Not Fred.

M_F – you cant overtake a car thats doing a reasonable speed in a 30 safely. Therefore you would be charged with either careless or dangerous driving.

Whats with the 548m of ascent per lap. Thats just not cricket.

You dont unless they are crawling along. If they are doing a reasonable speed then to overtake them is wreckless and you will lose your licence if caught.

Because you cant see through cars and you are pulling a dangerous manoeuvre therefore putting people at risk and that is just rude.

Nope. 100% wrong. I'll have my tenner please.

But overtaking people who are doing 20mph in a 30mph limit is rude amongst other things. BOOM!!!! Have it! Busted. 😀

Would you like it if you phoned me trying to sell some of whatever it is you sell and I was incredibly rude to you to the point of being abusive?

Do you worry about the forum echo though?

It doesnt work for a lot of people. Midges still land on you and the still rub their jaws on you (midges bont bite), the oil simply lubes the skin so that you dont get irritated or take longer to get irritated by the jaw rubbing action. On that note I suspect that the ultimate midge repellent may well be KY jelly.

ahwiles – that is a brilliant shout.

Doesnt really matter what colour mech you get i'll still whoop your arse at the merida this year again. 😀

I'm 6'1" and ride a 58cm Bianchi. Tried 56, 58 and 60 in Genesis Day One frames and the 58cm is the one i will be buying.

For some people it is the easiest or best option of staying off the dole.

I hope none of you lot mind when someone has a rant at you when you are at work.

In that case I must be riddled.

Vino lost 12.30ish today.

Ah – one of the uni lecturers turned up. 😀

Not any more….

A wise man, who has an arse photo fetish, once told me that "As for 'legality', the common law allows one to go where one wishes so long as there is no criminal intent or breaking in, and most land 'ownership' is the result of theft from the common wealth by the enclosures (or former robber barons) so I'd not take the protests of landowners too seriously, never mind that the nail setter is a 3rd party with no rights in the matter."

Is he doing that well?

Nobody?

MM is a ride round a field. If you look at the entry for UK24s you'll see all the big names entered. Not a chance that they'll all be riding MM, if any do.

I know for a fact that there are several chemistry lecturers on here, they may help you out. I suspect that you might be doing it again in august though.

No – meaning that the reason that skis and snowboards slide is because they melt the snow and you are on a film of water. Snow is pretty grippy stuff.

Depends which you like doing more. Climbing – have it nose down a bit, descending – nose up, both – fairly flat. There is no set answer though.

Good idea.

Personally I would never have even contemplated trying to get my postal costs etc back.

Which one are you – yorkshireman, aberdonian, banker or mp?

Why use chamois cream when I have a peroneum like leather and a brooks saddle?

Kevonakona. I'll swap one of your bottles of skinsosoft for some steroids.

😀

The juices of a thousand virgins and monkey spit.

I forgot to say that i'm doing it singlespeed too. Have gears ranging from 32:14 to 32:20.

Whatever you say Mr Absalon-Peat.

poppa, that isnt a middle and granny set up though is it. Also, saying you aren't slow is a bit of a tosspot comment. I would hazard a guess that compared to a lot of people you are very slow, or very very slow even.

I see a big problem with just taking the big ring off a triple to make it into a double. That problem being the absence of a big ring. Unless you live at the bottom of a well and have to ride out every day I dont see why you would want only a middle and granny set up, especially with that muthaf***a of a rear cassette you have on there.

I smell sheeeeeiiiiiiiiitttttttttteeeeeee with added essence of bull.

You are a troll and i claim my £5.

Rough old place.

Hoddam castle is pretty close and there are lots of walks and places to bike nearby. Or if fishing is your thing there is plenty of that.

There are a couple of quad bike trekking places close by that a quick google search will throw up. Carlisle is only 20 minutes drive away too.

That's better.

I wasn't planning on winning the event, just hope to win my own personal race to the finish line. Is that not what 24hr events are all about – winning your own race?

Daveb – you dont have a race bike mate.

Pie.
