CC Jodrell Bank Run Spring 2012 - SUNDAY 22nd April

[ColinJ]

Come to think of it on Fossy's list we are described as Jinxes and on Colin's ride as cheats so I'm also miffed.

It weren't me guv ...

I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft... As for me, give me a fixed gear!

 

[totallyfixed]

I'll take that as a compliment, 45, I wish.

 

[fossyant]

Oh, one thing I can guarantee, the roads are worse than the last time totallyfixed and dr pink came up for a ride.

Bet it rained then an'all

 

[fossyant]

Bet it rained then an'all

Usual weather..... damp, cow poo, mud...

Went to the Spinney Cafe though.

 

[totallyfixed]

Well the invite is always there to come and ride in Rutland, uber smooth roads, little traffic and excellent cakes, if we can make the journey......

I was quite shocked to find out your age tf, thought Fossy was the old man of the cc rides

*according to Dan-bo

I indeed do plan to do more of this. Keeping the family happy at weekends though - but there may be a way... weekend away, hotel, I run off for a few hours. ?????

I'll 'ave im , no I wont.... In the cadence thread, Dan said he's uses bigger gears now, yes just one thigh is double both my thighs - I've tried chasing him when he gets the power on (best bike as well)..I lost.

42 catch me if you can. You'll see the grey streaks in my hair first.

Ha ha - I remember that!

Dan-bo to me (aged 55 at the time): "Fossy is getting on a bit now - he must be nearly 40!"

 

[fossyant]

Right, time to unleash the secret detour on Sunday, up Blaze Hill !

I was joking, that should make you feel better.

Steve H who did Colin's century ride came down to Rutland to stay over Easter, I know of the place he stayed at but no idea of price etc. He had his family with him and seemed to enjoy the visit, but plenty to see around here.

Right, time to unleash the secret detour on Sunday, up Blaze Hill !

Is this doable on fixed?

 

[fossyant]

Is this doable on fixed?

No ! Unless you like the sight of kneecaps rolling back down the hill. The little sting in Kerridge is enough. Blaze is a cracking climb, but not on fixed.


I'll 'deliberately' get 'lost' if this lot keep it up about my age

i seem to remember that one occasion being a downhill, where I have an obvious advantage
