Back in a week posted 2nd July 2004

As of 5 o’clock tomorrow morning, I’m off on my annual pilgrimage to Morzine for a week’s mountain biking in the French and Swiss Alps. If anyone can fix the OS 9 bug on Multimap.com while I’m gone, please email the solution to info@multimap.com and you’ll get a Gmail account and a limited edition teapot. In the meantime I intend to forget all about computers (apart from my iPod and digital camera of course) for eight whole days.

Laterz: Tomorrow lunchtime I’m off to Morzine for ten days of Alpine mountain biking, for the third year in succession. As usual I’ve multiplied the cost of the trip by getting my grubby hands on a bunch of spanking new kit: Hope Mini disc brake, Race Face riser bars and…
No Butt, don’t shoot !: It’s better than sex. Well, it’s certainly better than any sex I’ve ever had.
Sensitive scumbag: Fabulous quote from Iggy Pop.
Fatigue: Jon Webb is one of the fittest guys I’ve ridden with. On 22/23 June he decided to do the 24hr Red Bull Mountain Mayhem solo (as opposed to the usual team of four or more). That’s 24 hours non-stop mountain biking. The tiredness was beginning to totally consume me,…
