205 miles in a day (Tommy Godwin Challenge) - the Discussion thread

Chill out. You're not a moderator so don't act like one

Quite.

If there is to be a 'fawning posts only' rule in this thread, it can only come from the mods or management.

Closing in on 1500 miles for the year so far. That's three month's riding for me

Still, you don't tend to get many people in threads about the TdF complaining about the existence of the race, and how stupid anyone would have to be to devote their lives training for and riding it?

Anything that is at all positive is fawning?

Anything that isn't entirely positive is ....

Take a look at the state of the guys flat. It's just looks like an unhealthy obsession of someone who probably needed to find more balance and jot focus his entire life on Audax.

So glad i'm a heroin addict.

Seriously; why doesn't someone start a new thread for "news, updates, and positivity only"?
Maybe it should be over on the appropriate board though, i.e. Road Race/TT. This is the normally lighthearted café, and the OP did appear to invite discussion with this:

Not exactly easy but well doable, but every day for a year?!!!

Looks like a single bloke's flat to me. I see quite a few flats lived in by single blokes in the course of my work and lots look like this. If it's not bikes, it's motorbike bits, battle re-enactment bits, computer bits or whatever.
You should have seen the state of Hubster's place when I started going out with him

That was last year's mileage for me.

Not my work, wish it was, thought it appropriate with the way the thread had turned

And every mile a smile

The threads on yacf are less like the adults trying trying to have a conversation whilst the children try and get attention.

Goodness sake, this thread has everything from the inside of the fellas flat to the Nazi party in the 1930's. I'm thinking a lot of people want to get a bloody grip!
