[Closed] CLIC24, who's on board?

I've always found the downtube to be a most effective front mudguard on my Five:-) Failing that there is the Freeride look of zip tying an old bit of inner tube between the crown and brace on the forks - very gash but suprisingly efficient!

No bush turds!

LOL

We might need it as its raining here in Street now.

Works fine on stopping mud on your face but your body will still get sprayed. I'm thinking, putting on soaking gear after a kip won't be nice!

What kip ? 😀

What kip ?

Well you know have to give you guys a chance to catch up with me 😛

LOL - adh, xc-steve pwned you there 😉

Looks like its stopped raining. I really should do some work and stop looking out the window worrying about it. 😯

Meh, if its too nasty, I may just carry straight on at Ellick House one lap, and put my feet up in front of the fire at the Pub in Rickford ... 😉

If any of you find yourself pelted with a flash gun while on a night lap - I apologise in advance for screwing up your night vision and hopefully I'll have an awesome pic of you to show for it afterwards!

And I apologise in advance for pelting you with flap jack/ energy gel / empty water bottle / what ever comes to hand.

Sounds good Gary as long as your get the second photo of me crashing!

Any other ride numbers? LVIS lot don't worry, I'll spot yer jerseys...

No promises though folks - guaranteed to be too lazy/tired/bored/injured/cold

I'm 363 if I have a jacket over my Vegas kit ...

KINGTUT - A combination of lousy weather, lousy fitness and 4-hour journey mean I am taking a raincheck on this weekend.

Thanks very much for the offer of the lift anyway, I hope fun is had by all.

Jon 🙂

I've gone with an inspired tyre choice of "what's currently on the rim". Anyway taking more tyres means less room for alcohol therapy. I'm just off to lie face down in the wet grass for a couple of hours to mentally prepare myself for what's coming 😉

God I don't envy you lot for the riding though I'm sure that everyone who follows the LVIS example will still have a brilliant time.

There was a massive rain shower as I was going through Long Ashton this morning (about 15 miles from the Mendips) - proper windscreen wipers on max speed and still not clearing the screen type stuff... Bring your mud tyres and crud guards and LOTS of spare kit 🙂

Good Luck all of you!

Number 372 and will be on a green Dialled SS.

All packed and ready to roll, it's only 20 minutes from my work and I finish at 3:30 today so I might be the first in the field or if the weather isn't too bad might do a quick spin of the course ( or if it is really hammering down I might just go home and come up in the morning).

I will be billy no mates this weekend so if I camp tonight and anyone needs an extra pair of hands, just look for a silver Seat Alhambra and a green dome tent (or someone sleeping in the back) and come over and ask, happy to help put up a tent or change tyres etc.

Lee

You may regret that Lee. If you have any involvement in the "tent of death" and "gazeebo of pain" that I have to put up. If you see a bloke beating his head against a silver x-trail while surrounded by random canvas, feel free to come over and help.

There will be beer 🙂

I've purchases a rear crud catcher, I never ever thought that would ever happen.

😳

Well at least you ride a bike that can't be made any uglier by the addition of it 😉

Mike, now you just need to replace some of that fancy drivetrain with some pauper-tastic XT kit and you'll be one of us. 🙂

You are all Doooooommmmmeed.

Mwhahahahahahaha!

Ha, my Five is going to look ghetto as with it's Cycraguard rear and down tube guards and some inner tube zip tied around the fork corwn 😀

Add skinny trailrakers and an overshoe clad rider - shexy!

Well at least you ride a bike that can't be made any uglier by the addition of it

I have to admit that I actually thought the crud catcher looked alright in situ, so perhaps their mutual ugliness produced some kind of synergy.

Anyway I only bought it as I don't want to ruin my Assos shorts.

😉

I figured that you were probably worried about clogging the breathing holes in your shorts...

No no, I've ditched the golf ball effect shorts for compression effect shorts, I felt it was the way forward.

Do you look like a roast joint now then? 🙂
