Crack of dawn TT

I will be there next time, my hand was too sore this morning after horatio smacked it full swing with his polo mallet!

Will: 3:53.98
Tom / tomasito: 3:34.14

I got schooled, great fun though

Just got back - did a lovely lap of Hyde park then stopped to help a punctured brethren on Uxbridge road.. best Sunday morning in ages!
Good to meet some more mad cyclists.

A few pics:

The action shots failed on my camera - you guys were just too quick!

I had a hurty knee. That's all I'm saying.

Here are the few pics that I got on my phone.

What can I say? that old man is fast. Lol

Old man?

he's got a screw loose that's for sure

Screw loose?

I'm not that old or mad!

Great morning everyone. Can't believe how much that hurt my lungs. That cold winter air is no god for you, will be far more enjoyable in the summer.

Brilliant choice of breakfast place I feel pretty great now. Almost time for a glass of wine

Old man?

Screw loose?

I'm not that old or mad!

you're the same age as me, compared to hill-whippersnapper-billy that's OLD.

and there's a common link between people of a high athletic ability, they have a part of the brain missing. It's the bit that registers pain and tiredness.

webcam+ zoom

is this going to happen again soon?
i'm really keen, just couldn't make it yesterday.

dudes, I feel like a heel, alarm was set, alarm went off, just never woke up and when I did it was meeting time and I couldn't drag myself out of bed. Looks like you had a legendary one, whens the next one, I'll make sure I get a disco nap in the day before and be there bright and early.

Could actually make this a regular thing. No traffic about, great surface. Even the 5-0 weren't that bothered, even after Gus had a word with them.

next weekend?

can't do next weekend, will be in the midst of heavy drinking/dancing/carousing. Obviously I don't have to be there for the TT to be a success, but I would like to show my face before it becomes entrenched in the forum calendar betwixt, drinks/polo and the night rides...
:-P

GMAP Pedometer says that about 1.35 miles so hillbilly and MikeC are averaging about 25mph I think.

I may be at a party the night before but if not I would be up for it again - and an average of 25mph - holy shizzle!

I feel really guilty for not turning up. I was up in time I just wasn't near awake enough.

Glad you all had fun.
