I might have written about this in the Loros recap but I intended to do a 100km ride at over 25kmh average speed shortly after the big Loros ride. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up not doing that very quickly. After the Loros ride I ended up getting a mild injury on the back of my leg (from bending do…
I install Trackmania United Forever through Steam, though most of this works via Wine with the correct Wine Prefix stuff set (can't remember how I did that, might update later)
I use Proton 9, though the latest has been working best since Proton 7.
The launch parameters are PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n…
Just to be the enby who rode 200km just for the shits and giggles of it!
So I did this last year, but never wrote about it, and enjoyed it so much I decided to do it again this year. Each year Loros organises the Leiceste…
For a whule I've kinda wanted a scooter, and recently one presented itself to me! The reason I've wanted a scooter is they're a perfect mix between BMX, which I love, but don't ride enough because when I ride it it just makes me want to ride at the dirt jumps, and skateboards, which I don't ride enough because I'm too scared to learn to drop in …
I've been riding a hell of a lot at the Rothley Bike Track this year, it's been great, and I've been getting much better at my tricks and getting so many good flow lines. On top of that, it made me better at riding too! I'm riding the most powerfully I've ever ridden, which is amazing! More time on the bike is always better.
For proof, he…
Chapeau ITV, Chapeau Le Tour de France.
I'm writing this while watching the final 45 minutes of the T…
This is a race that I love dearly, a local based big race. For the mens it's a 1.2 UCI race, the only UCI 1 day in the UK for the past 20 years. For the women it's the start of the National Road Series, and a National A where all the best domestic racers are out at. Topping all that off, as if it wasn't enough, it…
An audax I should have written about last year when I first did it, but I didn't so here we are back again! Last year it was raining, and there were many floods, this year it was snowing to start, and freezing cold! Always a good test of kit then.
I decided to do this again pretty much righ…
We weren't sure if this ride was going ahead this week, the rain was forecast as "likely but light" and it was on the edge of cold. Of course I jinxed it with last weeks post! Still, I decided to go because I needed miles anyway, if anyone else turned up I'd…
The final post of Project Postie didn't come out as I really wanted, and that's weighed on me since. I just wanted to get the thing finished, so didn't take good pictures as I did it, and I didn't take any proper pictures after. Well, I now have that same Grandad's camera (very posh one), and have r…
