Gas, I have the perfect mascot for you - I'll bring him to Deerstalker. Check out his ink
A new bath toy (for the kids, of course).
yes put a duck on it...
My mascot is a duck, he survived the storm, floods and some pretty terrible cycling
What's this IronGasser stuff? You didn't do an Ironman, you did a Challenge event...so shouldn't you be ChallengeGasser, or maybe *Challenged* Gasser
Oh .. he's come back now has he .. now he has finished being sponsored and prodded and poken
Surely if one is Gassily Challenged then one has wind ..
not finished being sponsored actually, Mouldy.... for our next feat we're looking to see if we can break the Hoyt record of 13h43... just finished a local paper interview and still 220 to update
However, I think i need to be a little quicker next time out the stocks and no i'm not fekkin' doing wales before anyone suggests it...
Sweden sounds nice
ah yes and still being prodded for another 5 weeks
absolutely correct on the gas though! WTF is going on with my body, it's all that nutrition stuff isn't it? Slowly killing me from within
^^ love the new name Gassy
I'm not so sure Frag. I have a mental picture which is combining go-go and Gas, and it's making me feel slightly
I'm reacquainting myself with the lovely Ms Wellington, and have been on the turbo for the past few evenings. Today I went for a short run and tried one of her Run Faster interval sets for the first time. Really liked it, and it certainly made the (short) time pass more quickly than usual. I think my running mojo has stopped being in the huff and has finally come back
Testing was relatively routine and didn't blow a gasket so that's good news
Been trying to work out what/how to focus on... I've pulled out Relentless Forward Progress to read and perhaps the runner in me might reappear
Ok Gas, listen carefully and pay attention. Please don't make me use my nurse voice. I know you're an Ironlabrat, and will have comittments there, but FFS have a rest
'commitments', even
I promise i'll have a rest, as soon as I get back from test driving the new bike I built for riding in the mud....
Readers Bikes
Best put in a plastic bag, Gas, so as not to corrupt the innocent young minds who frequent the thread.
I like the fact he says its a new bike he built - but the photos appear to have been taken in something that's looks suspiciously like a shop ....... mmmmmmm
Wow Raf, you may have a point there. On closer inspection, I see that the figure in the background adopting the masculine He-Man pose might not be Gas in his well-stocked garage after all. Must get to Specsavers
Wales is calling you, Gas .... Wales ... Wales ...
Either that's a mannequin in the photos or Gas is going after Gladys' title!
I have a bike shop run by a friend about 300 yds from the house.... we had a bike shop lock in with some large bottles of peroni
My bank manager has written to me and asked if would consider moving house as apparently my average bank balance has declined significiantly since Steve decided to open the shop near my house... on the flip side Steve's bank manager thinks it was a great idea for Steve to open in such proximity to a very easy target!
So in short it should be the bike I built with a little help from my very able friends
(one of three bikes built this year...)
note my BMC has also metamorhpisized...
Frame - same
Group Set - Dura Ace shifters, ultegra derailleurs, ultegra brakes, rotor crank and Q rings, shimano carbon pedals, Bontrager RXL Carbon Brake levers
Base & Tri Bars - Profile design carbon
Wheels - Spin Carbon SSC50's with gold hubs
Seatpost - same
Seat - Dash carbon saddle and elite rear cage
So bascially, it's got the frame and nearly everything stripped off it was used to build the cross bike, some other bits have been sold or given to new homes and I still have some bits I haven't manage to re-use in another project yet
Rotor crank and Q rings???? Tart!!
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!
I'll be there to cheer you on (and laugh when you're up to your Sandy Shaws in freezing cold murky water), and have warm milk and toasted muffins waiting at the finish.
Anyone else fancy a trip to the stunningly beautiful Borders to see Gas get cold, wet and utterly trashed?
The plank...! the plank...! make him walk the plank screamed the pirates from the deck... Macscully stood at the edge of the plank and calmly slipped on his goggles, 3.86km to land he thought, coincidence? Would “she” be waiting where he left her when he made it to the beach?
I can swim a bit
I can bike a bit less
My running is well not really “running” not sure what it is really but I know it’s slow...
You lot seem a nice bunch so hope you don’t mind if I tag along? hopefully you dont send me off the plank...
