Bikezilla 2

So is this fixed only or singlespeed only???

ss welcome.
cos its a race keeping it to one gear ratio, but my next alleycat is open to all.

One gear as in SS or fixed bikes only, or as in we all have to ride the same ratio?

I'm pretty sure it's not the latter but my powers of brain still haven't caught up with me from Wiltshire.

ok i'm gonna ride my ss work bike anyway. it's more comfy!

my surrogate son bike, i mean.

great cant wait till friday!

Gutted I'll miss most of this but I finish work at 9 so I'll come and see what's gwanin then

If no one is busy how about we link up Wednesday night for practice runs around the circuits. Just so everyone is clear on to the route - good idea?

plus another reason for some FUuuuuuuuuun.

Bike polo is Wednesdays

maybe Thursday?

Forgot polo, damn.
Thursday no good for me because of this, the Best art exhibition Birmingham has ever seen:

what about today? i can do it after 6:30 till 8

Shiiiiiiiiiit, Busy tonight.

Ok how about all those who don't play polo come out wed night for a razz? actually, are there any cyclist people in this city who don't play polo wednesday nights?

my plan is just to tail gav and dan. i only hope *they *know the route. and that they don't drop me too fast.

:)) i dont play polo but i have something different on :(
sorry...

what are you exhibiting, gav?

Three small photos of insdide that building on Belmont Row... the listed building that has burned down.

Many moons ago it housed CWS/Co-Op and sometime during the late 30s early 40s they made these:

we are going to come over Friday (as long as its dry)

Loop race is anti-clockwise btw
instruction and maps available tomorrow

Been waiting for tomorrow's race for so long now, but I think I'm actually nervous now... can't decide if my gear ratio is fast enough for it, totally second guessing everything.
On top of that, my gf read the post in the Rollapaluza thread when DFP said something about me being Scary and Fat, or something like that... well she's giggled about it all week and tonight presented me with this.

WTF?!?
Seriously.

I definitely can't fucking enter now, if I fall off, or bonk, or am just 'Embarrassingly Slow' wearing that thing...

So yeah, I think I might show up with camera and document the race.

Or race in disguise

Ha, that is brilliant!

haha - it's especially good how the writing is on the back, so all us mortals can get a good view as you cruise into the distance.

i'm not sure it's possible to bonk on a two mile race, though.

It's a possibility after cycling at work for 8 hrs, if today is way too busy I'll be kinda bonky, if it's just right I'll be just nicely warmed up.

The letters glow in the dark too...

im really lookin forward to this, did the route yesterday and it seems pretty fast, traffic depending.
hopefully i wont be seeing the back of that t shirt the whole race aha.

cool shirt, is there anything on the front? i like the metallica font
