  1. Glad to hear you're having a good time stevie! I take it you're fully recovered from the flu then? Sounded like you had a bad dose of it.

     

    Hope you all have a good time in the sun....weather here's lovely...honest! Oh ya dancer !

  2. I feel somewhat ashamed by the briefness of this reply following simons discussion of the topic, but for what its worth my hack bike for getting around town is an old mtb frame, slicked up, fixed and running 49x16, and i cant say ive ever had any bother with it.

     

    I suppose in terms of developing "suplese" (pardon my french spelling) a lighter gear would be preferable for spinning, but for general cruising about town i have found this nice and quick on the flats and manageable both uphill and down.

     

    Enjoy it, whatever gear you choose!

  3. From cyclingnews.com today. Well done Aileen!! Hello, beer !!

     

     

    British cyclists nominated for 2005 Paralympic Awards

     

    British cyclists Darren Kenny and Aileen McGlynn have been nominated for two awards each at the inaugural Paralympic Awards. The 2005 Paralympic Awards aim to honour outstanding achievements in the fields of sport and the media directly related to the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games.

     

    Kenny has been named on a shortlist of 12 athletes for the best male athlete award and also features on the best Games debut shortlist. The 35 year-old from Bournemouth had a spectacular Games in Athens, winning gold medals in the CP3/4 1km time trial and the CP3 3km individual pursuit ­ both in world record times. He also won a silver medal in the combined CP3 road race and time trial.

     

    McGlynn joins Darren on the 13-strong list of nominees for the best Games debut title and also features with eight other athletes as a contender for the best female athlete. The 32 year-old visually impaired cyclist from Glasgow earned her gold with a world record in the B1-3 1km tandem time trial and silver in the B1-3 tandem sprint, partnered by sighted pilot Ellen Hunter on both occasions.

  4. I intend to be there. :smash Can someone confirm what time we're going to start at - personally speaking the suggestion of a slightly earlier start sounds good to me, but i'll be there whenever...just want to avoid confusion.

     

    Thanks :grin:
