Just got me some boards kit thanks to LeftBlank.

I'll have to cycle laps of Dublin City Centre until I'm spotted in the boards jersey thread.

Is Lumen still alive?

Had considered a cycle tonight but the weather put a stop to that. Instead I tackled our non-draining dishwasher. After much disassembly - without huge confidence of being able to reassemble it - I discovered a chip of porcelain in the impeller of the drain motor. Once removed, I set about putting everything back together and surprised myself by managing that - didn't even have any screws left over. I surprised myself even more when the dishwasher actually worked afterwards!

Only downside is that my achievements went unnoticed by Strava.

Anyone else think it out of place that such an advert is displayed in 410?

Don't them adverts usually pop up based on what you have been searching? :eek:

Did you lie awake for ages contemplating the hour record afterwards?

Anyone else think the nights have become darker a whole lot quicker this year?

Maybe the northern latitudes of cavan are fooling me into thinking that.....

Two weeks ago it was bright at this time, now it's properly dark.

How did you know? I actually got up in the middle of the night and did the whole job a second time. This time around I used powertools & the times were excellent. Lost a bit of time on the lhs-panel removal but gained everywhere else - and I got the KOM!

Couldn't find my phone this morning. I'd left the damn thing in the dishwasher by accident and wrecked it. Strangely, this also wiped my Strava upload.

Oh, and bits of the phone are now jammed in the motor and it's no longer draining ...

At this time of year, we're loosing about 4-5 minutes of daylight per day. X 7 = 30+ minutes a week ...

That includes morning and evening. So it actually might be only half that - 15 mins - if, say, you just go out in the evenings.

Still ...

Found the link - click here to see this in a graph (Dublin). Click on the table icon on the top RHS to see the stats.

Only just realised the League Cup has new sponsors this year - Capital One

Presumably this will no longer have the tag the "Worthless Cup", as it can be re-branded the COCUP, and (duly abbreviated) we can speculate as to who will be lifting the COC in February. Liverpool fans can now dream of chanting "We'll be running round Wembley with the COC":D

Why is it only cyclists, feminists and atheists that can be militant?

And we could be seeing Man U not even getting COC yet alone anything else by next June

Having taken a tough line in the past on anti-doping matters involving Michael Rasmussen and others, the Danish Cycling Union has been put in the embarrassing position of one of its own board members testing positive.
The 47 year old Soren Svenningsen tested positive for three banned substances at a veterans’ race in June. He was the owner of the former Team Capinordic squad.

Should we bring in randomised testing at CI board meetings I wonder? :rolleyes:

Folks, does anyone have a map of the grand canal cycling lane. I know it essentially follows the canal but at points it looks like it veers off (i've not cycled all of it yet) and just wondering where it goes.

So sad, he must have written 'Harvest Moon' when he was up there too. :pac:
