LOL!
TT bike for me.
Not much weight difference, more aero for the flats.
what are the down his like? - ie do you rocket down hill then have to come to a virtual stop for a 90 degree turn (like wales) or are they more Lanza like, (Haria switch backs)
basically how much gear changing needed while being / covering the brakes?
for climbing - just select a gear and keep going. not much looks too steep (ie 10%)
Im torn between TT an road ....
if i decide road it will be an excuse to upgrade it ...
... New wheels
... Di2
... Custom paint Job
There's one steep bit early on that caught people out that might be 1 in 10 - but after that - nothing too bad.
Well that's me in for a pirate reunion. Look forward to seeing you all again
Nice one Avalaf!
Excellent.
Avalaf, will be great to have you along for another outing
Just under 400 in so far, or so the website shows
So not filling up superfast good
I am wavering back to a TT bike as if i do this i want to really give it my all in training and the race and i am glad I opted for TT after much umming and arring for IM Wales
After a great weekend at outlaw I think wife and I may be coming to Nice next year. I will start catching up with the thread and hotel thread. Hopefully should be a good trip.
Brilliant. Was great meeting you and your wife at the weekend. Glad to have you on board.
Mouse, you're going to be holding a lot of coats.
Might be easier to enter the race dear!
Oh good .. another Matt !!
Oi! Alright, I'll change my name!
* Entered *
Would any ladies coming to Nice consider sharing a room with my mate Simply Cornish to keep costs down? She's fully house trained
She could share with Swiss Mummy, that way I might get a decent night's sleep!!
Actually maybe not, wouldn't wish sharing with her (SM) on anyone who's not used to her!!
I'm sure we can find somebody to share! Might be worth her saying that she needs a roomy when emailing ISB!
I think 7755Matt should be called Matt the Stoat. Or Stoaty. Or something Weasely. Although they're exactly the same.
Stoatally different
I think he should call himself that ^^^
Wasnt there a Weasel in Captain Beakys band?
I have absolutely no idea what you're on about.
No change there then
Wilfred the Weasel
Captain Beaky
The greatest animals in the land we're Captain Beaky and his band
The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band
That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat
They march through the woodlands singing songs
That tell how they have righted wrongs
Once Hissing Sid, an evil snake, kept the woodland folk awake
In fear and trembling every night
In case he gave someone a bite
Said Artful Owl, 'We'll lie in wait
And one of us will be the bait."
Said Captain Beaky, "Have no fear! For I alone will volunteer!"
"No, make it me!" Said Reckless Rat
I'll stand there in my reckless hat
When Hissing Sid picks up my trail,
I'll just lasso him with my tail!"
"Oh, good idea" said Timid Toad, "We'll hide a long way down the road.
And when you've overcome resistance,
We'll rush along to your assistance."
Said Batty Bat, "I've got a wheeze!
I'll fly and hide up in the trees!
If Hissing Sid should slither by
I'll drop a boulder from the sky!"
Said Artful Owl, "The idea sound…how will you lift it off the ground?"
Poor Batty Bat just scratched his head,
"I hadn't thought of that," he said.
Said Owl, "The rest of us hold back. There's only one that he'll attack."
Said Timid Toad, "I like your plan."
"Good luck," said Owl, "For you're the man!"
So Timid Toad, his eyes a-popping,
Into the woodland night went hopping
Captain Beaky waved his hand, followed by his trusty band
That's Artful Owl and Reckless Rat, and above the trees flew Batty Bat.
"Stop!" Said Beaky, "I hear squeaking!"
"It's Batty Bat" said Owl, "He's speaking!"
"It's all in code," said Reckless Rat
Said Owl, "I'll just decipher that."
"A dash, a dot, two short, two long…
I rather think we've got it wrong.
It reads 'can clearly see the road,
Hissing Sid has captured Toad!'"
"Quick men!" said Beaky, "No delay!
"You mustn't let him get away!"
And leaping off, said "Follow me!"
And ran head first into a tree.
"Dot dot dot" squeaked Batty Bat.
Said Beaky, "Quick! Decipher that!"
Said Reckless Rat, "Perhaps we're gaining?"
"No," said Owl. "He says…it's raining"
Oh, how they ran to save poor Toad,
For they must find that snake's abode
Guided by old Batty Bat
Dot dot go this way dash, go that!
Then Hissing Sid's lair they spied
Were they too late? Was he inside?
Said Reckless Rat, "I'll get a pole
And stop him going down his hole!"
Then into sight the snake came hopping,
Right past his hole, no sign of stopping
Said Reckless Rat, "That's rather funny,
"There's something jumping in his tummy."
Said Captain Beaky, "Well I'm blowed!
Hissing Sid has swallowed Toad!"
And as the snake hopped out of sight,
Off they chased into the night.
At last they found him, tired and dizzy
And pulled out Toad, who said "Where is he?
For left alone, I felt quite sick,
And hopped into a hollow stick
Said Owl, "A clever step to take!
You jumped into that slippery snake."
"That was brave of Toad", said Rat
"That's just my sort of plan!" said Bat
Said Captain Beaky to his men,
"Well we'll not see Hissing Sid again!"
And as they marched off down the road,
They sang in praise of Timid Toad
Above them flew ol' Batty Bat,
With his wings stretched out, like that
Owl's idea, the clever fella
To have a flying um-ber-ella
Is it that I don't get it because I'm so young and you two are so old?
