You can count me in for Outlaw next year, I'm doing it 100%
Had some crap news over the weekend, a good friend and colleague of mine passed away. He was only 51 and one of the most energetic and enthusiastic men I've ever met but he found out he had cancer over Christmas.
I'm going to do it to raise funds for Christies cancer charity who supported him and his wife throughout the whole horrible process.
So now I don't care how my training goes I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna finish it come hell or high water. Bring it on!!!

Big Al can you stick up the link for the charity on here matey? Not been shouting about it but mum's got cancer at the moment she's had some very good news about the timescale but not the outcome. Why I've been wearing Marie currie flowers for all my races for a bit.

Thats rubbish for your Mum and her family and friends mate It's such a shitty disease which eventually affects everyone in some capacity so the more cash raised the more research can be done to fight it.
I can't think of any better incentive to spur me on.

((Cake and Big Al))  - just because I can

My Outlaw decision is pending...

You have plenty of time decide Frodo  

When will you know the outcome of your job applications?

20/06/2011 at 14:12

I hear tonight if I made the second round on Friday.

If I haven't, I am definitely attempting Outlaw - the nature of my profession means that if this comes to nothing there will be no move of jobs for me until next April at the very earliest.

What do you do? Or would you rather not say on here because you'd have to kill us all?!!!!
Either way, good luck, although it's win/ win now isn't it?! Job move/ Outlaw
20/06/2011 at 15:09
Win/win was the take I have on the situation
I can't say on a public forum, not because of what I do, but where in particular I work.

  Afraid have to agree with Frodo there are something’s you can’t talk about on Forums due to the possibly of bad things. But lets face it young lady your doing outlaw, I know where you live now and everything.   Al it’s a sh*tter but everybody goes sometime, it’s more important to live what time you have instead of when you leave if that makes sense. On the plus side I get first dibs on her record collection. *in case anyone reading this doesn’t know me that’s a joke*

 ((((Big Al, Cake)))   Rotten news.

 But sounds like you all need to get yourself on the Outlaw list here.

And the kit thread is here

Bring it on......I want to be an Outlaw.

Just had the news from the people I interviewed for
So looks like I'll be Outlaw-ing then

I agree, you can't beat a good record collection (and seeing as none of you that well that was also a joke)

and also I agree with you matey,  I try and take as many opportunties as I can.

And on a more positive note, I may be getting a new full carbon bike (well, new to me at least) I need to flog mine on first though if anyone knows a potential buyer? It's a Trek 1.7 triple, 62 cm alloy frame with carbon forks it's for 6' and over really (I made an expensive error when I bought it as I'm only 5'10" but I've used it for a couple of years without any trouble) I've had it from new and it's been serviced every 6-12 months since I bought it. The bike has been very well maintained. I think it's a 2008 model but I'll have to check. The groupset is 105 and it's had a new chain and rear cassette in the last 6 months. It's been well ridden but not excessively and has some minor marks/ wear and tear ( cable rub on the frame, frayed bar tape etc) Any more questions then fire away, I can also supply as many pictures as you want.

Al afraid I’m to small for the bike. I should whisper this I may be getting a carbon bike myself soon, going to build one up from spare parts from a mates work.

Right oh should be at Salford Wednesday night and will make sure I take the spare wetsuit I have with me. Is a slight issue as thought the yip had been sorted but when I got it out the other day it was still dodgy. I’m going to ask the suit hire people if they can fit a new zip on it Wednesday. Sorry for not checking this properly when said I had a spare. Need it fixing anyway so if they can’t do it will ever try somewhere else or if you want to take it straight away and sort yourself that’s cool by me as long as I’m paying the bill when you get it. Sorry for the faff.

You're doing me the favour remember?! I'll get the zip sorted if it can be done.
As for the bike, I'll put it on e bay. Just thought I'd offer it up on here first as I'd rather she went to someone who'll look after her
