stupid rain

my shoes are drying out over the radiator as I type, I really don't want to but mudguards might be in order, or a foot condom thing...............................

It's blowing a gale and lashing with rain here in the garden of England (well the beach of England) will need my souwester to go collect tonight's fish & chips. Will get a chance to test mud clearance on the knobblies tomorrow morning.
Have a lovely Norths tonight folks - will send a postcard.

The fire is nice and warming at the bottom of the hill.

I'd like to be in the SA right now, mmmm real ale. They don't know how to do beer over here

Especially fixed.

fuck bike punctures. fuck needing 80mm valves (thankyou very much guys who offered up inner tubes).
Fuck walking down swains in sidis. fuck slipping down swains in sidis. fuck walking in sidi dominators when
the insoles ride backwards!. fucking awesome pizza! sorry about the rant

Ha xander, we were just talking about how much of a bitch those rims are as well. My mudguard came half off about 5 minutes away from the pizza place so rode home with one of its arms hitting my spokes making a fucking annoying noise. Pretty much didn't pedal the whole way though.

Nice try, Jason. I can see that you're trying to pretend that you know maths. Why don't I repost this in the math geeks thread to see what they say, eh? ;)

we're so cool

Good to see everyone last night.

We need to get to pizza earlier though so the fat woman cant fit in. It will be good for her. Mcarthy can eat 3 pizzas because he has ridden from North West West London and is like a rake. Being pushed to Papa Dels then walking from the door inst enough exersize to warrent the sheer amount of food! It is quite fun judging though.

She made me want to vomit

Particularly enjoyed this description of the similarity between roadies & triathletes:

"Specifically, the area in which the Triathlete and the Roadie are most similar is in their ability to reduce cycling to a fitness-building exercise, suck the joy from it and discard it so all that is left is a desiccated Lycra shell."

And this of recumbent riders:

"Cyclists all notice one another, so when we see something that looks somewhat like a bicycle yet places the rider in an odd position with his feet kicking at the air as if he's defending himself from an attacking eagle, we become confused and disoriented."

That's brilliant. I mean, I hate being pigeon-holed, but it's a very thorough analysis and there is lots in there that's spot on. Especially the Beautiful Godzilla!

I really need to get to norths, I've put it in my diary for next week so hope to be there.
