I used up a set of brake pads too!

Just been down the dirt jumps for a couple of hours and got caught in a hail storm again! Bloody December, anyone would think it was winter...

My rear brakes are about gone too, not sure if its the pads or something else, need to have a play to try and sort them.

I've not looked at my bike since the ride. It's probably about as broken as it normally is.

Can't wait for the vid..

Whilst watching/stood next to pook filming in recording range I said of Sam 'he's like Sam Hill, look he's doing the DH-face'
And
Yellow orange5....'He looks like he's been on holiday recently, either that or its jaundice'.

It's funny you should mention that lol... I literally just got back from Sri Lanka, but I was ill and craping out of the eye of a needle for the entire trip and I saw a rat in a restaurant while I was there, so I could have weils disease a side effect of which is jaundice. So could be either...

Amazed by the Enduro. First ride from the previous nights build (cough cutting corners), popped 30psi in less than recommended and it felt good. Can't see the vid yet- how bad am I? Don't forget we had the wind and rain into our eyes!

I think you'll find it's called finesse 😉

What !! We suffered for our cause for hours in that proper grim weather and we only get a short one 😛 All credit where it's due for that Chris, I couldn't even undo the zips on my bag to get my camera out, definitely Winter gloves for next time 😯
Thanks very much for that, much appreciated 😛

On that first climb when the rain suddenly came in I thought to myself 'I'm shattered/cant do this and might bale'.... Only to continue 😆

We 'just' missed Cy and his merry band of Cotic fans who turned left onto the road as we got to the bottom of Hagg farm

It's a good job I know you Chris 😛
Here we go. This should give you about 16 -18 of the same size we had on Saturday 😆

250g Mexican cheddar( from Morrisons, Tesco ) the stuff with peppers and chili in.

8 Spring Onions finely chopped.

50g Walnuts, finely chopped.

200g Plain flour.

2 or 3 Tsp of Dijon mustard. (according to your own taste )

100g butter, well softened.

Pre-heat oven to 190 c gas 5.
Grate the cheese into a bowl.Thinly slice the onions,chop the walnuts and stir into the cheese. Stir in the flour and mustard.

Melt the butter, add to the bowl and knead together until well blended.

Shape into shapes slightly bigger than a golf ball,then flatten out to about 10 - 15 mm thick.

Bake for about 15 mins until golden brown.

Leave to cool on the tray for a couple of mins.

Devour quickly 😛 or

Transfer to a wire to cool properly, then...^^^^

Enjoy often 😛 They work well when dunked in the soup of your choice also.
