I'm signed up Geoff - Gamlingay Wheelers Vic

Several people told me that I must be going well on this morning's Wednesday Ride. Not me on the fast ride, unfortuately. I was on Trahern's 'Stay in your saddle' Club Run. Vic

I think they missed a trick not showing Chris Hoy shaving his legs in his recent Gillette ad. Nothing girly about Sir Chris's monster thighs. Off topic and I can't justify a trip to London for a few beers either. Have one for me. Cheers Vic

Micheal Hutchinson rode the same 25 route in 50.15 in the Hitchin Nomads 25 Mile TT a couple of weeks ago, so there's a time to aim for! He was was an impressive 5 minutes faster than his nearest rival though. I'm not sure if this is the course recor…

Sounds like my decision to go home when we were a mile from Gamlingay was a good one - enjoyed my fairly uneventful ride, same distance and speed.
I hope everyone is OK.
Vic -
I'm up for this one, I'll feel much less guilty over-indulging at our village street party on Tuesday if I get some miles in beforehand.
Vic -
Not usually a 9.00 ride, sometimes, the faster boys go out at 8.00. I think that's mostly stopped now the season is in full swing (Races, Sportives,audax, grasstrack etc).
Otherwise, everyone meets in the 3 Tuns CP for a 9.30 ride - I'm… -

Well done Sean - Epic stuff again and a great write-up too.
Cheers
Vic -
Flapjacks and tea very nice after a few hours stood around in the cold. Note to myself; next time bring a chair and something to eat!
Well done Carmelo, all the riders and helpers too - great event.
Vic -
Carmelo,
I've tried both numbers with no pick up - will try again this evening.
Or you could ring me 01767 652997
Vic -
Yes, outside 32 Hodwell, Ashwell SG7 5QQ at 09-30
-
Yes, they are still happening, but when the the weather is truly awful no one turns up and when it is just bad, only a few do.
Tomorrow is forecast to be dry and sunny, so I expect a good number will be out - I will.
Vic -
Is there someone like me Chris? I thought I was fairly unique!
My routes are really boring, just around where I live (I get lost if I go anywhere else!
I'm riding tomorrow though
Vic -
Epic, keep this up boys and you'll be asking Jim for tips on the RAAM soon!
Vic -
No problem, let me know when I'm needed and I'll be there.
Vic -
Carmelo,
I'm still available to help if you need me for anything - I did volunteer about 5 weeks ago.
Vic -
Geoff, I've got something like tennis elbow (actually Seized Bottom Bracket Removal Elbow!), so would be pretty useless at pulling, lifting etc.
I'm not exactly a giant either,
I'm going to attempt the 09-30 ride and if I don't see… -
Great ride - thanks to Stef for planning it (especially the excellent Tubby T's Cafe) and for all the other riders for the company - I needed the miles and despite the cold and wet really enjoyed the ride.
I think we should sue the pari… -
I can pick you up around 7-45 Chris.

Milan - San Remo on the Turbo for me this afternoon.

Haven't you heard of 'Pester Power' Theo?
My two teens have it mastered!
Vic -
Some of us may still be out there!
I'm not too sure where we went, as I didn't end up leading the ride in the end. Somewhere near Luton Airport/Whitwell way and we lost a couple!
Another had cramp and we all slowed down to h… -
GILF - Gears I Like to Forgo?
Have good ride
Vic -
Son's footy tomorrow - early afternoon and need to be back to Ashwell noonish - so, I'll be there for the 9.00 steady ride too.
Vic -
I'm up for a 9-30 club run on Monday Tony.
Any other takers?
Vic -
+1 on the Michelin Krylions, they've been great for me so far: no cuts or puntures last winter, unlike their predecessors.
They are still available, but i believe they are going to be phased out soon in favour of the 'endurance' version … -
I should think it is more to do with money and contracts than the actual bike.

This article is one of many on the interweb speculating about Specialized and Cav's move. Inner Ring - 'Cavendish, Specialized, Omega-Quickstep and the vacuum'

2 for me Chris, cheque next wednesday morning. Vic

The sticking point with Sky seems to be Cav's insistance on riding a Specialized bike next year, Omega Pharma Quick Step have just switched to Spesh for next year for Tony Martin, so the move suits Cav. I can't see why Cav doesn't want ride a Pinare…
