It is a company BD/marketing even. I was just hoping someone from here might have been invited so I would feel less lonely in those 4 hours...

Has anyone been on this one?
It will be my second year, I was riding the only track bike if you where out there last year.
Might bring my TT this year if the weather is good. Aint gonna be riding that in the rain.Aiming for 3:40, too optimistic I recon!

^ better still have legislation that includes subcontractor activities outside the site. Some qualification or track record.
-
^^ Agreed, I think it should.
I guess we have all seen this:
-
If there are strict Health and safety regulations on large construction site, budget for training, qualifications, regulations, speed limits on different vehicle types, why does this not extend outside the site?

i have only read 1Murakami book (DanceDanceDance i think it was called)
very odd, but wholey enjoyable.Is there any recommeded order to his stuff, or just grab what ever i see and read that?
I am quite surprised, no one is mentioning the wind up bird chronicle.
Has anyone read Eat and Run or Born to Run? Have been highly recommended to me. they any good?

Get hold of Borges's short story collection Fictions (the early Giovanni Trans.), if you can; *The Garden of Forking Paths section *holds an assemblage of inspiring short stories, with my personal pick of the bunch being the end story of the same title. [Edit. Just seen your input on this Tomasito - Sorry, I missed your post.]
Just finished Dino Buzzati's The Tartar Steppe, a somewhat abstract and enigmatic representation of self-examination and the unfathomable. If anyone else has read it I'd love to hear your opinion. Before that was Murakami's *South of the Border, West of the Sun *which I felt accommodates for a valued read just as much, if not more, than his more read titles.
Currently reading Frederic Raphael's The Glittering Prizes which was written for a BBC miniseries in the late seventies. It chronicles the lives of several cambridge students, namely Adam Morris: a satirically protrayed Jewish writer who iconoclastically characterises the sharp and witty intellect and pretensions of those from his generation. The first half of the book was enthralling but it only seems to be drifting further and deeper out from that point of high tide.
I'm regrettably dallying my way through the heavy likes of The Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Buglakov's The Master and Margerita, but I'm afraid they will remain shelfbound a jaunt longer because I really want to read Jean-paul Sartre's Nausea. What a mess.
Read the Master and Margarita, was really good. But I like surrealism as a form of art so i was bound to like it.
Read a couple of years back Nausea and it is so strong that it affected my day to day life. Suggestion, read it when you are in a good place... Same with Straw Dogs.
Reading "This Human season" now. Quite enjoying, light and easy read.
let me know what you think of Nausea if you ever get around reading it...

i wonder by how much the rate of ss vs fg has changed since 2005...
another interesting one would be the fluctuation of the money spent /spent on rather than count of bikes.

Great commitment to a excellent cause.
May I start the bidding with one paperclip?
Excellent comment! Still lolling...

Ah and it is Alex. Stupid ap8006 sounds like a robot.
-
^^^^ sweet! Will make sure I do. Should be back by the end of April. Am in Doha now. I also know a park where BBQs are allowed.
@31 I know my way around the kitchen, how come, you thinking of a cycling cook off? -
deserved that alright :)

@ada
just another guy with fixie that lives west and was thinking of joining in for a drink? -
^ sounds reasonable... I was doing quite well and then it hit me quite abruptly. Strange I can usually recover after a couple of minuted on a slower paste.
I had some pasta maybe 2.5 hours before. Might have also been the sleep deprivation. Stupid 5am wake ups.
Running keeps me sane!
Thanks cofewanda!
-
^ fully aware I am not a regular and am probably just causing trouble again, how does the ship sound? It's in wandsworth just on the river so SW but the beer garden and the pub is spacious. The burgers there are super.
anyhow looking forward to joining in as soon as I am back in London!

Question for all of ya
have been going for runs lately as cycling is not an option in this forsaken country.
Aim was 13k in 1h:05 from 1h:08 same run on Tuesday.
Last couple of days the temperature has jumped up from 19 to 26 Celsius.
I had a slow first mile (traffic) and was pushing to catch up.
Around the 7th Km i started getting dizzy so I thought I would take it easy and after another Km had to slow right down. In the end I had to stop for 4-3 min, not to catch my breath but to prevent black out. the rest of the run was a torture. Total time failure @ 1h:13
I had around 2L between 4 and 1h before the run and had a 550ml bottle with me.I guess I am about to ask why and how do I prevent it...

When it comes to brooks I hear the more used it is the better but i do find it hard to believe.
-
Sorry very new to this, still trying to find my way around.
Is it English make? I hear the best ones are being manufactured in Taiwan these days. Italy has always been up there but it will cost you an arm and a leg.
-
Thanks @apollo. Yea Clara I am happy to take the chainset alone. Will PM.
-
Dibs mate, pm you shortly

coin porn.
I could watch it flip for hours.
