Oh my god

Me in today's Guardian, lol

I worked at a shop in Camden market last year, the goths and neo-punks are long gone, it's just tourists now.

A friend just posted this on facebook, tis quite funny

I only understood half of this, sumo had to explain the glasses reference to me

EVERY month!

Cold!

This evening I had to go to Brighton to pick up a load of very rare and very valuable material of a certain iconic punk band for the exhibition I'm organising. I didn't get back to London until quite late so came straight home with it all.

There were two t-shirts included in the package and I may have tried them on and pranced around my bedroom and taken some mirror selfies.

Sick burn

yeah, for this reason I might prefer monthly > quarterly ? surely a majority of the c. 280 people signed up here will want to come to the first session, and that means more than half the list won't get inside for six months, possibly?

granted i go down to HHV regularly, so i may not be the median LFGSS user. but the HHV basic + intermediate + Monday race sessions probably get 100 different people per week on average.

It wouldn't be a training session though, it would be a club track meet with racing and spectating and fun, no? Considering that the LFGSS track day was a hotly anticipated event and only had just over 50 names down to compete I don't think we'll be too oversubscribed. Obviously having access to the velodrome exclusively will encourage more people to give it a go but I imagine the £90 induction fee will deter people who aren't serious about it.

In other news, when can we see the final jersey design? The suspense is killing me!

^^ Can't remember the name soz.

Probably spotted some other on here types in basic, but don't know who you are.

Me! I was the girl on the yellow Panasonic, testing out my new 91 gear inch set-up for racing later. Basics was supposed to be a gentle warm-up but ended up being quite fast!

Did surprisingly well at Velojam actually, was going to do Cat C/Novice because it was my first ever race but was put into Cat B by the coaches and came 9th out of 17!

Also won the 'most improved rider' prize which was a pair of ridiculous Oakley sunglasses!

In other news... you've got to be shitting me.

I really can't tell if that website is fake or not!?

Madness are bloody amazing. I've lost track of the number of times I've seen them live.

Good cycling music too. Good everything music!

Actually that was me....

Ooops! My bad, I thought you said 'M---Eamsey'...I was still a bit asleep. I'm not used to being up this early.

It's quite disconcerting when you're cycling to a meeting at 9am, waiting in traffic and someone on a boris bike turns to you and says "I've seen lots of pictures of your bike on the internet recently". Nice though, hello Eamsey!

^ I have this problem, but I solve it with a different invention called a hair band

Wow I actually feel a bit star struck having met someone off here 'on here'! I must surely now be an accepted member!

Ftfy

**Breaking Bad sort-of spoiler (but not really) if you're two seasons behind**

Inters was good too. I'm going to be at a loss of what to do with my weekends when the track closes.

Not really, I spend a fortune on food (especially lunch, damn you Whitecross Street food market), I just crave carbs.

Five a day is a good example of this, the real number should probably be higher than five, that being a number chosen because it seems achievable to the majority of people,

I average about 2 :(

^^^^^ Indeed. I ate a whole pack of Jammy Dodgers and a few chocolate hobnobs today but I'm going to the track tomorrow so it's all good

Here it is as I'm riding it currently (It's been a while because I wanted to take a photo of it in a new location but kept forgetting).

Swapped the saddle out because it was just too hard for my poor buns, for one that's a simlar shape but more padded.

The clamp on brake IS a faff to take off and put back on every time I go to the track but less fiddly than I thought. It still takes over 10 minutes though. And, even though there's fabric tape where the clamps sit, every time I have to twist them on and off I'm scared of scratching the paint.

I've got used to riding almost brakeless except for the odd moment where I'm going down a hill or a ped suddenly walks over a zebra crossing. But even when I go whole journeys without using it I'm still glad to have it because it means I can peg along long straight bits at a faster speed that I can comfortably stop quickly at, knowing that if some idiot did pull out of a side-street without looking I'd be able to use the brake.

Sooooo I am going to drill the forks. Andrew at lmnh says it's got enough meat in the crown, and he has access to a pillar drill, so possibly this weekend it will happen and at the same time I can finally get the headset changed to the Dura Ace one.

And I wrapped my first set of bars and I'm quite pleased with the result!

I'll be there!!!

To win the hottest girl prize.

Because nobody else will turn up.

And because I am actually a girl.
