davidc - tyre knobbling? Is that where we go and stick knobbles on their tyres to slow them down? We could add some cheap s'penshun at the same time....

Hadn't thought of it that way, but I know that if I put the knobblies back on my mtb I slow down by an average 2mph, and get tired faster so good idea there - it's more benign than what I had in mind

I trust that it's full sus you're proposing - maximum energy loss.

D'you think they'd notice if our local spy sneaked in at night and swapped their bikes for £80 BSOs? 'cos I think that's what it'll take for CC to catch them at the present rate of progress.

Edit: That's BSOs with the forks fitted by ASDA btw.

We had some bent bikes dumped by our compound today, and I carried one inside, and could barely lift it! We could use that one, I'm sure we could bend the frame and forks back to nearly straight, if we tried....

Do you think Australians will have the concentration span to keep this up for 12 months?

What else is there to do when one is a convict? I'm sure they can.

I've signed up to the site and am awaiting my email confirmation, but as it's only commuting miles it'll only be about 200 - 300 a month (assuming I get round to logging them) and the occaisional 60 miler (charity rides and/or CC rides).

I'll attempt to join the team whenever I get my confirmation, btw.

Pleased to be back commuting again this week, intend to slowly build up the mileage before touring later this year.

Nearly taken out by a light van on the way home yesterday, van ended up sideways across the carraigeway right behind me !!

It's competitive, we're a bunch of poms - Yes.

I'm sitting here looking out of the window at the rain thinking, 'nah!'

This time last year I was cycling 33 miles per day.

I'm rubbish in 2010!

 

[redflightuk]

Me too Helen. I'm about 60 miles down on this time last year.

 

[Auntie Helen]

I'm about 500 miles down already. Argh!

Still not venturing out today as I have an annoying cough. But I'm bored out of my brain...

Logged 6 miles for the velodrome on sunday. Thats 40 laps, i am sure i did closer to twice that but as i didnt keep count i have erred on the side of caution.

 

[Garz]

Hmm last year I recall it snowing around february so not much difference except it being severe earlier. The cold has lasted a long time though now that I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't get on the steed..

Greetings CycleChatters...

Since your MCL admin, Auntie Helen has provided us over at the BV forums with a target for our whinging pom and bad beer jokes, as the BV forum MCL admin, I thought I should drop by your forum too.

Feel free to direct any Fosters or Monigue jokes in my general direction as I'm sure you require some form of distraction from the endless monotony of having to ride on the spot indoors. In the mean time, I will be out riding my bike somewhere in the 15 hours of daylight that we have along one of our stunning coastal roads.

(actually, I'm going to spend the next 8 hours in the office pushing papers and twiddling spreadsheets)

Bring on the competition!

PS: Can anyone explain why Cav rubs his nipple like this?

I think he's saying 'that Mcewan is a right aussie tit, he thought he could beat me........'

Enjoy your cycling for now mate, unless it starts raining there soon the only way you'll be getting around is by camel.

Oh and btw

No indoor velodromes?
