In the words of ctbms bestest sticker-‘every time you change gear God kills a kitten’
Food for thought eh!!
Well, now I am definitely sticking with gears. And also getting a really widely spaced cassette so i have to keep shifting all the time. If it means less poo in my garden from the neighbours cats I’m all for it!!
I ride a triple up front! Just putting that out there for support of others. You are all keeping quiet but I know you are out there feeling slightly ashamed.
I’ve heldheld on to my childhood mentality, the more gears the better
Our office manager totally failed when organising our Christmas party last year. He told us all the wrong date and when we turned up at the brewery they just weren’t ready for us
All the Beer and no idea
I’ve got another 4 of these by the way… It’s helped keep my mind occupied at work!
It’s an interesting mix of riders. Definitely hard to judge. Looking forward to seeing the domestic guys in the breakaways. Also interested to see what alex dowsett can do, having missed out on the tdf
What you need to do is wire up a couple of mains smoke alarms that are set to go off constantly then go away on holiday without leaving any contact details. Another STWer can tell you how bad that is.
Just wanted to pop my head in the door to say thanks to theswedishchef for setting up the league and to revel in the first place before my team drop down the standings like a stone!
Seriously though it is a balance of workhard now and then have quality time off at the end having made good money. How do you cope when things are a grind? I worked similar hours for a shorter contract and felt a bit burnt out at the end of it. This was a different industry though.
+1 for watersmeet. Not sure if north Devon is within 4 hours though.
Pro tip, prior to dinner run down into the bay and write something obscene on the sand. Then enjoy listening to everyone commenting on it in the restaurant!
More grown up individuals have used the same opportunity to write something nice…
Last time I went I had to satisfy a scotchman in the bedroom. Don’t think that is a popular part of the tourist route so go for goudi cathedral and gothic old town instead!
Just read the thread for first time and got all excited thinking I was going to get to the outcome then remembered it is still Wednesday. Good luck op, I’m rooting for you!
Well, you‘ll all be riveted to hear that we had a great day, the sun came out and it wasn’t too wet. I,did feel a bit overbiked on my yamaha yz250. It is a full suspension so it dulled the trails a bit too much. Will stick to my afternoon run down rangers path Snowdon I think.
