Team BKool CycleChat

[Brusgaard]

Ill join at the start if anyone else is in. I may be able to best my Thursday time.
9 minutes slower than my Feb. of 2023 time.
59 minutes vs 50.

I'm having dinner at 7 PM local, so have to finish it in around 40 minutes. :-)

[Ryan lawman]

Out fishing today. If you or @Brusgaard want to set up for next month please

Don’t wait for me. I see @Ryan lawman in the velodrome

I have not been to well the last few week, and as a UPS driver i have been busy at work . Just trying to get back in to it with a few laps in the velodrome. Not up to racing Standards at the moment.

You're just like Santa. Delivering presents to everyone. I can't imagine how busy this time of year is for you.
I do see you are doing gravel rides every day. Rest up after next Wednesday and get ready for the January league.

Afternoon people
I have joined up with the festive challenge on indieVelo consisting of 10 races over the next ten days
I won’t be able to do this and the bkool league so I am going to bow out
I won’t try to persuade anyone to think about it as I know this is a bkool chat but I also didn’t want to just disappear without saying anything as you have all been so accommodating and friendly and I want to be able to keep popping up . I do enjoy the bkool racing but it’s not worked out that I can ride with others ( partly me not making certain times) and I need pushing as I am basically a lazy sod if I can get away with it , hope numbers pick up and health all improves to those I’ll at mo , will keep looking in on here and merry Xmas all

 

[Randyberlin]

You’ll be welcomed back with open arms in January after your indievelo fling. Obviously an innocent brief flirtation.

Seriously a question for everyone is if there is a better time/day for everyone.
The numbers have been dwindling for a lot of different reasons like travel , illness etc.
But I’m optimistic they’ll bounce back.

I must apologies for my disappearance this year. For years my hip joints have stopped me doing a long list of sports and this year it included cycling, which thankfully had previously been perfectly ok. I began to hurt during and after cycling sessions. I therefore made the decision to get my hip joints replaced.
This was done 2 weeks ago. All went well and I am making remarkable progress. I hope to get back on a bike in the new year and will gradually build myself back up. I look forward to cycling alongside @Randyberlin, and others!
Happy Christmas to all, I've missed you!

Is it cheating being bionic ?
The lengths people will go to! I heard there’s even someone who had a souped up heart fitted !

Happy Christmas and good presents with the new hips

 

[Randyberlin]

Merry Christmas everyone. @shimceltic Nice to see you back in the saddle.
@Rod McG
Look at @Norry1 ’s hip recovery. He may have some tips. He is back better than ever.

 

[shimceltic]

Happy Christmas all. @Randyberlin my knee is still sore so I think it's more than muscular. Would take a year to get a diagnosis so just gonna have to ride!
