping over the horizon we set […]
Fat Lad and a Fond Farewell
August 29, 2006 – 3:29 am
Keith, pootle crew lynch pin, Bad Brains club regular and all round damn nice guy was to leave us heading for the wrong side of the Pennines. In his honour we decided that the Tuesday Pootle would be the ride of his choice and for the apres dirt fun there was a vast multitude of […]
Fat Lad Is Sleepless In The Saddle
August 18, 2006 – 6:46 am
After visiting the club guys who had entered the Bontrager 24/12 event I was adamant the pootle crew were putting in a team for the next 24 hour event. So after little arm-twisting Carol, Phil, Keith, stAn and I were in. (Text in block quotes written on the day with weary fingers through bleary eyes.) […]
A Fat Lad Quickie…..
August 9, 2006 – 4:55 am
It might be short but it’ll be satisfying….. Anyways, last nights joint ride brought 40 (thats right four-zero) riders out to pester the good inhabitants of Newmiller…. It was like trying to herd cats in a thunderstorm. But Newmiller is always a good ride. Gezz managed to finish a ride with no mechanicals or major […]
Fat Lad rides the Drig Delight
August 2, 2006 – 2:24 pm
The daily grind was rapidly diminishing to a place in my mind where it could be lost forever as I pottered round the house getting ready. Mrs Fat Lad had two of her girl friends round so my usual wandering round my gaff semi/fully nude was out of the question. Dressed, I wandered into the […]
Fat Lad’s Little One….
July 21, 2006 – 9:13 am
Post that is….. So, in web-like-thing-related-news we have a rejigged navigation whojit to the left (means I don’t have to up date every damn page when a link changes – always good) and the new link kit. Believe it or not for such a simple looking page it took a phenomanal length of time to […]
Fat Lad Reaches the Clouds
July 17, 2006 – 5:25 am
There are worse ways to spend your Wednesday morning. Sitting outside the Mermaid chip shop, drinking in the morning sun, eating a banana, waiting for the already late stAn and I could think of a few involving the terminal at my work desk. All loaded up we set off in the Mud Bus heading for […]
Fat Lad rides the Big Easy
July 3, 2006 – 7:52 am
Well, the Drig Delight anyway. Thursday night is the Bad Brains club night and usually I can be found at the back of that particular pack trying to keep my heart and lungs inside my chest cavity. However they were doing a ride that I didn’t have the diesel to get to (this close to […]
Fat Lad’s Missing Mojo
June 25, 2006 – 2:11 pm
Sneaking away early from the daily grind Mrs Fat Lad and I perused a new gaff for us to cohabit. It’s rather nice and we sorted all the paperwork there and then. Mrs Fat Lad will tell you all sorts of things about central heating, double glazing, gardens, blah blah blah but what sold it […]
