Bonnet looked fucked. Think he was the first one to go down loosing the front wheel, or that could have been another FDJ rider...

He must be so fucking tempted for a day off

That is a vertical wall @ 22miles. Lol

piss break on a 40 mile ride in Northants

Climb out of Tosa looked way steeper than it was when the F1 cars used to do it!

Not sure how you worked that out- The P1 engine is totaly different to the MP4 and the hybrid system is questionably superior to the Porsche 918 system with more operating options. If your talking about a bolt on hybrid system then the Ferrari is surely the one which fits the description best? Its basically just a small KERS system on the back of the gearbox and in no way is superior to the Mclaren system. Even Ferarri say it isnt a full hybrid car like the Mclaren and Porsche.

Makes my 50miles for the weekend look a bit lame (was windy though). Was that in big groups or mostly solo?

Did you not read the post I replied to? Was just trying to give some context to it.

@bothwell: So one rule for you and another set of rules when its you on the receiving end. Nice one.

No just sayin not every woman may feel the same.

Actually posted in here by accident (from 'todays posts') thinking it was in the LFGSS main section. After having abuse thrown at me and called a troll for having a slightly different viewpoint, its probably best I dont visit these parts again. Peace out.

I did read the supporting material but it was largely based on people shouting abuse at women, which I wasn't talking about.

Basically men and women on bikes occasionaly get street harassment from twats and ofcourse are taken differently by each person, male or female.

Just because a man says something to a woman you infer that it is always worse than vice versa just by playing the sexism card. I know
women who wouldn't get more bothered by some bloke shouting about there arse than I would. Some people can shrug it off, and some people have to make videos about how it has made them feel inferior and how they demand to be treated with more respect.

So every bloke who makes a comment at a woman on a bike is somehow a rapist in wating?? It can actually be meant as a compliment!

Its abuse if it is something abusive. Something like 'nice arse' isnt abuse. Its just a comment.

I accept it probably gets very tiring if it is constant and can see why youd get pissed off with it but just saying sometimes it is just a harmless comment so shouldnt be met with giving the person the finger ect which is likely to invite confrontation.

Obvs threatening stuff like touching your bike / arse ect is not cool...

The comments you describe I dont think can be described as sexual harassment. Fair enough when physical contact is involved, then that's ott but not just light hearted comments?

Ive had quite a few of the standard lycra based comments (sometimes a 'nice arse' if im lucky) which I would ignore or just say the usual thanks with a thumbs up. Maybe its different for a bloke I dont know, but I cant help thinking people take some stuff too seriously.

Head badge rep

Nice bike and good gear set-up (used mirage 9 speed for years). Have you got a measurement from the tip of the saddle to the center of the bars? cheers

Should still use big citroens for stuff like P-R

Where do you get those Fiat shorts? Want

:(

Selling these which I bought in April this year. Used about 20 or so times Id imagine. Always wear shoe covers so very little wear and just the usual slight scuffs on sole. Just slightly too slim for my feet.

Looking for £70 posted.
Thanks, Tim

Valverde's off the back though, which has cheered me up.

me too :)

but they can run lower tyre pressures so...

Minimal difference I would think, tyre pressures are alot just personal preference.

Do the lighter riders tend to go down easier in slippery conditions compared to their larger counterparts?

In general yes. Less weight on tyres

Yeah, cos look how well he coped with wet conditions in a GT.

True but look how good he was at P-R.

Should have brung Wiggo. Sky_Dickheads
