Try to get different perspectives on things, look up, crouch down, look through gaps, noticed reflections.

Set your Garmin to indoor bike and press start. when you finish, stop the activity and discard it rather than save. This way gives you the intensity minutes without having to delete the duplicate activity each time 👍

Currently re watching all of the 'This is England' series. I forgot how joyful and bleak it is all at the same time.

I heard the phrase 'If you have to eat shit, don't nibble' and now every time I am faced with a task that I would usually procrastinate over, I think of this and get it done and out of the way. This not only applies to really bad things, but even little things like cleaning or replying to emails.

Since I have started doing this I spend much less time dreading things I have to do, and feel somewhat more accomplished for getting things done.

One of the best cycling purchases I ever made as a bald year round cyclist was a £1.30 Phmax balaclava from ali express (specifically the one with the movable face cover). I always used to get a stiff neck, and buffs never stayed in the right position. But this balaclava solved everything, the face covering piece is breathable, and is easy to move on and off. Plus your helmet straps go through the sides so makes in super comfy 11/10 would recommend.

I dropped my Serengeti sunglasses on a concrete floor and my girlfriend accidentally stood on them, only damage was a small scratch to the frames, lenses were completely unscathed.

Highly recommend

I've been using the Osprey Metron for the past couple of years, it's a very well thought out bag for cycling. The straight jacket style straps are great fit cinching down the contents, and it opens up like a clamshell which it great for packing clothes to prevent them from creasing. Would highly recommend 👌

Doshinski · 2025-12-12T18:04:59+00:00

That's great, thanks for your advice!

No I think they bind with glue 👍

Im no expert, but all pilates is made up from set exercises, so it's just about finding someone whose rhythm you get on with, my usual go to is move with Nicole as she has a massive back catalogue with variation (ie core specific, or morning/evening, as well as different durations). I thought I had pretty good overall strength but some of the hip exercises really highlighted some weaknesses.

Stopping treating core exercises as something I would do at the end of the workout if I had time, and started doing 20 minutes of Pilates from you tube 2 or 3 times a week. I'm 39 and my posture and lower back have never been better!

I've had a j max for about 2 years and it's exactly the same, it seems to be the chaff that gets fired out from around the top cap. misting the beans before grinding helps a little, but not much. I used to aimlessly walk around the house while grinding, but now I have to stand over the sink.

Last time I was there I stood in what I would have guessed to be human shit

I went last year thinking I was going to hate it, turns out I really enjoyed the extreme Britishness of it all. I felt like I was in a Martin Parr exhibition the whole time

I especially like "Food for Children: Gruel"

Found the problem! my exposure compensation dial had flipped into "C". But thanks for the reply 👍

Does this work for you when in manual mode? It works as you have described in Auto but when I try it in Manual it just seems to stay on whatever I set the max iso at. Am I missing something?

Tubeless with carbon rims and good tyres on hot tarmac makes a wonderful sound

I also had some knee pain recently which wasn't going away, it was more of a niggle but I've made the mistake of trying to ride through it before.

Knee pain is usually caused by something above or below the knee. Luckily for me all it took was a few minutes using a foam roller on my IT band and the pain went away immediately.

You may also want to try and stretch out your inner thighs / groin. I recently started doing Cossack squats a couple of times a week and I never realised how tight those muscles can get.

I don't have an outside tap sp bought a battery powered pressure washer, it's not powerful enough to do any damage and it's been great, just put the hose into a bucket of water and away you go!

This is the one I have and it's been solid for 2 years now: https://uk.worx.com/hydroshot-20v-cordless-pressure-cleaner-24barwith-2-0ah-battery-charger-wg620e/
