  • isn't Pastry a previous winner?.....speak to Caspar if he wants to MC. I, alas will not be coming...

  • I'd never give up an extra day in morocco. Good surf. Good times.

    I know, trying to go a day sooner instead. My friend's grumbling though. We're heading to Tangier, not as many good surf spots nearby though I've heard? Can't bloody wait. It's been six months since I've been in the sea!

  • something tells me we won't be seeing MotherGirl in a bid for drunken glory..

  • I don't drink! (much) This is all your fault Phil!

    No, it's all the Rainbows fault.

    I only won againste weak non-cyclists from Aston Uni

  • Thought you said you came second over on the BC forum?
    You done Rollas a few times?

    BC forum? What's that?
    I have done roller racing a few times, but Rollapaluza probably only twice.

  • Birmingham Cyclist, a few weeks ago, there's a video on there

  • Birmingham Cyclist, a few weeks ago, there's a video on there

    I don't remember saying I came second... although technically I did come second in that one race in Manchester ;)

    Won at Aston Uni, which wasn't hard as no-one there was a cyclist. Got an iPod & sold it for £60. Not bad for 25 seconds pedaling

  • That's why I asked, I assumed you would win this kind of shit, it's right up your street...
    I'm not even entering, I'm no sprinter

  • Nor me but I'll bring some humour to the evening I'm sure!

  • That's why I asked, I assumed you would win this kind of shit, it's right up your street...
    I'm not even entering, I'm no sprinter

    that's not the attitude we want young owsley! you'll love it.. ;)

  • some sprinters do do well, but then so do some endurance riders. in fact all kinds of riders lay down some fast times if you look at the regular nights.. it's a proper wild card, which is why it's such a good night out. but for sure we need a good crowd who are up for cheering and rooting for their mates...!

  • that's not the attitude we want young owsley! you'll love it.. ;)

    Young?

  • He's never met me, I commented then deleted, not worth correcting people all the time

  • state of mind, dudes.. that and the state of your knees. no difference to anyone else..

  • That's why I asked, I assumed you would win this kind of shit, it's right up your street...
    I'm not even entering, I'm no sprinter

    I'm not a sprinter either, I have fuck all strength in my legs or anaerobic capacity - I'm a mountain man. Only cause I don't weigh much. Gimme 10 mile long 10% gradient climbs any day and I'll do OK, but spinning in a high speed anaerobic blitz for 30 secs I fail massively at.

  • I'm not good at any of the things mentioned so far, but I'm still going to give it a go. Owsley - get involved!

  • Bike commuters/couriers skanking the vibe..

    I'll be packing a Motorised version avoiding failed bungee hooking.

    Have fun.. =)

  • I'm not good at any of the things mentioned so far, but I'm still going to give it a go. Owsley - get involved!

    That's great and maybe I shouldn't have made my comment that I'm not entering but it's definitely not going to change much if I don't. I know my strengths and weaknesses, not worried about winning or losing but just know that going mental for less than a minute isn't what I'm good at, I'm good at slowly going mental all day.

  • Just a note for anyone who's worried about not being good at 20-30 second sprints - you don't have to be good at it - you just have to be better than everyone else who enters - hence me getting £60 richer at Aston Uni ;)

  • Flying back on the 28th. Boom. I'll drop in to booze and heckle if nothing else!

  • Also, a woman at The Manchester Sprint won £200 for being the fastest woman. No other women entered. I was quite jealous at the time but she deserved it fo sho'. So I would heartily recommend that girls enter this event even if you don't think you'll do well.

  • ill ride in a dress for 200 quid

  • Hopefully going to make this, depends if the boss will let me do the early shift thursday and the late friday. Hmm
