Reminds me of one I had in the Lake District (UK) where I was bombing downhill went round a corner and there was what I can only describe as a 2 foot by 3 foot rut in the track where water had eaten the track away...cue impromptu superman impression head first onto large ominous looking boulder handily placed after the corner, some metres away. Fortunately, like you I'm an extremely tough guy and able to take such punishment* and I was able to continue. What was more fortunate though was that I had bought my first bike helmet two weeks previous which definetly saved my brain from splattering all over the trail. Like the site, looks really good. Have you noticed that if you click in the white space to the right underneath the ad's you get taken to the home page? Seem's a little unusual and I think I spotted in your page where the problem is...just wondered if you'd spotted it. Keep up the excellent blogging. * This may or may not be factually accurate.

In XP/Opera 9.25 the two scroll-down menus (Blogroll and Top Posts) are rolled down having style of a normal link, so it is really difficult to read the first paragraphs. It seems like the nested li tags are causing it. BTW: The W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org) was less than satisfied too. The new design is OK except one little thing.

Also like the way your friend kept taking photos in your time of need! Wish mine would do the same, I don't have any after shots.. only the before ones!

Just to add a comment to the whole drive-chain-wear-on-small-cogs debate, thing to remember is that this is only relevant on single speeders - sticking a derailleur in the way adds far more friction than either of the drive cogs will. Love the comment about the guy with two chainwheels! Whilst i still have my anorak on…

Probably in response to the absolutlely wretched weather we had last year. So I might flog that a bit earlier this year.... But not until after the bloggies.

Fatty, I <i>really, really</i> like the currect pic. But I will try to remember to send you something if I take an interesting shot. Somewhere I have a ground-level shot of a pelo entering a hard off-camber turn in a crit, with one rider bouncing up over a poorly place water meter cover... BTW, What is the appropriate format that will work for an HREF on the new site software? I was going to make another nerdy comment about gear ratios and such, but I bored myself and erased the post.
