Richmond Park Winter Training 2009/2010

At least i can spell (and punctuate).

Orly?

Oh for fuck's sake...

"High winds are due to pick up across the southern UK on Friday, peaking on Saturday morning at 80mph (129km/h)."

mind you.... I wonder what an 80MPH tailwind feels like?

Ignore forecasts. They are seldom right.

mind you.... I wonder what an 80MPH tailwind feels like?

It feels like a 40mph wind to me, and a 60mph wind to yous lot.

Ved's right. They are just trying to scare you into not training. Ignore them.

(Should it be windy then have fun - RP in a gale is, ahem, character building).

Steve will be fine though as he is in touch with his inner Belgian. Wind? What wind?

I don't care as I'm riding on sunday anyway :p

I'm probably racing on Sunday. Training is for wimps.

training is for slow people

And wimps. Don't forget the wimps.

working Saturday and Sunday now, no riding in daylight for me this weekend.

Just how you like it then, Martin? Dark and wet. :p

@Ved.. too true mate. Anyway I always end up laughing at riding in really windy conditions, I think there's something comedic about an invisible force that can virtually stop you dead in your tracks.

You mean like apathy?

dunno

Dancing James is wired.

And therein lies the problem.

You mean like apathy?

dunno

Probably don't care either.

^over-egging. You wouldn't have done that if you'd been pissed.

In all poor weather scenarios I just ask myself "What would Boonen do?" and the answer is always "snort coke off the cleavage of his teenage girlfriend".

I just ask myself "What would Boonen do?"

get beaten?

...off by his teenage girlfriend.

Is anyone up for riding over together. Two or more up into the westerly wind might get us there quicker. Smithfield 8:00 am anyone?

if i go i am thinking of taking the train in dalston

That is a slow train. You could ride there more quickly. Or ride to Waterloo and get a proper train.
