Oh and I hate paying for bendy buses and then watching 20 other people get on with swiping their oyster cards.. ;)

I am 'the' hippy not 'a' hippy. There's no peace with me - it started as a long hair/stoner look thing.

Oh, I didn't even mention the tube, or waiting for buses, or.. or.. :)

TheBrick 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

1. Well it's not run under AudaxUK rules so I'd guess 'no' but that's my guess.
   
2. I reckon knicks would be better because you don't have the seam that 'normal' shorts have running under your soft bits
   
3. Yes, the cream is applied before you ride, although I've never used it myself and find the thought of having that mush in my knicks kinda gross.. oh and I'm fscking 'ard and don't need that girlie stuff (not) ;-)
   
   

Your butt is gonna hurt no matter what you do until you get used to riding those distances. It will hurt less with proper postion, proper saddle shorts and possibly the butt cream.

MrSmith: I echo your last two points (although 'cino not macchiato) but don't have a TV so dunno about the first one.
What else.. Letsee.. airfares to Australia, airfares to anywhere at xmas (especially Australia!), waiting for clothes to dry in cold weather, changing skidded out tyres knowing I should just stop fscking around and save the rubber, all cars within 20k of London, all cars with one passenger and no goods on-board, people with more money than me, having no showers at work so I have to sponge down and change in a toilet cubicle, surgery, shite Aussie beer, football (AFL and soccer and bum sniffing), people who steal stuff, taxes, property prices, property talk, taking 3hrs to get 10k to Heathrow by pubic transport, tight undies, english people correcting me whenever I pronounce anything like an Aussie, my own lack of motivation, the lack of pancakes in London, bendy buses, airport security procedures, mess (even though it's my fault), the fact that I have 50 things to do at work and yet I'm typing this huge list instead! I think I should stop now.. maybe see someone for some professional help.. ;-)

31trum maybe he shops here

If you ever end up living in Oz - Phantom Cycles are great! Highly recommendedededed!

RPM I'm selling minimalist top tube protectors like this:

£120 each. bargain

Do you work for Evans or Condor? ;)

velocity boy: Those Michelins are race tyres yeah? They're not meant for riding around town on. Try some Vittoria Rubinos. Or is it just coz they is yellow? :)
My tyres are almost through the canvas and yet no p_nct_re. Must be due for one tonight then!

How can you lot complain about the rain when you live in Lonond?!?!

Alex What about mudguards? Do those little numbers that attach to your seatpost work? Is it does anyone like any specific brand or model? Most of the ones I see seem to tbe the fat MTB type.

I use the 'rat tail' type on the fix because full guards wouldn't fit (track bike). It stops you looking like you crapped yourself and keeps your bag dry but other than that, everything else gets wet. E.g. I rode to hospital this morning = dry. When I left, without mud-guard, my arse is now looking like I sat in a puddle.

I know you didn't just type them out.. which means you googled for the exceptions. Nerd! (says the guy who just bought a 300gb NAS and spends more time with computer than girlfriend and bike combined) :P

These would be what you are talking about, on LCS:

Anything in 56cm Jos? The Raleigh bores me (oops, i'm gonna die tomorrow now I've said that!)

Are you doing just fixed gear stuff?

I hope they don't catch the guy.

No, actually, I hope that Mr Sokol gets to break the pig's fscking scull open in some back alley.

Angry? Much?

photoben Just spoken to my mate and he's busy doing his final show for his art degree so the Colchester ride won't be till mid/late June. I'll keep you all posted.
Trains heading east are usually all bike friendly. I used to live in Col, aand never had a prob putting my bike on the train in the last four years.

Do you just all roll up and buy tickets? Is there a limit to the number of bikes they'll let on the train? Just thinking about a bunch of us coming back by train..

I've had one of those sitting in the cupboard for, damn, must be 8 months or more now! I really should fit it and see what it's like.

As you can probably guess.. I also am quite partial to the Belgian brews.
cocks head and watches flashback bubbles appear to happier, warmer and drunker times

Waitrose supermarkets.

I'm serious! If you want Belgian beer to take home, Waitrose have quite a range.
Well, mine does. West-side! Full of knobby imported beer drinkers! :D

Well, if we're moving to people..

I was almost doored by Elle McPherson.

I hope those rivets are BELOW the leather line... ouch!

Oh, those distances were from my place out West, sorry for worrying anyone ;)

Southend comes up as 96k (60mi) in google maps, Colchester 120k (74mi).
I'd like to do both actually, seeing as I rarely venture outside London.

Do you guys generally ride back or train back? I've not tried getting my bike on any UK trains yet - I'm betting it's not painless?

Shimano were supposed to be good for wider feet. I have wide (and long, actually) feet so err.. yeah.
The SIDI trend didn't make it to Oz I guess so I'll stick with shoes that fit (or in the case of the Nike's - shoes that are frickin cheap!)

I booked my ticket on the bus trip back yesterday. Early-bird price until the end of May.
I was going to sort out a train from Ipswich (another 40k away) but the hassle of it all made me choose the bus back.
I'll be doing it on my ill-fitting blue Ribble road bike, most likely, with Dinotte LED for lighting and maybe a bag for clothes, batts, food, spares, etc.
I thought it was 200k not 170k but, whatever. Been doing 100k+ rides on weekends with Willesden CC so tacking on another 100 won't be too bad.. ha!
