    Nice one, John. Glad to see the CCA skinsuit being aired so early on in the year. Great time!

    Great effort Vam, your gunna be rapid once the season is in full swing!

    Nice one John. Hardly recognised your cross bike with those funny bars.

    ...and those tubs seem to have lost the knobbly thread. What pressure were you running them at?

    Good result so early in the season, nice one.

    Psst.... There's a c******r on the back. And the front is only taped on. The horror. The horror.

    I'm just going to pretend I haven't seen that last post.

    That's ok Vam cl######s are fine in TT's as they're faster ;-) Not sure about the tape though???

    I was actually going to ride a clincher alloy up front, as everybody said the course was so rough, but after driving around in the morning I made last minute swap to the deep section tub. They have not yet been glued up properly - this will happen soon!

    The rear was not just a clincher but slow as treacle Durano - so I have some scope for marginal gains on both wheels. :D

    Does look odd seeing you on a pointy bike and not covered in mud, you'll be shaving your legs next!

    Great time John, shame about the sacrilege.

    Can I just not say three Hail Mastik's and be forgiven?
  • JaneJane
    I forgive you

    For those of you who may have also lapsed, here is the Hail Mastik prayer reproduced in full.

    Hail Mastik, full of latex, the tubular is with thee, blessed art thou amongst adhesives, and blessed is the bond that you create, with wheel. Holy Mastik, bond of champions, pray for us rouleurs, now and at the hour of our ride. Amen.

    John, I don't believe you rode the course as your bike isn't muddy,I will have to get the result sheet off of Steve Laurie ;-)
