2008-06-14 Sat - 100k Ride to Oxford, the people's choice

I might try it on the speedway, 22 20?

I don't know what I'll be riding, but I will be there.
Hopefully Robbie, we'll be up in time to trash the fsck out of you!

Nothing I want more than to have flour eggs and baked beans thrown at me. I finish at 12.30, so unless you HTFU you ain't gonna get here in time.

I would have loved to ride this. Damn exams.

Do you think I should go for a more spinny gear?

yeah.

I wanna stick with my 44/17 69GI

was going to put the 46 ring back on, but It's not meant to be a TT..

I'm hoping I won't struggle to keep up on the flats

why would you struggle on 69? lots of us are on 70 ( 48:18), and there's no real difference

well one gear chart says it's 68 vs the 70.1 of 48/18.

aaaanyway, it's all about 20mph @ 100rpm

it's a lovely cruising gear for enjoying the tits, ahem. weather.

You just enjoy the tits from a different angle with a 69.

I'm more of a missionary man

I won't mess with you then.

I'm about to go the other way today. Just cos i can.
If you see this jonny any chance of a cheat sheet?

i heard you like it from the other direction

nice report jonny. gonna be riding 44/16...this okay you reckon?
Also got this annoying clicking noise going on somewhere in my crankset.
cant figure it out. Its not my chain...i can feel it in my foot once every turn of the crank. Would prefer to get that ironed out before coming along to this. Anyone got any ideas?

peterd might be your pedals, had huge metal on metal grinding noise which I thought was bottom bracket turned out to be one of me pedals was fucked....

hmmm, i might even be free for this :)

peterd - 44/16 will be fine, there is nothing that steep, more like long drags.

31trum - would be good to have you out there dude. hope you had a good hols mate

eyebrows - just seen this - you set off yet? could e-mail you something. need to prep it a bit better before putting it up on here

yeah, i had a good, relaxing time jonny

......................wot no list???

Thats quite possible, im gonna take everything off this week at somepoint anyway so hopefully ill find out one way or the other. Better now than going down some steep hill!

I'm in for a change. Got the fixed switched over from track to road mode for the Rollapaluza clubrun yesterday, and it's all systems go. Looking forward to the one alleged climb... (46x17)

good on ya bumpf

Man. The wife is getting annoyed about all this cycling. Shes making noises about me not going on this. Christ, I had better sort something out fast. Some sort of present might make her change her mind

A sterling performance in the sack usually helps, proving the benefits of cycling-related performance enhancement.

yeah, mike give her something to smile about as you pedal off in the morning.

Yeah, me and murtle are going - we're just telling it like it is ;)

Just what I was going to stay.

Orgasm -> sleepy girl -> you're free!

I'm glad those first 2 parts of the equation weren't reversed - it might sound a bit Rohypnol.

haha
