2010-06-13 - Rapha Gentlemans TTT - London to Brighton to London

Good to hear you back in the fray, Matt Leprof! You took it on the chin like a man! And on the nose, head, shoulder, hip, elbows and arse. If you're going to crash, make it spectacular!

Holy. Shit.

Only just seen this epic thread. I might just delete my post on the I Hate thread. I feel quite insignificant now.

Hats off to the lot of you and heal up fast Matt.

Isn't nose, head, shoulders, hip, elbows and arse a children's song? with actions?

More morphine Dr..

Yes.
The actions consist of hitting tarmac at 25 mph and nipping the arses of paramedics in the back of an ambulance.

it was quite terrifying to watch. i heard a mechanical noise and thought "that does not sound good." turned around to see bike cartwheeling off in one direction and matt in the other, full cartoon style

i think he may have hit his head on the ground, bounced, flipped over and then landed on his front

some local cyclists have asked us to send pics to the local paper, as they have been campaigning about the state of the road for ages

Which road?

The one between London and Brighton. All of it.

Terrible state.

DJ, happy to send to local paper (Foxhill, B2112?)

=

My legs between London and Brighton. Both of them.

Terrible state.

^^looks like dj spilled a drop or two of claret on the journey south.

I am glad you are in sutch a cheery(ish) after what happened. Heal up soon.

I'm not happy about Brendan being at the top waiting with the telephoto lens.

I'm sure the photo of you 'slaining it up Ditchling is available for a price...

B, I get commission for this, right?

Leprof, hope you heal up quick. Free plastic surgery = bonus!

Gears. Just been to Rapha cafe to pick up my HR belt. Jacqui gave me two of our Assos caps which were left.

I have mine. Who's missing their's?

Srlsy.. I don't think I ever pointed out and shouted "hole" so much on a ride...

The whole fixed team, who VB didnt buy assos hats for.

Should make this weekend's BHF ride 'interesting'.

Yeah, those potholes are trip hazards too.

Does anyone know who can make a Tweed Jumpsuit?

Guy at Dashing Tweeds? might have to save up for a week or two to get it though,
oh, you were taking the piss werent you.......

Brilliant!

I had one of those Asshole hats Brave. i'll arrange a pick up for it

Clean as a whistle! 53x23 all the way to the top! And that's with overcoming a whole extra ring of ballast :P

the man don't lie i was just off his wheel and the fkr was big ringing it. that said Brave danced up it. i was hoping the cross wind at the top would catch that main of his and take him out

heal up fast man ... hope nose will look good and all that.
