So sorry to hear about your collarbone FBR.

I hope everyone didn't stick to their bedsheets too much last night :0(

Christ, you look about 15 in that pic, hippy.

If it's the one I think it is, then all I can say is good luck! Beautiful looking piece of machinery.

Jesus. Knew it was cold this morning, but not that cold!

What happened? I hope the injuries are minimal, but see that you bust the bikes.

Those CD's where you're promised hundreds of pictures of women.

Sorry, but Ted Hankey is a complete tool.

From memory wasn't this a 'couriers only racing' event??

I'd rather it wasn't TBH!

Great tits

Picked up my frame from Armourtex this week, I got a small paint seepage into the first couple of BB threads, but apart from that every other area is/was masked off fine.

To be honest I could not fault them.

As for Vaz, I left 2 messages with him at the end of November both saying exactly what I was after and when could I drop the frame off, and he didn't even bother getting back to me. I'd rather give my money to someone who actually wants it.

I love porn.

velocity boy Sam, is that you?

You rang?

andyf @Sam,

Where did you get rims and hubs for £50?

Second hand cheap bastards from eBay.

Maillard hubs (yes shit I know), and MA4 rims that were laced to some old ShimaNo 600 hubs.

Platini [quote]Sam PS It's not finished yet.

Very good! I have all the gear, it's just a case of setting aside a few hours to build this fucker up.

Personally though, I'd rather do this than buy one off the peg :0)

There's no regulations at weekends, apart from certain days like the L2B. I still think the guard has some sort of discretion though.

BringMeMyFix I've only ridden it twice, but I did ride the the vertical strip round the top briefly during the devil to avoid a time-trial specialist's sudden decision to move up while I was overtaking him :S

Doing a flying 200m, and going round the bend on the pursuiters line at about 40mph with your ear nearly scraping the ground is fun too!

Ridden it once, didn't have the bollocks to ride up the top.

One plank tried to do it s-l-o-w-l-y, cue much laughter from the rest when gravity finally caught up with him and he slid down the boards to the blue safety zone.

fuzzbrain Re rail replacement: it appears that you CAN get a train to Otford which is reasonably close to Knockholt.

Yep, missed that. Soz. First train gets you there at 8:30am, from there it's just over 3 miles, includes taking in the final climb of the day up Star Hill. Not much of a climb, but after 95km it's a different story!

hippy I've just entered the 3-day, 300mi option.. it's flat right?

Yes.

hippy Why not just ride the extra distance? How far is it?
Or, do the Harp Hilly 100 Reliability ride in the Chilterns.

The start is 21 miles from Seven Dials (as a standard starting point). Makes the day's mileage 106 (or 167 clicks for those people who are that way inclined).

Annoys the crap out of me as well. Unfortunately (knowing my missus) she will probably drive my boy to school when he reaches that age as she is a lazy fecker. It's about 1/2 a mile BTW.

Back in the day I used to have to catch 2 buses and a train to get to my school.

Note to anyone think of catching a train down to Kent to ride the Hell of Ashdown on the 27th.

There's engineering works taking place, rail replacement bus services etc.

Engineering work between Chislehurst, Otford, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge from Sunday 27 January until 04:00 Monday 28 January 2008

Use a hacksaw blade to make a groove, then stick a screwdriver in it. If you make 2 grooves you could use a Phillips for better torque.

FYI hippy!

Hips, is this really the profile for the Chiltern 100?? If so, there's not much flat stuff!!
