Gemmill 46030 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 yeah Whitburn is nice. Seaburn not so much, and before you know it your in shitsville. Been getting out on my bike a bit along the Tyne in the bits you're on about. Is it Newburn? Then Wylam, along to Corbridge etc, and you're right it would be a nice place to live along there.

Christmas Tree 4827 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I lived in South Shields mostly, but Whitburn for about a year. We moved into this nice house on the seafront and within 6 months my mam and dad were getting divorced. Sounds like it saved me from a mackem accent! Although I subsequently lived in Sunderland and avoided one. Was going to school in Newcastle the whole time, which probably helped.

Gemmill 46030 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not posh, but fortunate yeah. There were plenty there that were posh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than welcome to join us on our charity bike ride in May/June. I'll be completely fucked from next week till January, nee exaggeration, I'll be like half the depressed cunts that used to come on Newcastle Online. I won't be well, but my strength will come back next year. We're doing a big charity bike ride. Toon-Willington Quay Crossing-South Shields-Sunderland(spitting on the ground lots)-Chester Le Street-Stanley-Consett-Hexham-Wylam(sponsored pint and celebration)-Toon. It's about 85 miles. At the peak of my fitness I used to do it four and five times a year. Takes me ages 8-9hours but you get such a buzz from achieving it. Going to try and raise money and get loads of people to do it.

Gemmill 46030 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Aye I'd be up for that definitely, cheers! Sounds like a monster. I did the great north bike ride a few weeks back which was 57 mile so should be able to build up to another 30 between now and then. As the details get sorted, let me know, but definitely stick me on the list cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'd be tempted to have a go as well. I don't cycle mind but I run - how different is it? If I can run say 5 mile comfortably - how much harder would 80 on a bike be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43067 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 As a compromise, Stevie, why not move halfway between South Shields and Wylam? Sort of in the neighbourhood of , ooh, Waterloo St area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean 85 mile is a canny bit of a bigger ask than 5 mile, so you'd need to have done some working up to it I would say, but it's not beyond anyone with a bit of fitness in them.

trophyshy 7084 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Cycling is good training for running, running is not good training for cycling. At least that's what some cath told me before I threw up my lungs doing the GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I mentioned a job dilemma a couple of months ago (in fact it was June) which in the end turned into a double pisser - contract disappeared and I had two more interviews at Barclays down to the last two people before getting overlooked. I've had a few interviews since then including one which was just awaiting the HR stage which is usually a rubber stamp which then went on indefinite hold. Money has been running out and October was going to be the last month I could afford all the DDs before I'd have to start selling stuff etc. Anyway fuck all that - I've just accepted a job offer starting next week - thank the fucking Lord.
