Killing ourselves softly

...and without a song.


Here's a very rough map of the ride.


Great day, great views.


This is badger just about to go for a pee, we weren't tired by this point- he's just looking for his willy!!!


another stop, badger wanting another pee, i wanted some food...GO bar time.


Overall distance for the day, phew!

My favourite tool

This little guy tightens wheels and opens beers. what more do you want?

Perks of the job?

mad skids?

We were trying to get a photo of everyone skidding round the corner whilst throwing dust into the air...this is what really happened;

Riding

Before any mechanicals happened


puncture


Chris' man power braking more things


Just missed the old skool bird

Sweeties!

XTR & Tartan fur

Some pics of my cranks on the rig.

This is where i've been on placement for the last 10 weeks

Well, like badger i'm coming to an end of my education...a degree and a post-grad later i can finally find myself a job that pays some decent money.

I'm almost finished my last placement at Kingspark Secondary School and thought i'd post some pics of some of the areas where i taught. Didn't manage to get any pics of the outside facilities...i'll see what i can do, they really aren't that exciting.


This is the "Boy's gym," the p.e. dept has an old skool set up where there is a male end and female end. All areas are used by all pupils.


This is the main gym.


Another view point of the main gym.


This is the fitness suite, it is the most cramped room i've ever seen. It's even worse when you have to take a class of 30 3rd boys for fitness, there is no room to move.


This is the male office, the desk with the black folder and timbuk2 bag on the right is mine. It may be small, but it's my own desk!

Done

Finished polishing! Managed to write a 3000word essay today aswell, polished during my breaks. It was a lot easier than the saints...fingers are still killing me though. They will look perfect on my bike. Couldn't decide which picture i liked the best, so i decided to put both up.

New Project

This is how they started:



Singlespeeded:



Start of the shaping process- (the scary part):





Looks ok, doesn't it:





The polishing still has to take place properly (i did have a shot on the drive side and it came out CHROME) but the hard part is done and out the way...thankfully it came out alright. phew!

This is Probably the most interesting thread ever!

Jones bike being built

You might want to give yourself a few hours to read this one.

Mad Stunts!

In work today, Pete and I went over to an unused car park during lunch, armed with a camera and a BMX....this was the result:









I had my point & shoot with me, pretty happy with the quality of it- fits perfectly in the back pocket.

How much fun are bikes?

Is there any you can't do on a bike? I don't think so
