[Closed] PSA: Cyclescreen, Bristol, 18-21 August

I'll be wearing a pink carnation x x

I'd prefer you carried it in your teeth. Thought I might regret that bit. You should come visit though.

Mr Darcy, I am seriously considering it. Are you proposing some sort of bicycle riding on one of the days as well?

I think it could be fitted in...possibly do the new trails in Ashton Court or a road ride if Jimmers comes.

oooohhh... this has got all the workings of a great plan.

[tannoy] James to the forum, James [/tannoy]

Rollapaluza on as part of it as well. Get down and see if you can beat the hip fixie kids!

there is a invite thing throu facebook,me and a few from bmbc will be attending if a ride is warented it shouldent be hard to organise

Hmmm.. that does look good! Ta for the tip.

Looks great, I'll definitely be around for that, especially if there's riding!

I'll be there.. Along with a few of the VC Bristol aiming to trounce the trackdropout boys 🙂

18th i'm going to be playing with jedi up in herts.... as it happens i have the 19th off and mrsconsequence is away in italy staying with some italian hunks...

THIS HAS THE MAKINGS OF A SEXY PARTY

Woo...this could indeed be a Big Bristols Partee.

There are some excellent films on too.

i'm up for life cycles on friday night, not too keen on driving back friday night though. yeti, fancy acting out my driving miss daisy fantasy?

i'll lend you the chauffeurs hat 😈

Looks pretty cool that one doesn't it.

There's a YHA a 2 minute walk from where the cinema is...and lots of cheap hotels.

Have you seen Life Cycles?.....your pretentious-o-meter will explode.

😐

Ew...it's like that is it? I'd heard good things about it...fleck!

i've just upgraded mine though jamie, had to increase its capacity now i own an apple product 😆

tricky - from what I remember, you are the only rider in VC Bristol who is worth putting on rollers to compete! I think even tall, overweight, unfit mountain bike riders had faster qualifying times 😀

For me, the voiceover made me want to cut my ears off. Lovely music/footage though.

i'll take my new ipod tough 4th generation and listen to some music you've probably never heard of whilst watching the film, if there's wifi i'll send ironic updates via twitter.

Ok, I think I'd still give it a chance though on the presumption that the voice over might be different for the film...will check that out though.

Yep, music's good.

Have you not heard? Si off of webbs is seeing a resurgence. He came 9th at castle combe. To be honest, there's some ruddy stiff competition turning up to this event. There's a kiddie in the club that regularly pushes 225 on his turbo!

just watched the trailer and im liking the look of that

I'll be there (Lifecycles & the Cyclocross film), looking decidedly non-hipster-ish.

Ah, so people are talking about this on here too...

Lifecycles isn't that great IMO, but driving Phil around the country to meet up with more STWers will be.

I really want to do a ride as part of this... possibly a road and a dirt ride!

we could meet in reading then scoot down the m4 yeti? i can leave my car at work instead of you coming all the way to mine to meet up....

although if you're wanting to 'road it up big stylee' then it means i'm going to be in everyone's way.... hmmmmm, we should discuss this when you're next over for a play me thinks

Happy not to do roadie stuff - plenty of fun off-roading within a shout of town. If Yeti wants to road it up, that could be arranged for a different day.

Jimmers should come whether he can ride or not 🙂

I actually much prefer riding me mountain bike, so all gooooooood.

I've got some great road routes around Bristol. Or we could pop over to ashton court for a spin

I was thinking AC and LW for the tourists trickydisco. Do you think there's enough there for a day's fun?

Anyone who is thinking of popping down to see Life Cycles tonight - don't bother unless you have pre-ordered a ticket. 🙁

It's sold out!

Well.. it's tonight (the rollapaluza racing that is). Around 50 riders registered

http://www.riderhq.com/events/rollapaluzacyclescreenbristol?p=1#men

Quite a few sponsored riders and loads of fixie hipster jean wearing trendy boys

Who's racing?

I'll be popping in for a look after the film.

Why not have a go?

Cos I don't want to be shown up by a fixie kid with a quiff. A girl of my age should retain her dignity where possible. Plus I'll be having a couple of Gems.

them fixie hipster kids got trounced when i had a go in december. 😈

Look on their face 🙂

I can't be there tonight (several thousand miles away right now) but I'd recommend having a go regardless of age, alcohol etc. I hadn't ridden a bike for 3 weeks and was out of shape when I tried it - and got 3rd fastest qualifying time!

Saying that - tricky can make his little stumpy legs go around veeeery quickly and if he doesn't win again, there will be words had. 😡

I'm working for Rollapaluza tonight. Just as well as I'd show myself up on the rollers.

Shaggy - ensure you ridicule anyone in VC Bristol kit - they deserve it.

I'll add them to the list. I offended triathletes and British Military Fitness people last time 🙂

*Bins his VC kit 😉

It's those fixie hipsters that need the ridicule!

I just wish I was going to be there to whup Si off of Webbs and watch Tricky storm to victory (no pressure).

Oh god.. Have you seen the start list? 3 wilier riders (elite), about 10 1st cat riders, 6 fixie riders who have been training and a pro bmx rider.

I wish you were there too.. Sioffof Webbs wants sub 22 tonight he says.

We got a young kiddie in the club that is gonig to storm it. He does 225-230 easily on his turbo

😯

Well I made it to the final out of 54 riders.got beaten at the 1000m distance (which is a world of pain) by a Polka dot jersey wearing guy with spd's and gloves.

Oh tootall. We were all in webbs tshirts

[i]The Cyclocross Meeting[/i] was a little gem of a movie. Even I enjoyed it, despite being too lazy to race in any kind of event - let alone CX.

Should have been banned - it is a bar event! Well done for your result. You must love that 1000m final.

Are you being cheered on by a rather slow Si off of Webbs there? 23.77? He should be ashamed.

Ha ha.. the fishing rod is out

[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/profile/sioffofwebbs ]He's joined STW[/url]

If he hadn't fallen in with the numpties of niche I would have held out some hope for him. However, the SingleSpeed SS will groom him further. He is lost.
