Different. I'll do it again, maybe with some gears. Was great to see the scourge that is the mountain biker so well represented.

I'm feeling particularly vacant today. More so than usual!

opposite effect for me
pinging and full of the joys of spring

ripped in at 20mph to work today, and came home at 21mph
One a near record the other a record by a mile, should have done the Kettering TT before I blow up.

Mrs.Smith has expressed the desire to do it all again next week, so see you all there dudes. I suppose this means I'll have to fit that 9 speed close ratio cassette to the tandem after all ;-)

bikinggod wrote on Apr 4

Can you fit tri bars to a tandem?

graham2 wrote on Apr 4

Its a slippery slope...........it will be disc wheels and skin suits by summer.

Horrid! wont b there next week, I have my excuses in already.

We did a 'solid' 7.47, 2nd slowest on the night but knocking on the door. I dunno if tri-bars will fit, the tandem is set up with o/size risers at the mo......I'll try and persuade Mrs. Smith to be more sociable this week (Liverpool aint playin!) BTW, it's Ali's idea for us to try this, not my doing at all. See you there, dudes.

Managed a 6:47 at last night's prologue - a 1 second improvement. At this rate, by the end of they year, I will be under 6 minutes! Well done to Nige with a 6:44. Sorry to everyone else - I didn't look at your times!

Course was blitzed by Ryan Henry in 6:14 on a normal road bike.

Enjoyed the ride out on the new Carbon extraviganza. Got a little carried away and churned out an 18 mile warm-up on it.

tom84 wrote on Apr 10

i got a 7.14 a 6 second improvement

smiffyj wrote on Apr 11

Sorry the tandem was absent, I was in bed with the 'flu.

Hopefully see you next week, Mrs.Smith and I are doing a couple of laps of the Valley 10 on Sunday morning to see if we can crack 35 mins.
