ha ha, yes Hippy, that's why it's better to be out on the bike... Are the Grupetto heading out over xmas, if so, maybe I could come and join you? I'm up for Flanders so would be good to ride with you.
and Rapha HTFU? didn't you get your arse kicked at the gent's tt this summer? ;-) not my fault, it was just going that way.
How about alternating parks in between laps to spice thing up and break up the boredom?
yep.
I thought you had the higher ground covered Lucifer? And am I right in thinking you're onboard for PBP?
Weather permitting, I think this is a good thing to aim for; a nice enough distance to keep things ticking over, and a good way to start the new year with ok legs and not feeling the seasonal excess - only the phantom sting of embrocation.
You can go stupid on the food without consequence, 'sort of' have to take it easy on the booze, fit some distance in by riding to the social events, and exorcise all the daft tension that leads to the inevitable falling out with loved ones.
The downside is if the weather gets in the way (then it gets crap in Jan/Feb so you get set back again), freezing waterbottles, and maintaining/cleaning the bike can be a real nightmare.
Anyone up for it?
