Is that your best price?

No, of course it isn't. I'm just telling you that for the fun of it.

So glad there's only a day and a half left before some time off...

Designed by committee...

Drain bungs which have a nice looking fish design for the handle, but snap off really easily and are then stuck until you arse about with a screw driver?





At least the new one looks nice...

Warwick Circuit Races

The BCF Circuit Races were held in Warwick this weekend, so I went to watch.
Unicycle racing was a sight to behold, and the Elite mens race massively impressive; given the speed, width (or lack of) of the course, and number of riders.

Unicycle racing....

Elite men

and again

Tight course, with kerbs, scaffolding and lots of other bits for people to clip

Some of the many many wheels lining the course, along with bikes, rollers and groupies

Better than watching TV any day...

Kanumesse

We went to Kanumesse; it was a couple of quite intense and long days, but really good to see everyone, look at loads of cool products, and have some beers.
The plane was late, we couldn't find any food, so we did what kayak retailers worldwide do in such a situation.
Fluid and Palm continuing a theme that ran through the show...

After a late night drive back from Stanstead, I finally got to follow the instructions printed on a kayak...

8 more days at work 'til I go on holiday

Friday night ride...

Perhaps having to cut back on paddling for a little while isn't quite as bad as I thought....

Ouch

This made two of my toes bleed;

and made a huge cracking noise. Boat is still stiff as a stiff thing though.
