Got a six hour ride tomorrow guessing something between 60 and 90km, it's my only way of measuring my speed and time etc now I don't use my Cateye wired computer.

Any tips on making it last that long. Turn off blue tooth, make it go into do not disturb mode, isn't there a setting somewhere where you can tell it to stop looking for a ntewrok...seem to rememeber someone telling me to do that as down in cornwall land, batteries die quicker as they're constabntly searching for o2.

I have always seen local elections as diferent to national ones, you want the best person to run your local government, and you vote on local issues.
So why vote UKIP for local elections, are they going to take west oxfordshire out of europe?
it seems a strange protest vote, because if a local council is UKIP they will only have local issues, so should they refuse all local improvment schemes paid for by europe money?
refuse to house europeans in social housing,
Perosnally i am very confused by UKIPS political aims and policys, as they can promise what ever they want and people seem to believe them. ]]> Soapbox serge the seal of death http://forums.bikemagic.com/showthread.php/108438-UKIP-in-local-elections-WHY Singular Cycles http://forums.bikemagic.com/showthread.php/108430-Singular-Cycles?goto=newpost Thu, 02 May 2013 14:42:08 GMT Are they still going, looks like their main page has become a male enhancement product page.

Bullshit will you I say...

I have two accounts one of which I believe has an overdraft facility of £500 and I tend to pay myself around a grand a month into it.

Anybody know any 'good' bank accounts, that don't charge for the use of an overdraft facility. ]]> Soapbox BHB 10.6.6 http://forums.bikemagic.com/showthread.php/108419-What-Bank-Account-Contains-incredibly-boring-topic Wacom Bamboo Pen Graphics tablet... http://forums.bikemagic.com/showthread.php/108417-Wacom-Bamboo-Pen-Graphics-tablet?goto=newpost Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:12:26 GMT Anyone want one?
