Next weeks bike ride is going to be a two hour hill around High Peak with non other than our own Christopher Leigh, should be interesting![]()
So there is no hope for Daz's crank bearings
Had a FANTASTIC ide yesterdayAbout 5 kms in I suddenly had two blokes on my wheel... one said: don't go any faster or we won't be able to keep up with you... After a bit one of them took the front and the other pulled up allongside me and we had a little chat. They were also out for about 3 hours and had only just started their ride, so they took me on the most fantastically scenic ride!
Lots of nice climbs, fantastic views, past castles and abbeys it was amazing! Beautiful crisp clear day... Well cold though, with snow and ice on the higher bits... Exactly 3 hours of good, hard riding in a brilliant landscape in good companyFelt the legs in the end, so good training too!
Funnily enough, halfway into the ride they admitted to how they came to sit on my wheel... They had spotted me in the distance once they joined the road I was one and had an argument over wether I was a bloke or a girl... As in: it has a ponytail, got to be a girl... Nah, there are so many young blkes with long hair these days, women don't ride like that... Yeah, but look at her figure... Nah, could be a skinny bloke... he/she is too fast and has too blokey a riding style to be a woman... So they had to catch up to find out LOL
Going on their clubrun on Sunday![]()
Direct him back to the forum. How can we debate the impending election without his interesting insights? Currently it's being left to TH and WP to provide amusing side arguments. But the complexities of pensions is a bit dull next to arguments such as the moral degeneration of modern society, or drug taking in all forms of sport.
Thats not very complimentary, Han.
Just had an email to say my new frame has arrived at Wheelbase and i can collect the bike Friday lunchtime
yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
59 minutes and 58 seconds for my 14.8 mile time trial. 1200" of climb.
First time this year under the hour. Really pleased.![]()
Well done Trevor
40miles for me last night. new gearing , very nice. It was a lovely dry night, no wind.
Lots of climbing on my hilly loops.
Then in true bikie style I started to shave my legs but the razor conked out..
The shame of it.
Oh by the way does anyone know wherabouts you can get those little electric shavers from ( Emm, Hann ??)
not telling what area I need that for but its delicate.
Taped paris-nice and watched it last night. Contador showing the rest of the peloton how to climb to take the yellow jersey.
Talk about fast and its only March. Wonder if Lance was watching
