I am giving up cycling now. How I can ever reach such heights as the penultimate page of Cycling Plus? Although I can lay claim to once beating Clive up Sawyers Hill in RP ,obviously he wasn't such a superstar back then in 2008.

Cyclefit sponsorship must be on the cards now ...

RIP Paul. A legend who never will be forgotten.

Noticed you were doing clockwise laps this morning Clive. Variety is the spice of life they say.
( I was in the car not on the bike as usual but will join you one morning soon.....;) )

Sick skills dude.

**Sunday 20th December '09 - The "Hansel & Gretel Follow The ****Seasonal Toast **crumbs" Ride

40 mile loop from Effingham Junction. Neither flat, nor strictly rural. Follow jonny (leader) and BMMF (back-stop)'s instructions where necessary.

Route is a secret.

Train Out - Waterloo @ 8.32am, arriving Effiingham Junction 9.24am

Train Back - Effingham Junction @ some time around noon (trains are :06 and :36).

£4.50 for Groupsave4, £5.95 for Network Card or Groupsave3.

jonny has requested that people bring "a mince pie, some fresh legs and the love of jesus in their pretty green eyes", though I would add it's a non-denominational ride, and as such, bumheads are more than welcome.

@ Ved - there you go ,I'm in . Ride out from RP?

Ved, what do you reckon? Shall I make the effort and come along. Can bring endless supply of mince pies.....

Was that you Jonny riding up past Effingham on sunday? I was riding back from Ranmore , cold and miserable.

So from what I gather they never made it to Windsor?

Turns out it was just me who made it. I was all set to give it a miss, then the rain stopped so I jumped on the bike guessing they were ahead of me . A 3 hour ride trying to find Clive and a bunch of GRPTs ( who by this time were at home)..

No "Dyno-bashing", no talkies.

Relax BMMF we're just having a bit of lfgss banter. Helps pass the day. Harmless.

Yeah, don't forget Zed "owns" the park these days..

Soon there will be a toll booth at every gate , mark my words...

Not now James, we're busy

Augusta , Georgia, late september , one Mr Brown's hot tempered.

I got some funny looks this morning, 33.2 mph on the flat with 60GI, still it's only 183rpm.

Ahem, of course I didn't do that whilst I was inside the park ;)

Was this on your fixed or are you now only training on your geared bike??

what about the other way round ? Slight downhill to help max the cadence.?

Obviously you weren't in the park when you hit 33mph but if you were looking to do some short sprint intervals in RP but at max cadence , where do you reckon the best section would be?

The Donahue is for the track only.
The Mercian is for everything else and it does have a brake.

Good work guys. When I looked out of my window towards the park and saw hailstones this morning I decided against a ride today. Will be out with you lot in the future no doubt.

I was stood next to James Martin last week , as I inadvertently walked into one of his book signings.

My initial thoughts was that he looked an incredibility smug twat as he tried to humour the long queue of slightly over weight women, as they waited for him to sign their book.

If only this had happened this week as I would have been more than happy to pass on the forum's regards.....

Trumpers cream , a decent brush and a Merkur and you can't go wrong.

Takes a bit time to get used to it , be prepared for a bit of blood....but once you have it dialed then you will wonder whats the point of a five blade when a single blade does it all and only costs 40p a blade.

I suppose I oughta keep the 12th free now ....a new tarck for the tarck day. 853 ftw.
Just need to find some legs to go with it now.

Nice to be there. Now I have bike should be a regular attendee.

Was about to shout , "do a skid " but then decided to pay more attention to the army of nodders that were cutting me up from every angle, which seems to happen every night on that bridge.

BDW , Putney Bridge, polo style.

^ Probably best BB gig I have been to. Astoria in c.96 would be a close second.
Best live performance would be Disposable heroes of Hiphoprisey at Bristol Uni in '91. TVs , angle grinders and just a incredible tight performance.

BDW // BLACK // XL
d.mac//CHARCOAL//L (will pay upfront if needed)

Overtook one of those orange hooligan bikes tonight near Chelsea harbour. Sounded like the guy was carrying a bag of spanners....I suppose he could have been a plumber but then again I don''t know many plumbers who wear chinos and deck shoes.

Jesus those bikes don't look they are going to last long if noises this one was making are anything to go by.

"Taking inspiration for his up an coming autumn/winter 09 collection from the cyclist and the path of commuting from the countryside to the city. Griffin is mixing country tweeds with urban city living, as the guys in Brick lane are bringing polo to their bikes in the East End, we are bringing the country to the city. Mixing technical fabrics with traditional wools to produce garments that have all the flexibility and functionality of a modern day cycling jacket but with the look of modern luxury sportswear."

So there you go,for 2009 its all about mixing your tweeds with your Brick Lane urban living, ....
