Although on reflection this may be the best offer I have had in a while.

Hi bill I'll try and drop in, but I will have to join team green or white with the kickr. What course is it?

I will try and drop in too so just need to find the right team and see if we can keep the freight train at bay

 

[bridgy]

I'd be happy with that Geoff but I fear that getting the numbers might be a problem. Saturday ride usually not so popular. We can try though.
Anyone up for a TTT on Saturday?

Geoff, Bill - I am unlikely to be able to make it Saturday afternoon

Of course what we all really want to know is what is the poster behind the wheels at the top of the picture. Looks worryingly like a pair of meaty thighs.

You have good eyes, sir. Yes that is a 2006 workshop calendar. Rather silly of me to obscure the view with insignificant bike wheels.

Sounds like Team 2 would benefit from having you both on side, and Bill may be needed in Team 1 as Bridgy can't make it, especially after his stunning performance yesterday, on his new tyre!

What did people think of the course on Tuesday (Fuente), it looked a little boring to me, mainly gentle downhill, but the Handicaps weren't spot on so it was never close. Stage 2 should come active tonight, so either Fuente or Banff should be available. Otherwise, we could just run a stage out of the league, so even one of the Winter Cups would be possible.

90% Yes. Think I need to step down to the next team though.

I'm up to trying a TTT on Saturday, if popular and nothing else is preferred?

Sorry, I cant make Saturday (the rugby is on), I'm concerned that I would spill beer over the bike...

Personally I think there needs to be some uphill in the TTT, about 5% but not too long, some flat and a bit of downhill, as there are riders in each group who are stronger on different sections.
If you are looking at WC then stage 11 is available tomorrow if team cyclechat want to get names on the board early...

FWIW i not only don't particularly like downhill courses. Flat and then a gradient over 4%, ideally steeper perhaps with a bit of downhill?

Just had a close look at my tyre - covered in what looks like ridges of melted rubber! Think time for a change...

There is no excuse to use the U word here. If nothing else use the ! Symbol for the L's. Or better yet never mention uphi!! Again.

It's OK, there won't be a Blue Team, as everyone has stepped down into the Red Team, apart from Bridgy and Daddy, who aren't available, and AAAC, who could probably win on his own, but might struggle to cross the line three times...
