Aha, the infamous Mr Fallon. I don't think we have any pros yet but we do have some pretty tasty riders at the moment. How are things going with you these days, did you manage to fulfill your expectations of riding with a team in the US.

Do you remember David Findlay. Well he is still riding but recently moved from Switzerland to Dubai, so unlikely I will see him that often. I went out and did the Marmotte a couple of times with him and also did a sportive in Switzerland.

Would be great to hear how your getting on. Are you still riding your Look?

Cheers

well, i moved out here, got a coaching scholarship, and rode for a team sponsored..meaning i got all my kit and frame and equipment free....unfortunately though my illness which i developed back in england kept haunting me...last year i had surgery and removed 15 foot fo my stomach...had some internal reconstruction, and not im stronger than ever!

in debt, so need to work alot which limits riding, but ims till only 23, and i got a lot of muscle memory which im gonna utilize soon...lol

oh, and i discovered snowaboarding!!! SIC

actually persuing my other life goal right now(other tahn cycling) was joining the police.i tried for the met at 18, but failed...im now back, applying for LAPD...yay

Hey Rob - great to hear from you again. Shame your health issues have held you back over the last few years. Hopefully, you are mended now.

I think the LAPD would be a great career for you. In fact, your photo above reminds me of the T1000 in Terminator 2.

OK - so the T1000 was one of the bad guys, but that's a mere technicality. He spent most of the film in police uniform....

Have dropped you a PM. Stay in touch, dude.

Blimey that sound, and looks, a bit nasty. Glad you're in good health again.

Hey Rob, have you also had a face-tuck, I don't recognize you

Remember that muddy cyclocross race in Brighton? :-)

Hey good to hear from you Rob. Do remember your ACC Club Road Race idea? Well guess what its still going! :shock: :D It took a little bit of campagning initially but we've had one every year since you started them... whenever I think of you I'm reminded of 4th cat races @ Hillingdon - you riding no handed eating a banana at the back of the bunch as a junior; then surging to front and riding 50 metres infront of everyone else before the slowing down on the drag to let us all catch up :D :D
