Jeezy Chreezy this real life bullsh*t really does keep getting in the way. Anyways…. with my ride buddy sunning it up in Oz on his honeymoon it was just Pete, Sheila and I. We met up at the Ming-maid chippy (I’ll not put its real name of Mermaid Fishery here as this blog ranks fairly […]

Fat Lad Rides The Thorpe Tickler YET A-FECKIN-GAIN
March 22, 2005 – 3:27 pm
Tmesis, how cool a word is that. It means to insert one word into another. Like absofeckinlutely or unbe-twatting-lievable. Despite what your parents/teachers may tell you swearing is big and it is clever. As the more observant readers may be able to tell I’m getting a touch bored with the Thorpe Tickler and if I […]
Oooh Shiny

Despite the lack of posts lately I’ve ridden twice since my last entry. Besides all being well I’ll be out tommorow with these: Mmmm….. shiny. Hopefully with the weather predicted to get a little better and the nights getting lighter we can start doing some more riding and some new routes. Here’s hoping. Fat Lad

It snowed on the Tuesday we normally ride. Really snowed, and after taking my brakes to bits I couldn’t ride because somehow I’d managed to make the rear caliper leak during the bleeding process. As Mrs Fat Lad will tell you I was in a foul mood. I couldn’t get the replacement parts on Monday […]

I’d had one of those days, you know those real f*ck you and all your b*llshit days. To be completly honest the last thing I wanted to do was go riding. In fact I was ” ” this close to a large bag of Doritos and pints and pints of banana milkshake. “Go. You’ll love […]

SHEILA! Is the name of Pete’s Missus. I found this out during this ride. I can’t remember whereabouts on the ride she told me but she did. Aren’t you glad I cleared that up? No? Oh well. NEW TOY ALERT 2: I got some new lights because my last ones were pants. They are the […]

Sunday morning and for once I’m out of bed, fed, watered and ready to go. I pootle up to the Mermaid chippy to meet Pete and his missus. Again I’m early and this is really starting to freak me out. I don’t do early. I’ve got a reputation to maintain….. Pete and his better half […]

I’ve actually been out twice since I last wrote but this real life crap really does keep getting in the way! Tuesday night rolled round like it always does and a few posts on the Bad Brains forum later fellow rider Chip decided he would be joining the Morley Master-class. Turning up at my gaff […]

Apologies for the length of time between posts but you know how it is; sometimes real life gets in the way…. So any ways, back in the mists of time Roachy and I decided it was time to find some more routes for our Tuesday night rides and on that strength we decided to use […]
