  8. me and pc plod still trying to get to grips with look pedals andreas mac decided late friday night to go out saturday morning to killcreggan! so it was a lovely morning , beuatiful gray sky's no sunshine in sight what more can you ask for in scotland??? anyway we headed oot towards the george tn rd and up over the erskine bridge. as we got over the bridge andy shouted "keep to the left cause we are heading doon the loch lomond rd" as i did not have a clue where i was going. its not a nice rd to be on all those fast cars bolting by you like sean doing a tt!!! after a few miles on that rd andy who was riding next to me on the outside kept looking behind his shoulder to check if any idiot was driving to close to us. to my surprise andy mac looks rounds see's a car heading behind us and not stopping andy then gets out of the saddle chippo style and sprints by me in to a safe area. next thing i know the car behind us slams on the brake BIGTIME ..............(when the bear growls you empty your bowls) i could smell the burning smell of the tyres friction on the rd. during the time of the car melting on the brakes i honestly thought i was R.I.P.!!! i needed some pampers in too never mind the savlon to protect your skin then back to reality , the car driver was badly shocked as he thought he had nearly knocked us in to our graves, he eventually drove by and gave us a wave as if to say eh sorry guys! by about 11am we got into glen frui (i think) just by the army barracks. well thats where i heard the sound that you dont want to hear at anytime ? it was not a puntcure not a cable snapping .................. it was two SPOKES!!!!!! once again i required pampers as i thought i was walking 35miles home it was not to be as i cycled to killcreggan with a gigantic buckle which amazingly held of my super heavy weight of 85kg!!! as we got closer to the ferry terminal andy was talking about the weather conditions which we where cycling through , he was explaining that the ferry could be suspended due to the wind etc.....he then told me that its only 1 of those smaller type boats which only takes passengers and no cars. NOW thats got my mind working again thinking two broken spokes and my wheels are getting worse per the rev where are those pampers ........ gets to the ferry and it wasnt suspended then got on the train at gourock and back in sunny johnstonia for 2pm. even paulo el mechanico and his genius mechanical skils could not have helped! lesson learned from this? i should have listened to the big man in the wheel craft shop who told me the wheels i had where really bad!!!!(factory wheels) we got 40 miles in the bag and did the whole trip in the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ring kenny!!! p.s. thanks andy for all the spoke type jokes man johan

  21. good day folks !!! im back from the tour of the randonnees! just to let you guys know that i had a great time and found heaven whilst climbing those alps . completed the entire tour and we all got those fancy medals , some people did not complete the tour which made me feel good as some of those geezers had been cycling for many years as for for me this is my 1st year!!. it was that hot that 2 guys even blacked out in the hotel rooms after a days cycle. some of the scenery was just amazing and words can not describe how beautifull those alpine passes are. i would recomend any1 to go on one of baxters sporting tours as they are well organised. the main problem was the heat average 35 degrees celsius!!!!! . i dont think i could have completed the tour if it wasnt for the pipe band music pumping through my heeed phones just to remind me of the training that id been doing over mount top endless times and other weeeee lumps(i right). i was feeling great each day and had a fear that my weee legs would feel as if they wid huv been stuck in a vice , but all was cool and just took my time and most importantly found my own pace!!!!! in 53 x 12 all the way!!!!! (39 x 27) as this was a holiday , we had several coffee stops on the way and enjoyed the view with our cameras snapping away paparatzie style . most of the bigger cols such as the izeran , vars , restefond etc was a bit tricky as you did not know how far you could push your body to climatise to the heat plus your food and drink intake. thankfully i pulled through and had enough water and food to get me up plus the back up vehicle was within a 10k radius at all times for you to get some supplies. the amount of water consumed by me could have helped the drought in africa alone - i mean i got the shits big time each morning and lost the power of my legs as i got glued to the toilet seat - no joke its not a laughing matter when your system cleans you out. i did the restefond 2808 m in 2hrs 35minutes , but hey wait for it wee chippo van der white heed did it in 1hr 48 with scoot not long behind the pair of them was waiting at the top of the alp for me to get a team photo but both of them started to get frost bite in the tampon with wings part of your cycling shorts which consisted a tub of savlon etc . anyway wee mark was on form each day and he inherrited the name the "badger" - as a peloton from machester was with the tour these guys just blasted though each col and was back in the hotel 5hrs b4 any 1 else???? so mark decided to sit in front of them on the col val di ser!! he was so fast that one of the manchester guys tried his hardest to keep up and then decided to call it a day with a classic cyclist lie " expletive deleted guys i need to go to the toilet". now that was minted it was almost as good as asking a cyclist you have not seen in a while the question "hows things" and he would reply not bad not been doing much - ?????? lies lies lies and more lies. some of the decents where just amazing but some where very scary , i nearly went over a hairpin bend coming down from the col de roselond - i mean i just did not see it untill the last second and nearly went over the edge heading down 2000m to the deck . i just managed to pull the bars jan ullrich style. it was nice to see the names on the rd of pro cyclist during the tour. we ended up talking to the other foreign guys on the tour who came all the way from the land of oz!!! one of them said to me(with strng oz accent) "stevie when you are going down the alp and you got no barriers on the side , no trees , no bushes , well mate struth your %$&*ed. i would like to tell more but i just cant remember it all to put on to paper but im sure mr scott donaldson will have a good disortation to hand in with some amazing photos. on the 2nd last day i decided to tackle the 1st col of 6 as fast as i could - i climbed 1700m at 7.5 - 9mph to the top at 7.5 - 8 % i was impressed with my ability but unfortunatly later on that day i started to get the bonk and just managed to get back to "grass" to the hotel. im proud to say that i only had 1and half power bars and did not take any protein drinks carb drinks or any other type of dodgy powders!!!!!!! scott had all that type of stuff and he swears by it and is very keen on the nutrition side of the things. for me the best decent was down the "gourge" just outside of St Etien - speeding up to 45+ mph through tunnels and bridges, past on comming cars and dodging rocks that where edging out of the side of those moutains which could have given you a nasty malky to the coupon if in direct contact . the most fantastic times was when we all started climbing some of the highest and hardest climbs and some of the tourists in cars was passing you - some of the looks you got from them was either "my god what a guy for doing this" or "are you aff yer nut". as we where going through some of the main tourist sites we must have paid a high rate for some of the food and even thatt made the uk look like as it had been hit by U.N. food parcels. it really made the uk lood 2nd rate i mean we had some minted pizza etc - i just wonder how hard it must be to prepare a bit of breed and chuck a few spoon fulls a tomato and chees on top - like glasga , pure grease man dripping oot the loaf but the tally's they know how to make food. it wasnt untill i got back to sunny johnstone and seen a local NED with the usual skipped kap , white trainers and shell suit on with the white socks up to his knee caps - that s when i realised that it was over ooooooohhhhh nooo please. cheers and see you all later stevie blom.
  22. kenny please order the new kit for me !!! my size will no doubt be xxxxxxxl kenny who was the winer of the choc series???? [/i]
