Is it that they both want to go the same speed round the corner, but the HT would be already going that speed anyway and thus wouldn&#39;t have to brake?</p> <p>In motor racing if you don&#39;t have to brake for a corner, then you weren&#39;t going fast enough on the straight, could the same not be said of this...?</p> <p>Not really sure I&#39;ve ever been bothered by them or noticed them, I probably have, but haven&#39;t recognised it as one or thought &#39;ooh there&#39;s a braking bump how annoying&#39;. Are they on the north loop of whinlatter, the one with the jumps?</p> <p>If they do cause a problem there is surely a way of designing the trail such that they don&#39;t form. I can&#39;t see how there can possibly be any at penmachno for instance. </p> http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bike-dilemma-3#post-1779122 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:16:59 +0000 MrNutt 1779122@http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>St4? </p> http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/nhs-diabetes#post-1779121 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:16:54 +0000 roblerner 1779121@http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>As above - treatment for type 1 diabetes (i.e. insulin) has barely changed over the years, only the method of administration.

You can just park up wherever you feel like, not have to worry about mucking about with tents and that really, and have a mini hotel sort of thing. Yeah, I can see the appeal. I spose you can stay in more remote locations than you might find a hotel in. And it would be warmer than a tent, in colder months. And if you or a family member/friend had any particular health/mobility issues, then it makes camping actually possible. Yeah, that makes sense to me. </p> <p>I think most folk would agree it&#39;s a lot of money, mind! But fair enough if that&#39;s what you want to do. We&#39;re all different.
