Love this idea Velocio, solves the puzzle of which club I wanted to join especially as the motto "Fuck it, I might as well give that a try" was my exact stand point. I'm gonna be fat and slow but man I still wanna race!

Being a rookie I need to ask if anyone knows how late into Autumn the HHV velodrome intro sessions run?

The only Indian I remember passing was in Sudbury just after the river........ if its that one it was on Cross Street near the Olde Bull pub. A quick google reveals not much else, and it was 2am so might've hallucinated/imagined/dreamed of a curry if i was hungry........

Fuuuuuugg - this backpack chat just reminded me i need to clean my camelbak which undoubtedly by now has probably spawned e-coli and legionaires in this heat.........

When I saw that guy I did the biggest maniac grin ever, I must have looked like some kind of psychopath. He didn't have tea when i saw him, but he was pointing the riders out to his cat, who looked nonplussed. What a dude.

Pretty sure he was more of a psychopath being up that early on a sunday with an evil cat on his shoulder, lives in the middle of bumfugg, perhaps looking for a weakened rider for his next meal............oh the things that went through my mind that morning!

TIme to play spot the forum cap.

my DD flickr set

Nice set Fasih, you seemed to have stalked me and my 3 mates without knowing for almost 18 hours at the beginning and the end (me in the Milltag DD top & yellow lid, mate in a Sky top and another with a green and orange crumpler).

My first DD, epic experience. About 7hrs 45mins in the saddle and somehow 4 hours of stoppages?! My personal highlight that I haven't read anyone else mention yet was the curt but polite "Good Morning and Good Luck" in the drizzle at about 5:30am near Coddenham (maybe) from a large older gent in his front garden wearing a faux maroon velvet dressing gown, mug of tea in one hand, stroking his cat on his shoulder with the other.......surreal Blowfeld/Hitchcock moment........

The low point was definitely the 3:50am puncture for my buddy who was pretty swift at initially changing the tube and then:

"Uh, this pump doesnt seem to work"
"Try mine"
"yeh, this doesnt seem to work either........?!?!?....."
"Mate, perhaps that tube around your neck..."
"Yeh"
"...the one that looks nice and new and has talc on it and a shiny valve....."
"Yeh"
"...maybe, just maybe, thats the one you should have put in, not the one you just took out that had a massive nail in it.........."
"ah...............yeh........."

Couldn't hate him though, poor sod lost his wallet between the Axe and Compasses and the Weston Cafe in Sudbury, but in true DD style he just got an email this morning from a rider who found it!

Wish I had spoken to more of the many forum capped people I saw, a mixture of fear, tiredness and general lack of good chat put me off. Only person I managed a quick chat with was dglshrn, spotted purely for his wonderous Indurain jersey as seen on p14 of this thread - even more amazing in the flesh - massive rep'.

Big respect to all those who did it fixed -your all fuggin nuts and missing out on some epic downhill bombing - into Sudbury especially.

See you all again next year (or before?) I'll leave you with a link to my favourite photo I've found so far (is bellyendiott on here?) - sums up everything about the coach back perfectly.

Hurrah! Has yours arrived now?

Hullo MM, yeh it arrived a week ago, sorry for late reply been away with work - well chuffed with it!

For those wanting a nice pub stop pre-SibbleH, I rode out to Dunmow and back in last Saturday's heat sweating like a pig and stopped for rehydrating ale at the Axe and Compasses which is on the B184 after Leaden Roding & about 4 miles before entering Dunmow. The nice landlady said she'll be staying open late with a special stack of banana's and Mars Bars to snack on as well as fine ales and proper scrumpy ciders.

Map and website here

Ride, beer, ride, beer, ride, beer, ride, beer,beer,beer.......ride.

Breaking my DD cherry after many many many years of having to work in motorsport on the same weekend - looking forward to seeing a few of your dope fixed and SS rides on the way, I'll be pussying out on that front and taking my geared Cinelli.

Getting excited, say hello if you see a fat lad in the milltag DD top puffin' along on an alu italian number......

^ Went off radar for a while and missed that then, still a good giggle. Which one you you bought that beast then?

Weird bit'ser, weird setup with bloody long seat post but a HED3 front and mind-fuggin' rear disc from '93

Fixed-Gear-Single-Speed-Bike54cm-Carbon-HED3-Tri-spoke-Front-Wheel

Not LFGSS related and unfortunately its ended - still worth taking a look at, stunning.........be prepared to gaze at something amazing we all missed out on, and the description needs to be read in full to full understand what you could have won.......!!

Mercedes-E320-Cdi-7

ugly wheels but dura ace non the less (rest of 7700 is my favourite dura ace group)

Thought it would be boom on a new HHSB project I am contemplating. Just paid £61 for it delivered after last minute bidding frenzy - got caught in the heat so hope I didnt just get mugged.

Shimano Dura Ace front wheel that I have'ney seen before, any thoughts? 1hr26mins to go.....£20!

Hello matey, the black raleigh track frame - any size info?

Thankyou please.
