Server capacity generally grows a bit faster than our ability to clog it up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law

I know that, but that doesn't mean we should squander it. Anyway my real motivation is just tidying up after myself.

Stupidly I have amassed numerous for sale, freecycle, wanted threads etc over the years. Now i realise that was daft, can i get them deleted or can they only be 'closed'? I don't like to think i'm gonna be clogging up the server for eternity.

totally better than losing by big margins like i do :-)

congrats on a cracking ride.

that's a good point, its on small lanes so there could easily be points which will flood. Maybe I'll just HTFU and ride over anyway. I do like a good race in the rain.

How bad does it have to rain to cancel a TT? I've no idea if its worth heading to the Brickendon League tonight or not.

I've only ridden it once before so have no idea if they cancel in the wet or not.

i have an old wheel which has either a 32 or 36h mirage hub on it. it would need new bearings. PM me if your interested and i'll dig it out and check the details, its yours for cheap

Islington cc are a newly formed club. i rode with them yesterday and they seem to be a nice bunch. it looks like they are planning lots of local events, and are really enthusiastic. The crits are part of a wider cycling festival being organised by them and the local borough councils to take place in Finsbury park at the same time.

i'm going to be away on the 16th but i'd totally recommend getting involved or entering a race from what i heard yesterday.

nice one! next time...

This is a good resource on London air quality/health

ouch!

The corner at the southern end could be interesting too.

You then get the other end of the scale, which are 'X-rated' events, which are completely unsupported. May well start in a cark park, commercial controls only (e.g. at garages/supermarkets), getting receipts from cashpoints as controls etc.

The best controls are the quiz questions, "how old is the school house in such and such a village", "What is the name of the Pub on the B11233" etc. You have to go there find the building/sign or something with the answer on it to prove you completed the route.

Where's that?

Come on people, if you're going to post a pic at least say where it is!

Mine was grabbed from steephill.tv its the tour of Romandie, here is the original caption.

[INDENT]The Tour of Romandie is known more for its narrow roads (some built by the Romans) than serious mountains. There are always several good scenic shots each year of the great recreational cycling roads in western Switzerland, This one is from the 2008 race near Sierre.[/INDENT]

Just about to buy BC license. Any reason to pay the extra for gold membership?

i've never bothered with gold, i cant remember but maybe it has better cover for riding/racing abroad?

That is definitely a success on your first crit. I've never raced at Mallory but most of these motor circuits are tough places to keep your position, especially if you have to swap sides of the buch every lap to shelter from the wind. Master that and stay in the top 15 riders on the last few laps and your in with a shout. Sounds easy right.

Thanks!

maybe that's the problem

comfort eating helps, in my case at least.

This has now gone. Sorry to disappoint those who missed out.

aesthetic aerodynamics > actual aerodynamics every time :-)

They were only a little pricier than the px carbon clinchers when I bought my pair (from px, no less). Preferred them because a) shimano and b) bombproof.

good reasons, I just don't got £400-500 to drop on wheels. maybe i'm being tight.

I got a PM from DonTheDragonWilson first but will keep both of you posted incase that falls through. I hope that's fair.

^ shimano rs80 c50s

ahar, de-stickered. i thought the hubs looked shimano but didn't recognise the rim. I was hoping they might be something cheaper i could ask about in case they were affordable and good. cheap-light-strong choose two etc.

that's a fancy enough machine, what are those wheels?
