A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Marek, I hardly think I fit into your lazy bracket, you forget that im a student don't you!

Even on a standard club run im still doing 300+ miles per week anyway, I may as well be a full time pro :wink:

1st Sprint, I should have followed steve and had a 'textbook lead out' but I though... ''who the hell else am I really gonna sprint against if he's leading me out??'' So i tried it the hard way from about 5 places back, when, sod's law, the Charlwood traffic jam came the other way and I was well and truly boxed in. Oh well, Its only a club run, right!?

2nd Sprint, I didn't sprint. I went for a long one while Steve (as he admitted) wheel sucked his way across to ambush me and Sylv who had worked together to get away. So to be honest, am I botherrrd?? lol

Like has been stated, I did kick all remaining asses up the church climb and could have done more on the decent to coulsdon but then I thought. Its only November, right!?

Excuses ay, aren't they brilliant. So, chapeau Steve, and of course Sylv for having the honour to work with me anyway!

Exactly, not there so it could be you'd have got a kicking anyway, but it is only a CR not a race.

Yes, training not racing. Well for me anyway :wink:

Alan - Sorry to hear about your daughter's accident, hope she isn't put off. As you know the first off is always the worst as you've not experienced what's going on and it comes as a bit of a shock. I hope she isn't hurt other than the odd scrape, and is out again soon. She'll be in safe hands with the 2 Johns on her return.

[quote="Marek"]So, Sylv, Huw, Steve B and Adam, can we expect to see your lazy butts on my slightly extended hilly route next week :?:

Cheers

Marek....

I'm not around next weekend Marek, but would have otherwise, hope you have a good ride.

Yeah thanks for that really smart move from you and the Corridori guy to let me knacker myself at the front for about a mile to move up and battle your little duel sprint 100 yards before the Coulsdon roundabout :lol:

Did you get it though, at your third attempt of the day?

Yours, a honored Sylv :wink:

Oh, and Toks, the 3rd placed Adam got lost in Paris!

The rider out yesterday was still fighting the effects of 5 nights out in a row between the wednesday after the ACC race and last sunday. Had an awsome time though! And met a lovely Danish girl, who, with her German and Italian friends is coming to London soon for me to show them around. :twisted: Marco would have been proud!

Errm! Nope, it was a nice little hat trick for me :D :wink:

Keep the excuses coming Adam, I'm keeping them for when I need them myself :wink:

I beat Tony Gibb at Eastway once. He was clearly the first one across the line on the final lap but I won the next lap cause people were knackered and slowed down for some reason but I had loads in the tank and won the "2nd lap after the bell sprint" :wink:

Marek....



Now lets see shall we...

A fast but relatively flat 1 hour with Steve B, Sylv, Dan, Adam & co. One pre-determined sprint point. Then 2.5 hours of steady, hilly riding.
Result - knackered

Alternatively...

A fast, murderously hilly ride for 3 hours with those well known and dependable 'we'll re-group on the hills' steady types; Marek, Stu, Paul H, Hal, Keith and other invited celebrity hardcases. Several pre-determined sprint points AND KOM points up for grabs on the climbs. :twisted: In November. :twisted: :twisted:

Result - dead before christmas, funeral on boxing day, floral triubtes to the family please

I'll be doing a steady Gentlemans's 18s on fixed, return via Box, and then a loop along Pilgrims Way and Up Polhill if you want something more sensible Huw :) , about 100 miles. Although I fully expect you to rise to the bait and join Marek.
