And on it goes … Pete led us down the side of the hotel gliding over all the obstacles the trail could offer. Wizzing past the few walkers on this side of the park fence with cheery “hellosâ€, we soon made our way onto the main road, and onwards past the barking giddiness of the […]

Fat Lad and the Tale of Two Rides – Ride One
February 28, 2006 – 2:36 am
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was five mates cocking around on mountain bikes setting the world to rights and rallying to the cry of “It’s ride-able!†So… this is going to be really difficult. Trying to put down in words the […]
Fat Lad rides the Middleton Mosh
February 15, 2006 – 9:04 am
I’m sure I’ve mentioned on here somewhere before now that I’m not very good at mornings. In fact I’m quite possibly the worst person I can think of anti-meridian. It’s not that I’m surly, I don’t have the energy to be honest, I’m just, well, mleh. Anyways, a quick look out of the kitchen window […]
Fat Lad and the Night of a Thousand Stops
February 9, 2006 – 9:11 am
For a change, with a minimum of faff, I’d managed to get to the Pete’s house early. The pedal up to his abode had been a hassle free affair with slick shifting from both mechs and a lack of drivers attempting to smear over the tarmac. Pete was in the process of fitting his spare […]

January 23, 2006 – 8:34 am
For the last couple of weekends life has dictated that I couldn’t take NuNu out in the daylight so when the first chance arrived I leapt on it. It turns out my bike has got this black and white colour scheme going on…. Speaking to Pete on the Saturday evening he was on his way […]

Fat Lad Rides the Perfect Pootle
December 21, 2005 – 6:49 am
Sometimes, just sometimes, I’m late, and it’s not my fault… Doesn’t happen often I’ll admit it but is does. Not having heard from Glen or Roachy I stuck around an extra five minutes to be sure and then set off to meet Pete. Shooting up the cobbled lane at the side of the chippy I […]
09-11-2005 Fat Lad Rides with his dAd*
December 1, 2005 – 4:49 am
At my fine place of work holidays run January 1st to December 31st and as always it gets to this time of year and I’ve leave to use up. So with the promise of a pint and a Hamlet I managed to persuade stAn to let me tag along on one of his regular Wednesday […]
Fat Lad is Swamped

My time is limited presently. However I am beavering away when time permits: Fat Lad will resume very soon.
Fat Lad and the Shameless Product Whoring
November 25, 2005 – 8:02 am
stAn the club’s unofficial overlord/dictator/leader has been doing creative things with t-shirts. (no not that, get your mind out of the gutter) Available here and looking something like this: BTW I don’t see a penny of profit from these 🙂 Fat Lad
