Sorry I couldn't come in the end. :( Realised that I'm not really up to eating out just yet.

Would definately be up for a drink (clubbing days are over though!).

lol you two old fuddy duddies...

Im up for anything so long as I can fit it into what is going to be a really hectic 10 weeks for me with training, wedding, stag weekend, holiday and races. Wednesday or Thursday are the only days I can work a gap into my training.

Dr G back in training! Virus and hayfever eat my shorts! Speed session with the running club last night and hills on Wednesday.

Anyone up for a long steady run on Sat morning? I'm thinking about 10 miles.

Been lucky this year had very few hayfever symptoms. Normally get it in last 2 weeks of May but this year no real signs yet (eyes a little sore on a couple of bike rides but nothing significant).

Steve (Nads), not been in touch anout a bike ride as have been a bit busy - maybe next Tuesday?

Dr G - I can do Sat morning, but only from 11:00 (letting the wife have a proper lie-in while I look after the daughter).

If that's too late, no problem. If not, see you for the first 10 of my 19!

Carl - just let me know when suits. I should be OK for a couple of hours next Tuesday...I'd like to have a go at beating 34.7mph down that hill. If I pedal even more manicly than I did last week (whilst you were just free-wheeling!!) I might make 34.8 :-)

34.7? Amateurs.

SVT (PB 49mph)

Good idea Nads, ill go full out and see how far past 40mph I can get? Thats the steepest hill I know near here.

Nads Wobbling

SVT - I was on a tricycle!! 49mph?! I'd have to be holding on to a car wing mirror (that was attached to a moving car, obviously) to have any chance of reaching that speed on my bike.

It was about 10 years ago, when I was quite into cycling - top gear, pedalling like mad, head down, 22mm tyres. It was only the S-bend at the bottom of the hill (a well-known accident hotspot) that prevented the magic 50. But yes, I did only have two wheels.

SVT - I meant a kid's tricycle...in an attempt to be amusing, but failing due to lack of description...or just failing full stop...

My bike is a MTB. I reckon I could have made 40mph but I didn't want to upset Carl by overtaking him ;-)

SoVeryTired

Ah - was imagining a souped-up carbon-framed affair...

MTB - that's your problem. Get a proper bike.

(Aaaaargh - I'm turning into my dad! The man who bought me a road bike when all my friends had BMXs.)

Nads Wobbling

25/05/2004 at 15:55

Your Dad did that to you too?! I was bought a racer from Green Shield, no less (A Hugh summat or other...) when all my mates were getting Choppers and Grifters (shows my age)

My dad was heavily into cyclocross in his youth, so has never totally bought inot the idea of BMXs and MTBS - a racer can do it all, given the right tyres and a lot of lugging it over your shoulder!

41.6 tonight, found a good hill lol - if id know the hill was coming im sure I could have cranked it up to 50+ mph.

Nads - just realised I cant do the ride next Tuesday as it MK Duathlon. Why dont you come along and give it a try, its about £15 I think.

Nads Wobbling

straitjacket - that's the one. I took it to my local "specialist" cycle shop a few days after I got it to hava dynamo (of all things) fitted and the guy there all but told me it was crap!

Carl - duathlon? Hmm. It might be too scary :-)
