    cu dubh you’re number 11. Just because drwatshisname has left the thread doesn’t mean ‘the list’ has been abandoned.

    As one of the few people who didn’t offend drwhatshisface I’d like to nominate myself to be in charge of The List.

    broken collarbone from a cycling holiday eh? so basically Sierra Cycling broke your bones and told you to write a google-friendly review or they’d break the rest of your bones?

    sounds horrible, would you like me to send you a cyber-hug to shield you from the cyber-bullies who might cyber-hurt your already broken body?

    anyway its thursday, must dash off to the post office to cash my DLA.

    Thanks Dobbo. I think the list is chronological but should it really be graded on level of bullying and are there different categories, elite, novice etc?

    I think it’s about time somebody posted something (Positive) regarding Sierra Cycling over in Southern Spain. I went away twice with them last year, 10 days in April and a week in early October, which in a sentence speaks for itself.

    Alan collected and returned me my bike and my belongings at Malaga Airport both times Free of Charge. On arrival at the Beach House there is always some food – biscuits/peanuts or a drink alcoholic or none alcoholic in the fridge which is perfect after a tiring flight and spending hours queuing.

    Last time Ash one of the two British guides put my bike together for me and took me to the BMX track for an afternoons advanced skills coaching session and blast back down San Anton – even though it was his afternoon off – again Free of Charge. (Other companies charge £220 a day for a skills session)…

    Alan and Mary are always up every morning to make a full cooked breakfast, fruit, cereal, fresh bread, orange, porridge or whatever you ask for – this is included in the price of the room. The riding is extremely varied and the guides have an extensive knowledge of the local area. The routes range from XC, technical single track to smooth fast techy enduro/downhill. A highlight for me was the El Chorro, Bob Astro and Holy trails out in the mountains behind Malaga. This is a truly stunning place with some great riding. (hoping to ride the Telecom Tower next time out)

    Any technical or bike queries or issues are always dealt with and nothing is too much trouble. The fridges are always kept full of drinks pop, beer and there is freeview and internet access with a wash facility for cleaning your dusty clothing after a ride. If you want to cool off there is also a nice clean shared pool located in private secure gardens.

    The accommodation is 100 meters walk from the Promenade which stretches down along the Mediterranean. From there you can walk in to town to find a decent cheap Tapas/Italian/Spanish restaurant or (Tahiti) bar where you can get a drink (cocktail) or game of pool. Last time this was all arranged by the guides and we all went out as a group – which was great for me being a single traveller.

    I’ve just booked another week with Sierra as they cannot be beaten on price, value, accommodation, guiding/coaching, atmosphere, location, weather and riding. The reason I will go back again and again with Sierra is because I get a feeling their primary interest is with catering for you the customer and making sure you enjoy your time with them.

    This is a lot more than can be said for another allegedly leading UK outfit that I have recently been away with where the relationship seemed strictly materialistic.

    Keep up the good (hard) work Sierra,
    looking forward to September!

    oh and i forgot to say.

    AHAHAAAHAHAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAAAA! HAAAAAA!

    ‘pop’ who the hell says ‘pop’ anymore?!?!?!

    me being a single traveller.

    oh, that explains it.

    pop.

    seriously.

    i’m going to get myself a glass of fizzypop

    i’d report myself for bullying but i’m too busy trying to work out how this newfangled typewriter works

    mods, seriously this couldn’t be anything but an advert, and the thread has clearly gone past the point of discussing the merits of whatever. close it before Drwato has the opportunity to bully more people who might have the misfortune to be on benefits.

    and i apologise to the mods for my laughing at the term ‘pop’ but it is rather hilarious. i appreciate not everyone over the age of 85 can use the internet so i shouldn’t mock.

    If I go on a Sierra Cycling holiday do I get to spend a week with drwato and people just like him? Who could resist? Alan must be dead chuffed the way this is going.

    Wait a minute. “Alan retiring”….you think drwato might be picking up the business? mmmmm?

    reported to the mods for bullying. you’re on my list now biatch!

    if the OP is typical of the type of client that SC attracts, and his comments about meeting up with fellow holiday makers for rides since suggests so. then i wouldn’t consider a holiday with them.

    taking into account the underhand, painfully obvious and devious nature of the spammy-obviously-an-advert opening post; its not painting SC in a good light.

    i’d blame binners but he’s probably busy out riding a horse to the local market where he’ll try to sneak a peek at some wench’s ankles.

    You’re a man of mystery jamie. The SpecialGuys spent most of the ride trying to work out what you do.

    IF it was an attempt its spectacularly badly written which is only matched by how spectacularly its failed..

    To add to if its true, just what does the OP take us for? What do SC take us for?

    I for one hope its not what it appears to be as its leaving a bad taste in the mouth at the moment..

    Can I just say that this is my first time on this thread and I have neither been bullied nor even made the bullying list? It’s a disgrace, that’s what it is.

    You really didn’t do yourself any favours posting that review. No one likes users posting reviews as their first post, as it seems like an advert, which usually get deleted by the mods.

    Then to get funny when people don’t agree with you and have a completely different point of view. STW is a massiv place of conflict! If we didn’t have this, this place would be dead or just get replies of “ditto”, which leads to very boring reading.

    If you feel you’re being bullied, report it and step away from this site. Things ain’t going to get any better, just look at some of the other threads, some people are probably reading all this thinking “shit I had better not post”. There are many other sites where the bitchyness is a lot worse, and others that are a lot better.

    Remember you are not just offending the people posting on this topic, but everyone who reads it, by posting comments like “hiding behind your computer”, “jobless”.

    BTW don’t post a photo of your new/repaired forks on yer bike… You will have the piss ripped out of you, for a badly kept garden/kitchen etc.. By the sounds of it, you’ll take it to heart, it’s all in jest. 😉
