Rural Bicycle is an amazing website.

Ha.

Pete and Tom are out of action so things have gone quiet at the trails. Riding on your own is not the best. Paul said Rob was at the skatepark last night too. Skatepark? Up to him I guess!

Digital BMX has some good pictures, but its better if you click here so you can see the whole picture.

Please don’t steal a motorbike, but if you must, please wear a helmet.

Tom fell off on the line of death last night. His ankle was growing as you watched it. Apparently it’s “only” sprained. Hope it gets better soon.

This weekend we found a very big Spider. I wonder if they are like dinosaurs and they never stop growing if its warm. Been to the trails a lot recently. Some people are diggers and some people are lazy. Pete does his x-ups the wrong way. His big clumpy shoes get in the way. At lunch times I go and ride my bike behind the building. If I don’t ride my bike at lunchtime then I go and cut wood for my wood pile. Thanks to Mark and Liam for the extra wood. I cut through this big log with a bow saw. It took about half an hour. This weekend a squirrel attacked our bird feeder and chewed it up to get the nuts out.
There are more pictures in the photography section.

Joey’s sold for twenty eight thousand pounds. Pretty unbelievable amount.

I am going to dig at my old jumps on Thursday. They are pretty dry so it should be possible to get some things riding. There’s not any major digging to do, just weeding and tidying some bits up. If you know where the jumps are then come down. Could be a fun evening.

It’s been so nice this weekend, just having fun in the sun. I have ridden 3 sets of trails and been on as many walks. Badminton is fun too.

The KM is going to Joey’s Wood tomorrow at 12 O’clock to take some photos. They want to do an article on the trails and how KCC have messed everyone around. The more people there the better really.

I played football at lunchtime today for the first time in ages. It was pretty fun. Before I was into riding I was into the guitar and before that I was into football. I guess I have a pretty obsessive personality. I was thinking it would be interesting to know what other people did before they rode. Write it in the book.

Shaun Williamson .com has to be one of the funniest websites in the universe.

At this time of year lots of new faces start to appear at the woods. Without fail you can predict that people who have been at the skatepark all winter will suddenly appear that the jumps with their bikes and a sheepish look on their face, ready to ride your, still slightly soft, jumps. I don’t have any objection to sharing my hard work with people who are prepared to pick up a shovel when its wet and lend a hand, especially if they have the initative and motivation to build their own trails. Sharing something makes it more fun. I don’t have a problem with people coming down to watch or chat. But am I the only one who thinks that it is incredibly rude for people to turn up at the jumps who have never so much as lifted a shovel and expect to ride? Am I just being a trail Nazi about this?

What is it with bands whose names begin with K? The Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, The Klaxons. What is their obsession with making horrible ugly shouty music. And the “lyrics”. Look at the words to “Golden Skans” by The Klaxons. When I hear this on the radio I have no way of telling what on earth they are saying. It’s impossible to make the words out. Then when I found out I couldn’t believe what drivel it was. How has music this bad become so popular? I can see nothing good in it.

Series 4 of Peep Show is due to begin on Friday 13th April at 10:30pm, on Channel Four..

A rabbit. A jump.
