Todmorden CX

Was going to do the Tod CX but the alternator went on the mighty Vectra and the Citroen C1 hire car is too small for the bike. So now i’m going to spend Sunday going to Tesco with my 1 year old and taking down the decorations whilst the wife surfs the internet for houses that we can’t afford. Cock.

Hope that those who are doing it have a lovely old time.

Bummer. Hoping to get up to Tod to humiliate meself…

I’ll do the HtN 1.5 lap again, but on my Uncle John. I was too scared to use it today in case I made a tit of myself.

I was gong to race too, but have been ill all week and am still unwell. Might go along and watch/support if I’m up to it though.

Same as Gingerflash for me 🙁

Can’t believe that you can’t get a bike in a C1, you’re clearly not trying very hard.

Can only just get the pram in it.

I’ve seen 2 bikes in the back of a Mini (the original one, not the new big one) so you MUST be able to get 1 bike into a C1 surely?!
I’m racing tomorrow – got a nasty feeling it’s going to hurt…

I bet you can’t get crazy-legs into a mini though :o)

Ride there man, that’s what I’m doing 🙂

Wot he said. Unbolt the passenger seat and stop being gay.

sorry to hijack…
is it a 1.30 start for the “grown ups” – i’ve got confused somewhere along the way. ta.

Yes, 1.30.
See you there. 🙂

cheers! hopefully not too much standing round in the cold for me then :o)

Yes 1.30

Here are the details

Well… you can get a CX in a C1.

I did 6 laps which i’m quite pleased with because it is the first time i’ve ridden a CX anywhere (apart from the road outside my house), let alone in a race.

but did you do the jump? 🙂

That was good fun, big turnout including a few fast boys and girls to show us mortals how it should be done.

Who won?

not me. but i did the jump, without falling off, finished, and had a beer ( thanks matt and dave)

I knew a guy who got a orange 224 in a chinquecento… he also used it to arry his full drum kit around. you can get anybike in any car. Fact.

oh, and what IS an arse biscuit ? Would I like them ?

I did the jump too and got a cheer from the local urchins.

SFB – I suspect that you would like arse biscuits.

That was a good turn out and well done to Chipps etal for a good race, even the cobbled climb, which I guess you had to have in Tod as you won’t be able to add them in to many cross races in the UK. You should do one again in the summer series.

now I know what they are the answer is definitively in the negative 🙁

Dag is Australian for arse biscuit, in case anyone was wondering.

Dag is English for arse biscuit actually :o)

Anyway…

Thanks everyone for turning up. Sorry if I blanked anyone while running around mentally all day with a radio and stripey tape… I’m afraid we’re going to have to do it all over again next year. 🙂

you need a louder ray gun next time.

A louder gay run?

Not surprisingly it’s quite hard to buy very loud firing guns in Todmorden on a Saturday afternoon, so I used a very flash, silver ray guy 🙂

I’m borrowing a starting pistol for next time though.

We’re following your example and starting HtN 1.5 by waving lightsabres.
