Probably a mistake

Posting this is probably a mistake, but it is genius.

Line Rider

I may never work again...

Wet, wet, wet

Got my first soaking of the season on the way to work today. My arse has almost dried out now. A reminder to get my act together and sort the bike out for winter (full-length mudguards and skinny tyres), and to keep spare pants and trousers at work.

A relative?

The latest guest on Webcameron is John Timoney, Miami police chief. The surname being so close to mine must mean he's a relative somehow, surely? Anyone see a resemblance?

Darlington Bike Commute Video

I videoed my ride to work this morning. The quality's appaling, but if David "Dave" Cameron's videoblogging, I should too!

Solitude SSUK Prize Frame

It's here!

The blue's a bit darker and less glittery in real life, but probably even lovelier; though Alex says it's different in sunlight. It balances perfectly on a finger under the top tube just in front of the seat tube, and makes a lovely tinging noise when flicked.

Just need to find the cash to build it up now. What's the going rate for kidneys?

September Biking

I don’t have a bike computer or GPS, so I have to either guess distances, trust the distance given for an event or measure it up on a map or Gmap-pedometer.

So, I think my September total is about 275 miles, made up of:

• Hell O’ The North = 105 miles (road)


• 19 days commuting = 19×5 = 95 miles (road)


• 5 trips to another school to teach = 5 x 9 = 45 miles (road)


• Great Milk Stout Ride (pics) = 21 miles (off-road)


• plus another couple of trips = 10 miles (road)
