I own 9 bikes, three of which are fixed.

Brilliant.....I've cracked it!

S = 10.

Cheers Andy.

Which direction, sir?

Any interesting hillocks?

Aha - it all becomes clear. Name tags next time, then I can tow you back up to the group ;)

Hang on....your Colnago is lovely too. 2/4 ;)

Yeah - one out of four's not bad though...

Losing what, you appalling mongstrel?

Ahhh I don't know, I'm losing it myself. Speaking of which, I managed to make an appalling cunt of myself again this evening. I pulled alongside the charming fella that rides TNRC on a beautiful colnago with delta brakes in regents park and completely forgot his name. I compounded my error by being on my motorbike at the time which rendered all but the most basic sign type communication impossible. After waving in a, frankly, limp wristed fashion, attempting to air draw TNRC, I remembered I have JUNG in large silver letters on the back of my leathers, which I hoped would prompt a moment of clarity, however, in the excitement, I forgot I was also wearing a hooded top obscuring the legend. In the end I had to ride off, leaving him nonplussed and me in deep shame.

DOH.

Still bicycle pain at lunchtime and motorcycle mayhem in the evening almost makes going to work worthwhile.

^^ give a guy a break. Actually Ludwig that was extremely polite for bmmf....notice the 'p' word

Spot on. You're losing it BMMF...

Free coffee at Rapha Cafe on the ride in this morning was great.

I will admit that I am well and truly taken in with the Rapha marketing/brand. I think I think I am their target demographic, middle class, with a penchant for middle aged men, bicycles and Italian porn.

Evocative photos of cyclists on misty climbs in the Pyrenees, over priced retro cycling jerseys. . I want it all......

There, I have said it.

Double fixed. ;)

I was there too, dammit.

I am Ahab.

Course he is.

.....thinking fixed is probably not possible. Very low gear freewheel would be fine though. We need some volunteers to paint names on the road.

PGM - get the 3rd July up in rides n races.....assemble the masses. Etc.

Laps tonight?

Is the RIGHT attitude! Spot on fella.

Jung is still on the fucking train back to civilisation. That was a long way. Loon.

I love Riojas. Had an 81 Lopez de heredia bosconia last night. Absolutely deelicious. Apologies for derail. On a train, with beer and no food after rather a long ride with sasmon.

Sasmon.
I might be up for an early beer.

Dave4 - still got your light! Are you about tonight?

Si,

I have a couple at home. You could collect your trousers at the same time if you like.

(that reads badly, doesn't it.....)

My lower back is absolutely fine, which is curious as for the very great part, I was sat down. Legs a little tight but otherwise OK. Generally feel a bit doped out.
It's weird how slowly you actually go.

and yes Andy, geared, full carbon and a half packet of shot blocks. ;)

Tuesday night was one of the nicest routes I've done with TNRC.

Going for Menchov's time in Italy next then…

I reckon if we do it half as fast we'll be pleased. Feel a bit unusual today.

You twat.

Can't disagree with you there.

Swaintoux - done. 20 laps, 2hr 40 door to sofa. Not an altogether pleasant experience.

Yeah, fat fucking sprinter indeedy... ;)

Me and Tex had a crack on a downhill nr potters bar but it was downhill and I had gears.

Could be good training for Swaintoux....or recovery....

I'm fucked....really busy in the morning, no breakfast, then dragged to a lunch with a load of trust people and a dmag each of Pichon Lalande 96 and GPL 85. Cycling makes you such a cheap drunk.
