Is it me or is there a lot of it about at the moment??Shirley we should all be out actually riding? (says he on a sunny sunday arvo).
Or is it confined to the same 'characters' 😉
What's Surrounded by Zulus done now?
I am not covinced its trolling....some of the recent posts on here make me think STW is inherited by excitable teenagers.
Done my ride in the sun today, nice and early with no cars about, and now watching finish of Amstel.
What's Surrounded by Zulus done now?
SBZ is the acceptable face of trolling. He has been assimilated by the establishment, so is fine now.

Pah, I just had a pork pie with an egg in the middle of it. I laugh at your pansy chips!
Nah. Mtb today, I'm resting. Haven't you just done a sportiv?
Haven't you just done a sportiv?
Did it yesterday in the New Forest - they put a Saturday one on because the Sunday one sold out so quickly. Just trying to work out how to edit a pdf of results to see how I did. 😕

Realman.....give it up, take a breath, turn your computer off and go have a cold shower FFS !!!
I can never tell, until some-one says Troll...
*cup of tea, scones, paddling pool*
20 miles sunny, lovely apart from all the grumpy old men walkers 🙄
111 miles Jamie! Fair play... what was your avg speed?
Only 50? What are injured or something? Oh and proper roadies talk in kms, just so you know
Just getting back from a nasty spill on the bmx, and I threw up in the morning before the ride, so yeah. kms are rubbish 😀
111 miles Jamie
Indeed. Am impressed.
*is impressed*
111 miles Jamie
Bah, only managed 112km. Two cat 1 climbs in the middle, though 8)
111 miles Jamie! Fair play... what was your avg speed?
Just over 16mph. 7 hours-ish with one piss stop and another to get the malt loaf out if my saddle bag 8)
....remember I live in the flatlands, so not as impressive as those who have hills.
Yeah but you've only had a road bike for a couple of weeks!
*wishes had done proper ride this weekend*
Just trying to work out how to edit a pdf of results to fix how I did
FIFY
*wishes had done proper ride this weekend*
It was fun. Especially when going the other way past all the riders doing the Rutland Sportive and one guy telling me I was going the wrong way.
FCOL Yeti - Jamie should be doing LEJOG for his total commitment to road riding unlike you ... you slacker. 😉
Just trying to work out how to edit a pdf of results to fix how I did
LOLz 😛
*is secretly pleased with how I did anyway*
111 miles!!
****ing hell!! Blimey Jamie, that's well impressive.
*is as impressed as Deadly*
Jamie - MemberBeen out on the roadbike this weekend Jimmers?
111 miles yesterday.
Is that Binary?
just cracked out a 20mile loop with mrsconsequence in the sun, lots of families out with dogs and kids, sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, a cooling wind if you're fast enough, warm wind if you're pacing yourself... beautiful.
111miles = lying, he had a bbq and an orgy... nobody can do that many miles, its imposssible.
TSY - you better come out to play once LEJOG is out of the way 🙂
DD - pass me a kettle chip
i'm satisfied
*is satisfied*

OK, if we're boasting about our weekend achievements then yesterday I was at Swinley on the single speed.
Today I was again on the single speed for a total of 23 miles.

I keep forgetting you're all fit mountain bikers...
What's the longest distance you've all done then? I've done about 30 miles ('cos we got lost I thought my legs were going to fall off) reckon I could more this year though
111 miles is impossible-I only managed 177.6km yesterday,but there were some hills and the highest pass in Wales to deal with.
Fit emsz? Ha ha!
coast to coast is about 135 miles on the road. Riding flatish stuff on road is not that hard if you just hit a rhythm and stick to it for the next 8 hours
Even at 10 mph 100 miles is doable in a day with a pub lunch and tea at the end
I'll find out at Kielder in september...not sure about the pub lunch tho.
What's the longest distance you've all done then?
[url= http://www.diezmildelsoplao.com/pdf/10msoplao-perfil.pdf ]10,000 del Soplao[/url], mtb race in Cantabria, northern Spain: 165km and over 3000m climbing. Doing it again this year.
....remember I live in the flatlands, so not as impressive as those who have hills.
Still pretty impressive to me. I did 46 miles round northants yesterday and I was absolutely ****ed 😆 I've had the road bike since about February as well (and a ss road since august).
Seeing as it was a minging day today, we went round Gisburn forest. I managed to earn another "you're not a real mountain biker until" badge by having total and catastrophic bottle failure on the Northshore, dabbing onto fresh air and pratfalling off into the conveniently located peat-bog-and-cowshit quagmire.
Later on we almost demolished a group of muggles who thought that walking the wrong way up the singletrack was a great idea for a family outing, but other than that it was a really pleasant ride out. Worth it for a pint of, ah, easily digestible carbohydrates and a chip butty at the Dog & Partridge afterwards.
[i]Seeing as it was a minging day today[/i]
Oh, poor you, where abouts are you? we've had really nice sunshine all weekend, might even have tan lines!
Mind you, walkers today! 🙄 none of them in a good mood, after a while it became silly, shouting hello at them, either to be ignored completely, (couple of road riders too) or one chap who just stared and said "How many more of you?"
Charming.
Oh, poor you, where abouts are you?
Sorry, I forget that it doesn't always work in text - I was being sarcastic. It's been glorious today, really warm and sunny.
i'm still unconvinced about the whole troll thing. Do people really sit around trying to come up with questions on the net designed to provoke a reaction?.......and if they do, what do they gain from it?
yes and no idea
school holidays innit
111 miles? I don't I could even drive that far without getting lost or confused or tired.
This thread is a troll. Most definitely a troll
Anyway what's not to like about trolls! Look how cute they are!!

And incidentally while searching for a troll pic I found one of a girl, semi naked, bound and gagged on the floor surrounded by a circle of trolls holding her hostage. I 😆
The busier the forum the more trolls they attract.
Just in from a sneaky 22 mile ride in the sun the second ride of today and 3rd of the weekend.
Longest ride I did was 115 miles from Cardiff to Aberystwyth back when I was a student. Did it on my MTB with slicks, a couple of litres of water, some sandwiches and some peanuts. Not enough drink at all, found it tough at the end especially as I'd hardly done any long rides previously. Intentionally took all day over it, had lots of garage stops and such. Stopped a pub just south of Llanwrtyd Wells and ordered several large cokes.
Landlady: Where are you headed?
Me: Aberystwyth
LL: Aberystwyth?! Where have you come from?
Me: Cardiff
LL: 😯
Actually I tell a lie, I did 130 miles from Cardiff to Oxford via Gloucester because I didn't know you could cycle over the Severn Bridge! And along the A40, Christ what a mistake that was. It's boring as hell to DRIVE never mind slog along for hours and hours feeling cold, tired and miserable.
Attempted to cycle back to Hereford a couple of days later but my knee hurt really badly - my first and worst bout of patello-femoral syndrome. Could hardly have sex when I got to Oxford cos I couldn't kneel on it.
Today about 70km or so btw 🙂
Longest distance?
Workington to Sunderland on the CTC worked out at 132.5 miles/9'300ft ascent (but my bike computer may be wrong) on the roady bike.
Not sure about the mtb but maybe the Mary Towneley Loop at 47 miles/6000+ft ascent would be a contender.
No particularly spectactular compared to some but i'm quietly proud of doing the CTC in a day.

Emma - link please! 8)
I can't it's naughty and drac is already lurking, I will get my lazy bum kicked into touch, just google trolls then look at images I'm sure it will tip up 🙂
Found it, hmmm she looks rather worried!
<goes off to find the bondage gear and order a job lot of little plastic people with odd hair...>
Can't see what emma82's talking about, but did find this.

Got it, cheers. Interesting...

No, just google Trolls then click images. If it helps the slogan is 'trolls, horny little .... aren't they' (I took out the rudie)
I've seen it. Evil t******* trolls. Won't put the full title incase anyone gets upset/offended.

Molgrips - YOu really shoulda told me you were in Oxford 🙁
Is it me or is there a lot of it about at the moment??Shirley we should all be out actually riding? (says he on a sunny sunday arvo).
There is, and don't call me Shirley.
OK, if we're boasting about our weekend achievements then yesterday I was at Swinley on the single speed.
I wouldn't 'boast'. Swinley should only ever be done on a singlespeed. Doing it with gears should never be admitted to.
Seen the Trolls surrounding woman image. Did you know that that is actually TJ's house?
No, it's true. All sorts goes on there. 😯
Ta countzero....62 posts I had to wait for that!!

My pleasure, I couldn't believe no one else had done it. Too good to miss.
Molgrips - YOu really shoulda told me you were in Oxford
This was in 1997!
I was there dude! Only a mile or 2 off of the A40!
Yes but I didn't know you!
Ahh, I see. Sometimes you're too practical for your own damn good!
Problem solved.

Trouble is, this deliberate trolling means that sensible genuine questions just get ignored and threads wrecked cos people think it's better to act like knobs than be helpful... 🙄
