Yes I'm interested in how others do - I often look up results of events I've not done to see how people I know did, and people I know quite well do EL events, so I was hoping to see some of them in the results (as it turned out I didn't find any in those triathlons), and genuinely interested to see how njee compared. Not at all interested in what you did in other events though. <blockquote>Anyway while hardly elite athlete stuff, entering a tri for a laugh with no specific training or kit and winning a category is still not exactly bad news.</blockquote> Indeed not - good performance. Strange how you didn't mention it was just for a laugh and that there were other more serious categories when using it as evidence for baggies being performance clothing though. <blockquote>Baggies are more practical. </blockquote> Actually, no they're not - hence why the people winning the other categories at those events almost certainly weren't wearing them. njee20 on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436721 Wed, 19 May 2010 22:01:35 +0000 njee20 1436721@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ It's as funny now as it was then too! joolsburger on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436700 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:57:49 +0000 joolsburger 1436700@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Is as relevant now as it was then. firestarter on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436631 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:45:16 +0000 firestarter 1436631@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ if im riding with the brown barons i ride in baggies so as to hide my tool but if im out with the pink princesses i like to show it off and wear lycra <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> Surf-Mat on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436621 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:43:26 +0000 Surf-Mat 1436621@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Last week called - it wants it's joke back joolsburger on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436616 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:42:28 +0000 joolsburger 1436616@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <img src="http://www.wetherobots.com/comics/2007-12-07-Enormous.jpg"> MrSmith on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/8#post-1436605 Wed, 19 May 2010 21:39:30 +0000 MrSmith 1436605@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ maybe you should settle this by seeing who has the biggest penis?* *i don't care who it is.

Weird and stalkerish. Noticed it's not just me either - you like to "check up" on others. Anyway while hardly elite athlete stuff, entering a tri for a laugh with no specific training or kit and winning a category is still not exactly bad news. You may have checked my other events too - like coming 5th out of 130 on their coastal run. If not, you're slacking.

That's rather "stalkerish" activity.</blockquote> More a case of knowing njee's real name and being curious how he did - whilst I was there I thought I might as well check for winners called Matt, as I was sceptical about somebody winning a triathlon despite finding the time to put baggies on for the ride. Of course once I found you'd won the race which would be called "fun" at MTB events (aka the pothunters race), it was obvious you would be far from the fastest person at the event. Stalkerish? It's taken more effort to explain it than to do the research. convert on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1435081 Wed, 19 May 2010 15:07:03 +0000 convert 1435081@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ My rule for me.... Will it be a low speed mince - always casual (baggy) Will there be sections of riding/pushing through undergrowth, snagging clothing etc - baggy outer layer, lycra snags to fook. Will I stop and walk around with normal people (shopping etc) - baggy. Will it be high speed but mainly gravity assisted - baggy Else, lyrca rules - on or off road. A quick riding trip to NZ & Oz and riding on the continent has led me to believe that it's only in the UK (and possibly North America- havn't been there but you get the impression from the mags) where we are hung up on xc/trail riding in baggy clothes being the only way to do it. poppa on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434252 Wed, 19 May 2010 12:11:48 +0000 poppa 1434252@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Argh. poppa on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434219 Wed, 19 May 2010 12:05:34 +0000 poppa 1434219@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ From the article: <blockquote>Atherton wasn't happy that Moseley used a skinsuit, which being much more aerodynamic than loose clothing, would have given her an advantage.</blockquote> will on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434208 Wed, 19 May 2010 12:02:46 +0000 will 1434208@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> i really really hope matt and njee are racing at the same event this year! clubber on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434190 Wed, 19 May 2010 11:58:09 +0000 clubber 1434190@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Nope, UCI banned it... deemed to be bad for the sponsorship images of the sport... <a href="http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/uci-ban-skinsuits-and-open-face-helmets-for-mountain-bike-competition-19021" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/uci-ban-skinsuits-and-open-face-helmets-for-mountain-bike-competition-19021</a> poppa on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434186 Wed, 19 May 2010 11:57:35 +0000 poppa 1434186@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Nope, definitely a ban: <a href="http://www.bikemagic.com/gear-news/uci-bans-skinsuits-for-dh/6606.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikemagic.com/gear-news/uci-bans-skinsuits-for-dh/6606.html</a> <a href="http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/uci-ban-skinsuits-and-open-face-helmets-for-mountain-bike-competition-19021" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/uci-ban-skinsuits-and-open-face-helmets-for-mountain-bike-competition-19021</a> juan on "Are Roadies Odd?" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/are-roadies-odd/page/7#post-1434179 Wed, 19 May 2010 11:56:00 +0000 juan 1434179@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ I don't think it was a banning, but more a mutual agreement between the racers IIRC.
