Ian Archibald

Billy likes accelerating. Its the top speed he needs to work on And he doesn't half exaggerate. Said to him a million times.
 
Anyhow I guess we all surge to get off the front as soon as possible and out of the wind but when you get in a squad that stays smooth it's such a joy. Like poetry in motion. Totally worth the extra effort of passing the lead rider slowly and smoothly...

Must try harder , next week smooth as butter honest

Good night apart from the rain, and the mud 😈 Now been given lines by the head master I have to write I must not surge 3 billion times
Didn't think I was 😇

I reckon Alan Mcb pushing off saved me 20 seconds. He might be rubbish pushing a pedal but he can't half push a saddle. Thanks Alan.

Hope there is tree cover at Quarriers village for this week's segment too

Seems there is no definite Sunday run anymore - gets hijacked by those "in the know". And now Thursdays could go the same way. Anarchy and that feeling we are trying to herd cats.
 
I like Billy's interpretation. It's a short ride. If you get a puncture it's hardly as if you're on your own for hours and if numbers stay above 10 there will be a mechanical every second or third week.

Sorry stopping for punctures is wrong defeats the purpose of the run are we now going to stop if somebody drops a chain all points should be nullified and a blank space should be recorded in the records and official spread sheet

was a nice route. The famous hill is Rocacorba which this route studiously circumvents. La Fabrica is a cyclist owned coffee shop in the old town. David Millar who lives outside Girona - worth cycling past his house - he must have won some prize money in his time - he was shooting the breeze there when we we were there in March. And pop in to an ex-pat cycle shop "Eat Sleep Cycle" 30 Carrer dels Mercaders  - they have weekly cycle runs going from their shop. You will meet the equivalent of ski bums (cycling bums). Loads of em. They live out there cycling their bike and being cool Just like us.

Yes. Tapering for Sunday. So might just sit on McCheatishes wheel and roll him for the points.

And someone should tell the audax DA guys - no kudos for getting up at 6am. Crazy cyclomaniacs. Is there a psychiatrist in the house?

I have also had the pleasure of said café and it gets a 10/10 from me.. I hope to join you if only for the triple tower burger

Thanks everyone. Be a lot easier if I could sprint. Working on it on the Thursday Chain Gangs. Beat Paul McD last night on the GT. Yess!

Planning to do it on my road bike and beat 26 mins on the Strava segment. If no one else turns up I should be awarded double points.
 
Also Nightingales e mailed me to say their committee thought I was too good for their APR but they are going to give me priority for the Sam Robinson. Alan Mcb and Alex B got their entries accepted btw. Cool eh?

I bet I'm not the only one sitting on McCheatish's wheel next week refusing to do any work... and for Rob... we'll take him up the Heggies and give him a doing

I am writing a letter of complaint, and asking that not only that the BOW two points are removed , but also a fine of minus 15 points should be included
 
Fun hard night

Not too sure about intermediate as we were kind of neutralised expecting the rule benders up front to wait. However as I think Ian crossed the line first we should give him the points as it's such a novelty for him to get sprint points Not too sure who was second.
 
At the finish I think it was me, Ian, Jesse from the genuine bunch.
 
Great fun as always, bring it on
