The New Orange…
Just been out for a couple of hours (i seem to be coming down with a cold but couldn’t resist a ride) to see what it was like…… IT IS BLOODY FAST!!! ;p Massively capable and chuckable, with the forks wound down it’s like a portly Xc bike up hill… If it doesn’t put me in A&E this year I won’t have been trying hard enough ;]
Pics very soon.
Food followers off this blog will also be keen to know that we have Mutton in the oven here, (7.5 pounds for £20.00!) That’s been Marinated in red wine, olive oil, garlic, rosemary red onions and smoked Paprika, it’s currently in at 110 for six hours…. The smell off it raw is quiet disconcerting, very strong uric acid over tones, with a kind off gamey-ness in the background.
Were having roast potatoes (my choice of mashed Celeriac was vetoed) Savoy cabbage, baked carrots and Leeks with cheese sauce with it
I’ll let you know what it’s like.
UPDATE
The Mutton was very good. Has also been a curry and there’s still some left for a casserole, I though have spent the last two days in bed with a cold/strong urge to vomit! ;[ I have caught up on some (re)reading though. Larry Niven’s Ringworld, which is great ‘hard science” Sci fi, although it has led to strange dreams….

I’ve been oddly ill all weekend too Matt. Just felt run down and chesty, but without the cough. Haven’t ridden more than a couple of miles all weekend… Oh well, a bit of rest and red wine should cure me…

I had that a couple of weeks ago, laid up in bed with the strange dreams, you just think you’re better then it hits you again - took me a week to get over it.
