Winter Training in RP, Saturdays

Calshot was fucking excellent.

bit tired now..

best moment: Mr Smith trying to jerk me off thinking some roadie sitting on his back

I can't quite picture it, and don't want to either.

i think the technical term is a 'reacharound'

Reverse Changes

Is that having to go from back of the group onto the front?

Are you asking MrSmith or RPM?

t'other way.

same as we do at HH but whole laps instead of half.

and a million times more technical and fun

a reminder - will be out in RP this evening doing some quiet, quick laps, will be at Roehampton Gate at 7pm, wearing the Dulwich top.

went out for a brisk one this morning, legs felt like shit, was riding like a deacon.

HR up to 190 up dark hill, couldn't pull together any decent sprints along the bottom because of the fucking motors everywhere.

not sure if the antibiotics I'm on for an eye infection are messing with my HR or fitness

Just blame the float, why don't you.

sorry I didn't make it today, need to fit new forks to the fixed, first time for everything, so was never going to be in it this week.
so see everyone down at herne hill next week weather permitting...

Managed 2 clockwise and 2 anti this morning, felt lonely though and missed you all until I clocked adoubletap going the other direction and met up at the Cafe later. 75 miles for a sat morn ride and feeling good...
RPM I agree ^^ those cars seemed to be going very slow today, I did see a police van early on though.
How did the new forks go Corny any probs?
Hope the rumble goes well tomorrow whoever is doing it, looks like a nice day for it.

i'm resting today, in prep for surrey rumble hence the no show.

I'm supercompensating like a motherfucker at the library.

You are in our thoughts BMMF, not the same as the real thing but it will have to do until we see you next.

I love supercompensating. I'd rather be doing that than riding around RP.

Cycling's great and everything, but it's always going to come second to sitting around and stuffing my face; particularly as it's during the latter that your fitness actually improves :)

Went out with the younger end of the Willesden CC to ride Box Hill. Good fun. Bonus was "Div" knowing a publican near RP and the free beers that entailed. Bright times.

Just blame the float, why don't you.

oh yeah, that too.

the float was horrible it made me feel physically sick, disgusted.

darn I would have looked out for you guys if I'd known.

The Parks are talking about introducing car parking charges.. reckon voting for them would discourage drivers or not?

Not in Richmond. Although I do see the occasional cyclist who drive there with their bike. They MUST live a LOOOONG way away.
