He drives 1 mile to work?

There’s some suggestions that its not necessary but as cholesterol is synthesised by the liver from dietary nutrients some parts of the test, particularly triglycerides, can be affected if you don’t fast

Fasting is recommended; clear fluids, black tea/coffee ok

88/89 around Dalby and the North York moors. Took a road bike sabbatical between 96 and 2008 8O but I’d say I’m now 50/50 mtb and road

I came through at the end of my 4th lap at 1hr 55 and they pulled me over so I guess if you weren’t on your 5th by 1hr45 it was 4 Laps for a lot of us.

Like other comments on starting position I think it made a big difference as it took me at least a lap until things thinned out enough to do a reasonable amount of overtaking.

If I’d realised they’d be the bottlenecks I’d have hammered it more on the first climb from the start as I think as long as you maintained your speed your position the top pretty much dictated where you ended up.

Hopefully top 100 next year.

119 for me

Clinical specialist for a medical devices company.

Happy doing it but more time on my bike would be nice

Me today

Why do you think he was banned? Is he a danger to others?

Personally I’d have it out with him then shop him

+1 for Rorschachs comment.

Becoming more relaxed about the shouting comes with more racing but the knobber you all describe will probably be shouting ‘STRAVA!’ Tomorrow as he nails a segment.

A knob, is a knob, is a knob, don’t let it put you off.

My second post but I’m still buzzing from today; not since the NEMBA series has racing been such fun, we should have HTN every month :D

Not sure by whom but some balloons were launched at the start line of Hit the North today

These have been uploaded nice and quick!!

Cheers Forge197, you are £9.98 richer :D

That was bloody brilliant!

I’m sure I spoke to some of you and I even saw some Big Hitters.

I was on a green Solaris with a ‘Here Come The Belgians’ jersey, nice to meet you all.

I should add fully loaded with roof box and big blokes my 1.6 diesel will happily sit above 70mph hours on end and do 50+ mpg

Yep, got a 2012 model.

Previously had a cavernous Mondeo estate which swallowed things whole but the Focus isn’t too bad.

With the 2/3 split rear seat down I can get two bikes in with front wheels out and seat posts down, with seats up I’d struggle to get one bike in the boot with both wheel off.

Cabin wise I had 4 big blokes in there with no complaints.

Big road trips/camping needs a roof box.

Nay

Is it really that bad?? I was hoping to wear shoes and not boots for the first time in months

At least we won’t be pushing cars up that hill again

Thanks allthepies, I need to read things fully more often

They do seem to video every car journey in Russia don’t they

Wish I had a glazing business out there

I was just about to post this

Cheers Zokes, scuttled should have given it away really :oops:

Globati, do they not have protected/grave site like status? I’d be a little annoyed if my final resting place was plundered to make stuff

No, but her friend does

Hey, I have a missus with big boobs….a slim body and a good brain who happens to be working tonight!

So do I, really .

No, it shows I know about what I do in the real world and not at half eleven at night with a bunch of argumentative ##### who didn’t get non on Valentine night.

Northward, fortunately only people of GOLD 4 classification of COPD tend to require NIV, however if your Mum ever needs any advice I’ll point her in the right direction.

:lol:

If you were a ‘murse’ would you spell it like that? Why would you fear for my patients? Non if them ask for my opinion on 1st world cycling forum topics

I’d have some, with friction option.

Worst. Analogy. Ever.

I would have thought equating a social science, if such a thing exists, with a real science was equally poor.

And what I would say to the ‘idea’ is its just that because its obviously not happening.

I would say you know far more than me.

What would you say to high intensity non invasive ventilation (mean IPAP 29 cmH2O) leads to lower and sustained arterial carbon dioxide levels in COPD patients?

There’s a big difference between killing me and living in a house you can’t afford

Well, that’s where that fact that we’re not ‘really’ one pack comes into play; no matter how much social policy exists those natural, self preservative instincts always come out

Alpha wolf also lets the weak die for the greater good. Discuss.

Edit. You edited, alpha female doesn’t exist

Without getting too deep isn’t this just evolution? It’s moved from biggest club/animal to feed the tribe to house/money ability to survive, surely at some point folk will fall by the wayside however much we try to create equal opportunity. Discuss.
