Right then, travel all sorted, I am heading down the night before with the camp'n crew. A friend of mine (Anna) will be coming along with her dog although will be taking walks rather than riding the randonee.

I've booked the Victoria train with the others.

I have a tent but it's bloody heavy, I'm thinking of getting a lighter one if i can get it in time.
Should be sweet though, I haven't camped for ages.

Slightly more optimistic weather report:

It wouldn't be a bank holiday weekend without some rain, eh?

Dibs on (9) 1A 8.5cm 1970s EX £18 - PM on it's way.

You've got mail, Saskia!

-40t 110bcd chainring, pref. shimano as it's for my deore DX triple, otherwise anything quality
-38t 110 bcd chainring, can be anything.

This thread is gold....

Seriously though when I had bullhorns I found a slight tilt downwards was best, along with a shorter stem than you would use for drops or risers.

I may well show up on a tourer tonight unless we haz TT action.

i may not be down now:-(
i cant take my house mates anymore = fight on its way.

Everyone knows that beer makes you fight better. Get tanked up and them have it out with your housemates in the street when you get home.

^^Ha! Were you on wingman duty?

I had a great morning, zooming throught the quiet city streets in the sun, no car driver aggro either. The sky is so goddamn clear an blue, and, there's no planes or jet streams!

Cans in the park are calling.

I didn't see this earlier.
Mint.

I'll take both, pm'd.

And who told me, that there's still a connection between the Old Ford and the Carpenters Rd?!
Got friggin' lost in between some warehouses and moored boats - cut off from civilisation by a high fence of the Olympic site!
It took me an hour to get home. I had to go through Hackney Wick (at least it wasn't Homerton at midnight, because I'd probably come back without a bike).

Twas me, but carpenters road has been commandered for the olylympics. There is a route but you have to do a lenght of the A11. I'll try and explain better later on.

You have a PM, Sir.

Just use a hammaphor.

ha!

You're on a single speed?

Nope, my flop side is an 18 tooth freewheel. Was looking to install an 18 tooth fixed cog instead. The flip side is a 19 tooth, might be a bit spinny for the drag sprints tomorrow.

Did the marshalls reccy have marshalls? And were they trained? On a reccy-reccy?

Yarss indeedily. Yarss indeelily. We have to reccy a minimum of 3 times so we know the route backwards.

Easts is dead.. Long live Easts..
I guess it's not really a tt if we all start at the same time.

Was an epic race, but. 2 mins 21, with a photo finish on the line!! I didn't think I was gonna catch you.

Come along next week/whenever. All welcome.

A great night. I am definitely still pissed.
TT fail when I discovered my left toeclip was hanging on by one loose screw and I could not get my foot in. I'm sticking to that excuse. I woulda smoked you all. I'm well known for being fast. you ask anyone.

It was defo a lively one. I agree with chainbreaker, you pulled away so hard off the line your super high tensile toeclip bolts just couldn't take the strain...drag sprinters, look the fuck out, Blue Quinn is gonna smoke yo' ass

Easts rules, OK.

Dibs on cranks please.

PMing now.

Bite me both!

Do you have a stunt double or something?

On a more serious note.....
does anyone have a SS free wheel removal tool I can borrow before the drag sprints?

My GI will be run what me brung me thinks. And it's top secret....

I'm on the tweed run marshalls reccy on weds so I don't think I'll get there (traf sq.) in time as we start at 6.30. Will be at easts after though.

Dibs on Cinelli 1A stem please.

If i get there and its cancelled i'l just have to swallow my pride and drink in the bloody easts pub

ha! Couldn't stay away forever eh?

Forecast on BBC says a break about 7 and then more rain after that. Not only that tomorrow's a bank holiday and there's loads of other tings going on, holidays, relatives etc. Peeps will have more free time next week me thinks.

This sounded a right good laugh!?

You would be correct, Beastanator.

he rode the cake over !

Skillz, was proper delish

all that build up, for two posts. musta been great......zzzzzzzzzzzz

We had a great time because you weren't there.
