If You Show Off the Milk, Who's Gonna Buy the Cow?

Have you heard of this band? Discovered them yesterday, and they seem pretty awesome. Bit like Mogwai post rocky outfit form Norway. And they have the best band name of all time, The Samuel Jackson 5! and my current favourite song is titled 'if you show off the milk who is gonna buy the cow?' check out their website for tracks

End of Season blues

Apologies of lack of posts of late, just returned from much needed break in the sunshine. Ibiza countryside to be precise, highlight included a spot of mountain biking, haven't touched a mountain bike since i was about 16, but really enjoyed it. Terrain was super technical, very rocky, sandy, but enjoyed it, its thrown me a little bit i was all set to get a CX bike next year but may change for mountain bike and enjoy riding off road once more. In other news i'm pretty blue the season is over to be honest. That said i do love autumn/winter gear, time to get as many miles in before xmas and reunite my love affair with defeet. Season summary: My odometer is reading 2500km since beginning of year, not including commuting or turbo sessions, i've gone through two helmets, two sets of glasses lost, and one arm warmer torn to shreads. Highlight was obviously the étape but only in hindsight not at the time. also really enjoyed the club time trial, wanna do more of that next year, seeing chris froome nail his tt's for the most part this year, inspired me that you can be a climber and fast. Philippe Gilbert (one of my favourite riders to watch) is world champion! Embrocation and turbo sessions are just round the corner, time start planning next years goals.
