good idea cheerese mate.

What do mean like a nacked calender?

edit: sorry google calender

Cool cheers hippy.

I looked on the audax web site after posting and could not find it so I thought not.
Maybe I will have to bite the bullet and buy some lycra as I want to get into these 100/200 km + rides.
I was expecting pain but I would like to minimise it.:)

+1 to that had some guy doing that this morning he was wobbaling all over the place.

MrSmith ...is not easy but very satisfying when you get it all dialled... once but i opened my mind ... :-)

At first I thought you were talking about anal sex.

Then I reread.

Dose it count for audax randonnee?

Also two little question for you people who do lond distance rides.

Are lycra shorts better than some normal shorts with these padded undershorts?

This butt cream stuff, are you ment to apply it beforehand kind of like some hard core e45 type cream?

Sorry for stupid questions but I never ride much more than 50-60 miles in a day (when I am seeing diffrent people erron running) and that is never in one go so I have never had any problems with my normal shorts e.t.c

Nasty! I have full mudgards partly because the frame organlly had 27" wheels so it takes up some space and stops it looking so bad. The best option if you want to keep as clean as poss. not always easy or even possible to fit, worth it for the winter though if you can I think, look a bit hsit thoguh on most bikes. From my expearience with clipon mbt style mudgards they only do any good if you can get thm close to the wheel like damnham can. I see peope with them bolted to the top of their seat post just under the saddle and then tilted up at such an angle the protection they offer is minimised. Keep it tight out there.

It's all banter!

I am not sure I fancy racing, I seem to be too accedent prone at the moment but I would not mind haing a look. Do you think a check point (other side of the road / out of the way of any people trying to get stamped e.t.c) would be a good place to watch some action?

It's playing the disinterested role Buffalo Bill! It's like in the movies where a couple have lifes and atutudes that seem very diffrent and have diffrent aproaches. They try and out do each other with litttle remarks e.t.c Then one day there is a big fight and at the hight of the angar they both realise it is not angar tehy feel but sexual tension. Bang! They make love and live happly ever after and have children.

At the moment the messenger / fakenger thing is still building up to the fight, but I want to be there to see the fight, the love making and then the twisted children that will result.

I think you could you add veganisum to that list too.:)

Whats left to talk about now the list writen?

Jos Your all Fakengers, You're not allowed......Anyway be sure to bring your A-Z. Well.....maybe not for this one, but do bring it when the next real ones on. I don't think you would now where Lumley ct. WC2 is.

I like percy passage because it sound rude.

It's the fixedgear equivalent of speaking about religion and politics in polite events. Don't Talk about helmets and brakes!

dicki so brick is that knuckles and face that are damaged now ?

ha ha! yep I got home and promptly sliped up on the wet kitchen floor that hurt too. I hope this is my three for now. I am just a bit clumsy.

aidan sorry I did not text back but I am shit at that hope the work went well. Good luck with your exams.

Yep your all pussies.

31trum: my face is a bit swollon, and I am dribbling more than usual but not too painful. No sence no feeling!

I feel rough today hung over.

For the rest of you this is what happens when you over correct after looking over your shoulder and hit the curb!

Oh that effect is so plumber-fabulose it's so raw, it's so"I've just steped out of the bulders merchant" I declair that I must have one!

Thats what my mate needs a frame that big, he is 6' 7" and my bike looks like a toy (58 or 59 cm can't remember) on him.

whats that a 70 cm fame?

It's because we are not going to church.

I would love a skyways pad set, that would be rad.

Ha! I lived in West Drayton for two years and would ride along the Uxbridge road some times to see friends a truly horible rode.

I also wrote to my MP using this link in asking them to sign an early morning motion

"Cyclists to be banned from using the road
11.05.07 by Buffalo Bill

Use this - or else!
OK, that’s an exaggeration. But it’s not far from the truth. The Highway Code is currently being revised. And those nice men at the ministry have decided to insert a clause recommending that cyclists use cycle routes and cycle facilities…wherever possible, as they can make your journey safer. Moving Target reported on why this could be a threat to cyclists’ safety last year.

Whilst the Highway Code does not have the force of law, it carries considerable weight with the courts when deciding where responsibility for collisions lie. It has been argued in the past by insurance companies that cycling on a busy fast road is contributory negligence ie simply riding a bike in heavy traffic is stupid, and therefore, as a stupid person, an injured cyclist is not entitled to full compensation.

If the new Highway Code includes this clause, then it will be possible for the insurers, and the lawyers of defendants in prosecutions for criminal driving, to argue that as the HC instructs cyclists to effectively stay off the road ‘whereever possible’, then motorists should not be held responsible for the consequences should cyclists be so unwise as to continue to occupy the hallowed tarmac.

another world-class cycling facility

I think bike lanes are ludicrous, unsafe and merely an attempt to keep us out of the road. Bicycle messengers rarely use them. I rarely use them. Anyone with any sense rarely uses them, unless they are a Bromptonocrat, in which case they take whatever ridiculous detour is required to follow them with glee, enthusiastically dismounting where instructed and joyously halting at all the nonsensically sited yield signs.

The Cyclists Touring Club and others are petitioning the Department of Stupid Ideas to get the clause dropped. Previous attempts to reason with the Ministry of Madness have resulted in the word ‘practical’ being changed to ‘possible’. I strongly recommend all MT readers to sign one of the on-line petitions.
this is where you belong!
I have received 3 or 4 different emails on the subject in the last 24 hours from such diverse sources as ‘Headbanging’ Bob Davis and Winston, urging action. Matt Seaton spoke out against the amendment yesterday in his ‘Two Wheels’ column, and Will Self, despite dividing the London cycling community, did likewise in the Standard. I am not aware of a single organisation representing cyclists that approves of the change.

So what is the Department for Increasing Carbon Emissions playing at? I read somewhere that there is not a single cyclist working in the Highway Code revision bit of the Department for Transport. Maybe that’s why they are unable to comprehend that pavements are for pedestrians, gutters are for sewage and that the safe and direct route from A to B is not around the bloody houses.

Menzies Campbell, leader of the Literal Demagogue party, has put down an Early Day Motion (I have no idea what it means either) that the alterations in the provisions of the Highway Code proposed to be made by the Secretary of State for Transport, dated 28th March 2007, a copy of which was laid before this House on 28th March, be not made.

In layman’s language, this translates to don’t be so stupid, you fing muppets, do you take us for complete cs?

If you really want to make a difference, you can also write to your MP (even if you didn’t vote for him/her or are not registered to votein the UK), and insist that they sign the motion.

Here is what the Cycle Campaign Network has to say on the subject of lobbying MPs:

Particularly if you are writing to a Labour MP , it is worth mentioning that the cycling organisations are still in dialogue with officials and hope that the Government may yet agree to revise the Highway Code – hence they may be paving the way for a ‘good news’ announcement from the Minister.

For MPs of all parties, please also ask them to speak to their party colleagues in the Lords to ask them also to ‘pray against’ the Highway Code. For procedural reasons, the Code is far more likely to be challenged effectively in the Lords than in the Commons.

Once again: sign the petition. Write to your MP.

depends when it is but up for helping on a check point. Can't ride hard due to my hand at the moment.
