Well - the 3rd running of the BMORC bash is on. Bring out your clunkers and lets RIDE! Get scabbing around the mountains in the council clean-up and get yourself a stunning rig for the Bash.
Remember - guidelines are:

2) No disc brakes.
3) You have to carry it out with you even if it is stuffed.
4) All stacks are your own fault for riding such a heap of S*&t
5) No clipless pedals (unless the bike came with them originally)
6) Must be prepared to have an embarrassing photo taken.

Do Rigid forks compromise the frame?
If I put rigid forks on my alloy frame would they compromise the frame?
Assuming the frame is already prone to fatigue failure and is designed to take the load of conventional forks.
Is there something about the nature of rigid forks I need to worry about?

WSMTB 4hr round #2
Round 2 of the WSMTB 4hr summer series was gearing up to be a good one with probably 3-4x more riders than the 1st round.
Last round I went out too hard and suffered towards the end.
The plan for this race was to get a good start then ease off through the middle and hopefully finish strong. The plan fell to pieces in the first 50m getting stuck in the bottle neck and riding the 1st section below walking pace. It took 2 full laps to actually get any clear air and be able to ride at my own pace. I definitely need to get further up the front for the start I think.
My biggest bubble yet / Bubble Theory
Yesterday I had planned for a post work ride locally to my work. My bike had been left in the car all day but the windows had been down. I opened my boot and to my shock saw my biggest bubble yet! Not sure if the cause was related to a previous self sealing puncture or the heat. Not having a spare tread I figured I would try putting in a tube so I could still do my ride. I deflated the wheel and the bubble held shape. I'm now of belief that the bubble was caused by a previous self repaired puncture, air has slipped into the layers of the tyre and then sealing the inner layer.
North Abbotsbury Ridge Firetrail
North Abbotsbury Ridge Firetrail is located on Calmsley Hill City Farm (Formerly Fairfield City Farm) which is Private property. Unfortuantly this firetrail is a no go.
The New Lizard Log to Dairy Cyclepath
Last time I was here this path wasn't.
