Thursday Night - Hour of Power

Bike is now equipped with an 80" gear, felt like my tyres were full of treacle this morning.

Not sure if I'll make it tonight (got beer options), but if it's as windy as last week I'd probably end up flipping the wheel back round after about two laps.

So I'm in and rolling fixed on 81 GI. Hopefully it will be dry later.

I need to go to work straight after laps again so will probably disappear about 7:30. Geared.

having second thoughts about this :P

Pah, the rain came and went, i will deffo be doing laps even if it's on my own just to give the Dolan an outing seeing as i made the effort over the last couple of days to get it road ready.

My TT base bars just turned up at work but i think i'll leave them be for tonight's lappage and fit them this weekend...

happy to chuck some clip on bars your way in exchange for some bottom bracket fitting assistance... :P
(got tired of the crunch)

Rain has gone, there's cycling to be done.

Yeah no worries mate, is it a shimano one, i think i have the tool at home, if not someone must have borrowed it, can check later on!

I've got a shimano BB tool too.

To sunny for HoP. I'm out

of work and already here. Might get a few early laps in.

i'll be heading over in 15ish, 6.45 start right?

Have a good evening, I'll be in the pub feeling guilty.

shoulda come today. was hoping for polo somewhere South.

6.30 start. Very fragmented groups. Did a bit of honest work with a chap called Noel who I've seen out before. If you're on here, nice riding with you.
Joe.

What a windy treat that was coming up from the zoo.

Thanks to Mr Instructional who was wearing a Nalini jersey who first accused me of hit his wheel then started ranting what was i doing and that i should shout my intentions if i want to pass.

For him to follow up with I know more about cycling than you every will?

What the hell is wrong with you? Maybe you need to got to an NA meeting or something to vent your rage.

Be well everyone.

Awesome HoP tonight, google tracks said;

Well happy with the Dolan on it's first outing too! Good riding with you guys :-)

I need to start using Google Tracks!

Lovely riding with you all, too (for the first 3 laps that is).

That was plenty fun. Thanks OSR and laner for the company. Legs hurty now.

^Which one were you?

I forgot to say hi; sorry.

I left early again but my results were nearly the same. Average speed 21mph and max speed 31mph.
I fucking died in that headwind, really annoyed as before/after the dunwich dynamo I was feeling really strong but my holiday straight after it has really ruined my stamina. Time to get out there more often to build it back up.

also riding while listening to slipknot was awesome.
