savour the ambience

i'd imagine that very few of you will be familiar with the 'amen break', allegedly the most sampled drum break in the history of contemporary music. the 'amen break' is a mere four bars, or seven seconds in length, performed by drummer gregory coleman and got its name from the song ('amen brother') of which it forms a small, but important part. intriguingly, the song, released in 1969 by soul group the winstons, was the b-side of their single 'color him father'. it wasn't a record that troubled the hit parade much, but with the rise of hip-hop, drum and bass and jungle, those seven seconds of drumming became the holy grail for the sampling brigade.

in 2011, the bbc even broadcast an hour long documentary about the amen break, yet the winston's leader, richard spencer, who owns the song copyright, has received nothing by way of royalties from any of those samples. neither, come to that, has drummer, gregory coleman. but trawl through youtube (to save you time, i've appended a link to the end of this article) and you can find a loop of the amen break, lasting ten hours. needless to say, even as a drummer, i figured you could have too much of a good thing and 600 minutes of a seven second drum break seemed to fit that description perfectly. if my calculations are correct, those ten hours will repeat the four bars of percussive royalty 416.5 thousand times.

yet clicking the play button and letting it run while getting on with far less important tasks, isn't as utterly pointless as you might think. the repetition of hi-hat, snare and bass drum soon verges on the meditative, though depending on your musical proclivities, your mileage may vary.

though i have no wish to confirm your suspicions that i live my life vicariously through the pixels of youtube, in order to pass the time early on a saturday morning, waiting patiently for the post van to arrive and collect the boxes of newspapers, i tend to click over to this insidious video channel and take a look at the delights on offer. doing so yesterday morning, i happened upon several hours of tibetan meditation music, to which one might either meditate, or simply relax, allowing the synthesiser wash of sounds enter every pore of your being, arising many minutes later, chilled beyond belief, ready to wrest the bicycle from the bike shed for a handful of kilometres.

you will perhaps respect my restraint in not pointing out that tibetan monks are not renowned for their moog programming skills.

it scarcely occurred to me at the time, that cycle racing, which procycling magazine describes as 'the world's toughest sport', could also form a part of this ambient wallpaper, designed to improve our mental wellbeing and, perchance, lower an already impressive resting heart-rate. yet it seems that eurosport, 'the home of cycling' is already several steps ahead in such matters. ignoring the fact that they, once again, have altered their online player, inserting one of those dreaded captcha security checks to prove that i'm not a robot (does anyone know if robots actually watch eurosport?), on checking in to watch saturday's coverage of the tour of lombardy, i was presented with two options. one was the standard fare with commentary and interminable adverts, while the other promised 'ambient sound'. disappointingly, this was not the addition of a brian eno soundtrack, but, almost as good, sported simply the racing accompanied by the sounds of the motorbikes, the whir of chainrings and the applause of the spectators. nary an advert was to be seen and not a commentator to be heard.

ambient bliss.

no disrespect intended, however, to eurosport commentator/pundit, brian smith, who is undoubtedly scottish ambience personified.

ten hours of the amen break

a tall story

the principal thrust of the following discussion has, of necessity, to begin with a humorous anecdote; in the real world, it would probably be referred to as a joke.

a non-too bright individual is employed by bt openreach as a labourer. the first job the foreman requires him to undertake is to measure the height of each of a pile of telegraph poles lying in the yard. the foreman heads out to take care of other matters, returning just before lunch to check on the new employee's progress, only to find him with a single wooden pole leaning against the side of the building. the fellow is atop a set of ladders, holding one end of a measuring tape.

he shouts up, enquiring as to what he thinks he's doing. the reply is that he is doing exactly what he was asked to do; measuring the height of the telegraph pole. mystified, the foreman asks why he didn't simply measure the poles where they lay in the corner of the yard. "but you said you wanted the height, not the length", came the quizzical reply.

hopefully the above is not derived from fact, but the point is probably well made, possibly sourced from the knowledge that one man's floor is another man's ceiling. it is, in essence, akin to the zen buddhist koan "where does my lap go when i stand up?", all resting on human imposed nomenclature that really only applies in a singular state. for instance, i know of no cyclists who would relate to feeling pain in their lap, when climbing a steep gradient. at that point, we'd be more likely to employ the term 'thighs'.

we are currently set similar linguistic conundrums when referring to the constituent parts of the modern bicycle frame. with aluminium and steel occupying niche markets, the bulk of today's bicycles, ranging from low cost to astronomical, are produced in the far east in particularly costly molds. carbon pre-preg matting is laid strategically in each side of the molds, which, when fully cured, can be joined together to form the infamous double-diamond construct that we all know and love. but, without putting too fine a point on it, referring to each carbon plane as a tube is perhaps, technically, incorrect.

it's a quandary i come across every time i review a non-metal bicycle. since a carbon monocoque frame is, essentially, a one-piece construction, there really is no end to one tube and the start of another. for simplicity's sake, i, and the manufacturers' sizing-charts, still refer to a seat-tube height, and top-tube length, entirely in respect of convention. we all need to know that the bicycle we're possibly about to purchase will not be an expensive mistake, when it turns out that we need step-ladders to climb aboard an oversize bicycle, or repeatedly hit chins with knees when it transpires we bought too small. but it's still conventional to refer to those parts of the frame as tubes; to be honest, i wouldn't know how else to describe them.

but our understanding of conventional measurements or descriptions has now received a further slap in the face, due to the incumbency of indoor, virtual cycling. i recently remarked on twitter, in reply to a hot chillee posting about an upcoming virtual training session on zwift, that this may be the end of the world as we know it. though there's a certain amount of sincerity contained within that ostensibly humorous retort, it would be a naive individual to bet against there being a virtual london-paris ride in the not too distant future, even though so doing would surely threaten the very point of the ride in the first place.

however, on pursuing this further, by way of the hot chillee website, it is possible to peruse this week's leader board on the associated strava page, with concomitant justifying data. this display includes the riders'names, number of rides, average speed, elevation gain and total distance. all well and good, except that, throughout the acquisition of their individual placings, none of them have actually travelled anywhere at all, nor departed from the height above sea-level level at which they commenced. in strict adherence to the definition of the words, it is clearly impossible to have travelled a smidgeon under 600km while remaining stationary and ascended nearly 12,000 metres, while affixed to an indoor turbo trainer, smart or otherwise.

quite literally, words fail me.

history repeating itself

it will surprise you not that one of the magazines i collect monthly from the newsagent's, is america's modern drummer. though i find myself particularly displeased with them, partly over their lack of reply to my singular communications, my principal moan centres around a complete lack of a feature on raising sand and 'god willin' and the creek don't rise' drummer, jay bellerose. over five years ago, i e-mailed to enquire whether there was any likelihood of the chap being featured in the ever diminishing pagination of the magazine, at which time i was informed they had their collective eye upon him, just waiting for a suitable opportunity for a feature.

five years later, and nothing. i have tactfully e-mailed every year since, asking whether it's going to happen anytime soon, but not entirely unsurprisingly, they never reply. thankfully, drumhead magazine recently published a very fine interview with mr bellerose, a copy of which i managed to purchase online. however, with the demise of every uk percussion magazine sealed when rhythm magazine ceased production early this year, the serious amateur has need of gaining inspiration from somewhere, even if it is from across the pond.

given the time delay between usa publication and its arrival at my local newsagent, the issue i'm currently reading is pretty much one month out of date. however, the central issue under discussion in its pages is that of the 1960s and the drummers that formed a major part of the music scene at that time. among features on santana drummer, michael shrieve, and ringo's natural maple ludwig kit, there is an excellent tribute to session great, hal blaine. as the mainstay of a group of session players known as 'the wrecking crew' blaine is reckoned to have played on over 3,500 records, most of them chart hits. it's interesting to note which noted band drummers of the era were deemed insufficiently capable of playing on many hit recordings, replaced by hal blaine at the request of the producer.

aside from tributes worded by many of today's percussive greats (blaine died earlier this year), a brief interview elicits that the 1969 hit dizzy by tommy roe, featured drumming by blaine, notable for one or two 'hooks' that helped turn the song into a number one hit on both sides of the atlantic. sad to say, i was in my early teens when the record was being played on the radio, but i had to go and listen once again to learn of the drumming 'ticks' that would inevitably have passed me by at the time. this, predictably enough, led to auditioning other songs from the era, to experience the differences between drumming, then and now.

one other magazine that i have reserved on a monthly basis from the selfsame newsagent, is ed pickering's excellent procycling, which proudly proclaims on the cover 'inside the world's toughest sport'. this magazine makes no pretence of being anything other than a compendium of articles and features concerning the professional peloton, both male and female, analysing recent races and the participating riders. but punctuating those commentaries, are pieces concerning riders and races from cycling's rich heritage. oddly enough, those are the articles i tend to read first, particularly when, as in the current issue, one is written by the inimitable herbie sykes.

i would dearly love to write as well as herbie does, particularly when his subject is the late, lamented felice gimondi.

it does concern me slightly that, in an issue paying close attention to vuelta winner, primoz roglic, including his state of the art and eccentrically decorated bianchi oltre xr4, along with more than a passing mention of cannondale's super-six and garmin's edge 530, it is herbie's testament to gimondi and will fotheringham's look at the career of joop zoetemelk that held my attention.

of course, the success of any publication is encapsulated in its ability to appeal to more than just a narrow audience, something that procycling has long been a master of. however, part of me wonders if, in fifty years time, will whoever is writing the equivalent of thewashingmachinepost, delight in reading about chris froome and alberto contador. because, let's face it, neither of them will appear in black and white.

unreliable weather

because i spend most of my day sitting in an ergonomically designed chair, staring intently at an admittedly large screen imac, i am in the habit of taking a two kilometre walk each morning after breakfast. though it doesn't exorcise all the creaks and groans from the daily grind, i'm of a mind that it ameliorates the worst of them. the difficult part of that equation, is making myself aware of the wind direction prior to heading out the back door; a failure to do so, inevitably means that the blue sky seen from the kitchen window may be about to be obliterated by a thunderous shower approaching unseen from the opposite direction. it's a situation that has occurred on more occasions than i feel it is safe to admit.

yesterday morning, however, i was able to leave the showers pass waterproofs in the porch and trammel those kilometres unfettered by calculated breathability. highly pleased with myself, i subsequently toddled off to the office to face apple's mojave operating system, with its soothing dark mode. i had but awoken it from sleep before the office window announced its external suffering from torrential rain, a heavy shower that persisted for longer than i'd have hoped, despite being safely and cosily ensconced indoors.

though there is evidence of greater localised flooding around the island than was the case less than a decade ago, it is not a subject that has benefited from joined-up thinking. several years ago, accessibility legislation demanded that the pavement kerb just outside the office door be lowered to allow pedstrians to cross more easily from the opposite side of the road. unfortunately, there is a drain sited just where that dip in the kerb now appears, a drain that frequently overflows during heavy rain showers such as that described above. previously, that overflow would follow the curve of the kerb and flow speedily down main street. now, however, it simply runs down the pavement, creating a fast flowing river and making life difficult for pedestrians of the village.

of course, that's not strictly speaking a problem that affects the intrepid velocipedinist, but it is a problem that's probably about to fade into the background for longer than i'd prefer. the happenstance that is likely to encourage this change in meteorological fortunes is yesterday's arrival of a waterproof jacket for review. should you require concrete evidence for this supposition, just take a chronological look at the accompanying illustrations. this particular week, i will occupy said office until at least friday lunchtime.

note that the accompanying weather forecasts, gleaned from xc weather, show islay to be a tad breezy and wet all at the same time, until, (you've guessed it) friday afternoon. on saturday, traditionally the day when i can let loose on the bicycle, it looks positively balmy, with winds considerably less than 20mph. there's a smattering of rain on an overcast sunday, but by then the wind speed has dropped below 10mph. and all because a state-of-the-art waterproof jacket arrived in the mail.

if ever there were confirmation of chaos theory, this is surely it. my colleagues have pressed for me to more frequently request waterproof jackets for review.

thursday 10 october 2019

on my first visit to portland town, some ten years ago now, the very nice people at chris king were kind enough to lend me an early model of their now sadly defunct cielo hand-built bicycle. this kindness extended to fitting a campagnolo chorus groupset, having been unintentionally made aware of my preference for italian gearing. it was several years later that they announced a campagnolo combatible cassette hub, so that fitted to my 'loaner' was apparently sourced from shimano's dura-ace range. this information i discovered only when handing the cielo back at the end of the week; according to the engineers at ck, when the number of sprockets reached ten in number, to be honest, there was very little difference in spacing between japan and italy.

at the beginning of my week-long visit, i stayed with friends, but there were two days during that week when it became more practical and convenient to take a room in an hotel. this led to a few fraught moments of concern, when i became perturbed over where the bicycle would be stored while i slept soundly in the enormous bed occupying my room.

as something of a revelation at the time, everyone around me assured me that the hotel would be quite happy for me to simply keep the bicycle in my room. if this seems a perfectly normal state of affairs to some of you, try doing the same thing in a uk travelodge or premier inn. i'm sure the word 'yes' would not be one included in the conversation. so, despite my misgivings, the metallic blue cielo spent the evening leaning against the wall next to that enormous bed mentioned above.

the tricky part, born of a traditional scottish upbringing, was the onset of rain the following afternoon, meaning i returned to the hotel at tea-time astride a very wet bicycle displaying a propensity to dribble muddy water across any surface within tyre distance. in this case, that included the hotel lobby. plainly, the hotel had no direct policies against misguided foreign guests taking their bicycles into the bedroom, but i figured doing so with a dripping wet velocipede, quite probably crossed a hitherto uncrossed line. i therefore crept into the lobby while the receptionist was otherwise engaged, but as i soft shoe shuffled towards the elevator, she looked up in my direction, commented on the inclemency of the weather and returned to the task in hand.

job done.

i cannot deny that i was impressed by the hotel's leniency in such matters, conditions that i'm sure were not being solely applied to yours truly. and since you ask, i did enquire of one or two glasgow and edinburgh hotels whether they would have been happy to extend the same graciousness in the face of dripping adversity. the answers were considerably less positive than those offered by the red lion hotel in portland. despite this scottish negativity, i now wonder whether i am selling myself short in my hebridean dwelling?

i have frequently mentioned the delights of the ramshackle bike shed in the back garden, one which is in sore need of some tender loving care and a liberal coating of wood preservative. however, it still fulfils its sole function as repository for more bicycles than any cyclist can reasonably be expected to pedal at one time. however, the weather has recently shown its more autumnal colours, with the forecast for the week ahead projecting 60kph winds for at least another 48 hours, not to mention intermittent heavy rain whenever stepping outside the front door.

with no electrical power avaialble within the shed's four approximated walls, those bicycles are unlikely to have the warmest of evenings between now and next easter. so might it be a wizard wheeze to impress upon mrs washingmachinepost, a perceived need to store at least three of those bicycles in the much cosier and plush surroundings of the master bedroom? obviously enough, she'll have to be a bit more careful if nipping to the loo during the hours of darkness, but we all have to make sacrifices.

my only fear is that, if this doesn't all go to plan, it could be me who ends up sleeping in the bike shed.

why aren't we more like the belgians?

rapha today announced their collaboration with long-time waterproofing/breathability experts, gore-tex though, to be honest that's more or less incidental to the following discourse, which, not entirely unnaturally, was inspired by the weekend's serious level of rainfall. with autumn having officially commenced last week, the seasonal norm would dictate that the climate is hardly like to improve much over the next six months, though as i write, i realise that this viewpoint depends greatly upon your own point of view.

personally, i am more than welcoming of these end of year seasonal variations, which i am fervently hoping is the result of having lived on the outer-edge for three decades, rather than some personality abnormality. though getting dressed for the sunday morning ride takes a smidgeon longer than usual - bibtights and overshoes will always take longer than shorts and track mitts - there's that intangible feeling of robustness when clad in a waterproof jacket. and as i have pointed out on many a previous occasion, ultimately, we're only going round in circles, before we head home for a warm shower and a change of clothes.

i'm more than willing to admit that my appreciation of a rainy day might take on a different hue were i to have a daily commute to undertake.

however, though a mere portion of autumn has passed by, there's no real doubt that the latter part of the year has little other purpose than leading up to the commercial frenzy that we like to call christmas. lest you think me a tad previous, at least one satellite channel has already begun showing the dregs of film-making, colloquially referred to as the christmas movie. and once again, as i pressed fingers to keyboard, disneyland paris broadcast a tv advert to entice parents into taking their offspring to france to meet santa and his plethora of helpers. i therefore absolve myself of all blame.

with no kids young enough to be still living at home, but two grandchildren who seem happy to adopt their mantle, christmas still equates to spending more money than is reasonably justifiable, though this applies more to mrs washingmachinepost than to yours truly. it was always the time of year when parental spending, under the guise of a red suit and large white beard, received a temporary reprieve from any predetermined financial restrictions. therefore, on my birthday i would receive an enticing present and some cake; but for christmas, it was well within bounds to ask for something utterly colossal.

and, traditionally, it was the time of year when that parental wallet seemed more than happy to justify the cost of a nice, new, shiny bicycle.

those who were similarly blessed, will doubtless recall the resounding joy of popping into the downstairs sitting room at stupid o'clock on christmas morning to behold a bicycle shaped agglomeration of yuletide themed wrapping paper. it was all i could do to scoff an incredibly brief breakfast, desperate to get out and ride that highly desirable velocipede. and that, not to put too fine a point on it, is where the house of cards began to pale; if you live in scotland, you will already have sussed what's coming next, while, just to briefly return the conversation to rapha once again, fellow festive 500 participants will also be fully conversant with...

...rain.

yes, despite christmas being the one time of the year when bicycles are very definitely free from stipendiary limitations, it's also a time of year when little kids should probably be introduced to gore-tex. this is a state of affairs that pertains more to scotland than to other portions of the united kingdom. while average rainfall south of the border is pinned at around 885mm, a depth considerably outdone by welsh wales at 2464mm, scotland emerges as one of the wettest countries in europe with an average 4577mm of rainfall. and to think i wondered why avonvogie road was flooded on sunday.

but, for all its reputation as the european country that continues to foster a series of cycling hardmen, seemingly happy to train in the foulest of conditions throughout the winter, producer of cyclocross champions such as wout van aert and the great sven nys and home to the cannibal, eddy merckx, belgium's annual rainfall fails to reach even that of england. so the question asked in my heading remains something of a quandary. with a long tradition of providing the nation's youth with bicycles at the most inappropriate time of year, why is scotland not at the forefront of the spring classics, or carrying off rainbow bands on the 'cross circuit?

it couldn't be christmas rain that's put them off? could it?

tell them we sent you

quick mention for those intending to visit islay's shores on a bike during the summer. velo club d'ardbeg recommended coffee/tea stops - in no particular order.

club headquarters at the old kiln cafe, ardbeg distillery. excellent food as well as designer coffees with froth. the single malt is apparently just ginger peachy. open monday to saturday from easter to september, seven days from june to september.

kilchoman distillery features a rather inviting café and restaurant, sited just off the road overlooking loch gorm on islay's west coast. now retailing a particularly attractive cycle jersey all of its very own, it's the very distillery to drop into while perambulating the atlantic coast, for both coffee and perchance a tour and a dram.

opened in april 2019, ardnahoe distillery features a particularly expansive visitor centre, with superb views over the sound of islay and the paps of jura. on a clear day you can see north to colonsay and mull. ostensibly open seven days with a particularly attractive menu in the illicit still restaurant and café and an espresso to be proud of. for single malt aficionados, it's unlikely there will be any homegrown product available for several years yet.

bruichladdich mini market (debbie's cafe), a few hundred yards from the distillery. highly commended designer coffees with outside tables. we like. open all year round with a cycling wall in the coffee corner.

welcometogreatcoffee.co.uk

and recently opened in islay house square, bridgend in the islay studios photo gallery, a fine selection of designer coffees are now available while you admire the surrounding imagery.
