Today's Bike Ride

[Hanneke]

It is incredibly windy! Actually, a gale is blowing... thought the roof was going to come off my house last night, don't think I have had it this bad here before :w00t:

Now off to my cross race, I don't know if I am going to stay on the bike!

Have a good race Hann!I just popped by this thread to say baby Hazel arrived on the 17th November, weighing 8lb5 and causing me no end of bother being back to back - we both fine though Might give it a few weeks before sitting on a bike seat though

Yes i have been wondering, thats just amazing. Baby hazel, hey well done you.Congratulations ratfink. Nice one.x

Cripes, that was hard work... it is odd riding a cross race when it feels like you are actually on a pedalo on a very rough sea I hope this strange condition called Labyrinthitis goes soon, as I am getting rather fedup with feeling seasick 24/7...

I think its known as an ear infection.

just got my self a HED disc wheel and a Zipp 404 front wheel off ebay arrived at the weekend (both tubulars) ready for next years time trials.
just got to get fit over winter
(just got to resist the temptation to use them at the xmas fancy dress 10 at Milnthorpe on 18th December)

[Hanneke]

Why not use them? would be fun, dress up like Hutch

When you said that bike pics had to show the bike in the "big chain ring"....

Hmmmm... you have got a point there re winds... it would act like a mighty sail though and if the wind direction was right, would propell you forwardsa at warp speed
