Just sit as upright as possible and relax your arms. Bizarrely I learnt to ride them no handed, clinging onto a table before I could with my hands on the bars, so get your weight back.

After that you've gotta master getting onto them without holding on to anything and my mythical favorite... riding up alongside them, trackstanding, and bunnyhoppping on. I don't know who gave me the idea, has anyone seen that done?

I'll reckon I'll be up for it again next Sunday, and fixed too, seeing as a couple of guys managed it last time. I haven't even ridden my fixed bike since Christmas, why am I even on this forum! This is dependent on knee recovery though, so I reckon I'll be sitting out of Rollapaluza on Wednesday.

Do a Box Hill ride next time. I haven't been there since I was about 14. I want to see if the hill is as mammoth as I remember.

when i was at manchester jumble with roberto he got in early to set up his stall and bought everything that caught his eye...literally everything. it's a very different mentality when you are buying for resale. even the junk sold for a considerable profit.

So what was roberto doing there?

Corny/Snowy - I now have a meeting on Monday night and the earliest I can get there is 8.30, even that might be pushing it.

Yeah thats exactly the same excuse I've got. Strange. Scratch the food for me, but I'll en devour to come along for some drinks anyway, as I won't be far away.

...Only if you're basing that on cumulative age.

VCLs good and very social - mainly focused on kids and track though.

Dulwich are more into road stuff - all seem pretty friendly too and do loads of different club-runs on different days and time.

2nd place Simon Lewis said he's gonna put in appearance at the Rollapaluza 1k special on Wednesday. Then again he said that last time.

How did you enjoy Newport JimmyHill?

Yeah I'll be there. 15th works well too.

3. VeeVee (but might be difficult on 15 Dec - would 22 be ok for people?). Prince Regent my preferred option for a change, they do nice cups of tea.

Not this?

I'll be along this Saturday. Can't see any excuses cropping up this time...

I can't remember who was willing to take these, some trackie?

That would be me. I'll be there from about 8.30 or something with an empty bag.

Good work guys, the 9.30 warm up lap sounds sensible too. I won't be out next week either cos I'll be in Ghent. After that though, I'll be along regular, like.

Morning. Something's come up for today so I'm gonna be a no show - sorry. Hope its a reasonable turn out still, looks a pretty decent day for it.

I should be making a return visit to south drinks on Monday if anyone wants to give me smaller bits to stash at the track.

I'm there a few days a week too during the day if anyone wants to PM me and check beforehand.

I wanna see these pledges come to fruition!

anyway, this is becoming a cgs plug, which isnt the right place...

...THIS is the right place!

Gonna miss it I'm afraid, as I'll be buying Craig a Plum cap.
Any chance I could swap it for Dolan Pre Cursa? Is that still on the way by any chance?

Jeeze, lots of posts, lots of lists... I think I've figured out whats going on.

Meeting here - the George:

This one I think: http://www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=187 mo?

Between these time:

We will be drinking from some suitably early time centrally (5.30-6.30pm)

... then riding on. Cool- I'll be there.

Capiche?

I'll be there, rain or shine, hangover or not.

Bad luck Chickh. Ring up Dolan and get yourself a set of Navigators. You can sue the council if the road was to blame for the blunder described in your above stream of conscious. I know someone who did it after going over on some dodgy tram lines.

Nasty gave me a business card of some cycle specific solicitor when he was in Harry's. Ask him or someone in the shop.

I know I don't live there anymore, like. But Hulme/Moss side is M14, Longsight is M13 - as all Stone Roses fans should know http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Longsight-M13-lyrics-Ian-Brown/7A90822BE46D4E6F482570220028CB06

Give me a bit of warning though, cos I'd like to do it. I realised I'm gonna miss the Alley Chicken weekend after next cos I'm in Ghent.

Cool, cheers. I guess I'll take a bag with me to stock up!

Give it a couple of weeks, I'm looking for someone to break the magical 8 minute barrier. Not me personally you understand...

...and if you travel 25 kms to the east (of Gent) to Aalst there is the biggest bike shop you'll ever see.

Yeah - this place: http://www.vaneycksports.com/

I heard that theres not many bike shops in Flanders because everyone goes to this place. I'm planning on diverting the VCL clubrun out there on the Saturday morning of the Ghent 6.

Calipers just what I want asap. Can pick up any time. Wednesday early evening, Thursday anytime? Let me know.

critical mass is for vegans

!

I was thinking about coming to manc on the 28th of November. Let us know asap when you're gonna do this and I can sort out a detour to l'pool.

Anyway, haven't you been planning this for about 6 months? It better be good...

and miss out on the crusty raver stuff ness is doing???

Ha!

Did anyone go? I heard there was going to be strip trackstand?

You two were both in the Bolton 666 race. 3rd and DFL respectedlyI believe.

In one of those new places that used to be Withington hospital, off Cavendish Rd. In Didsbury Point. Ride a white steel bike with stickers and CXP30's. Seem to spend most of my time on Princess Parkway... Good times!

Ahh... you're *that *Jim. Trying to figure out who everyone is on here...
