Are you not riding the TDF this year, Doug?
03/03/2009 at 07:07 pm
He’s banned, some sort of misunderstanding about riding a ‘Dougatti’…….. Idiots. They were going to invite you Alastair, but Steve sent them a memo regards your ‘directional difficulties’, so they played it safe and invited Armstrong back, after all they only have three weeks to get round France. If you pro rata the time taken to get round Hartshead/10 mile TT with malfunctioning ‘GPS’, it was decided that the french economy simply couldn’t cope with such a long Tour……

Lol. Quality, can’t respond to that Brad / Robert or whatever your name is this week!
03/03/2009 at 10:19 pm
The 21 days in July are still free. Get me a Ducati and I’ll thrash them all; and I’ll ride “clean”, without a GPS

Oh, and the Fred Whitton 10.05.09
04/03/2009 at 01:14 am
Bloody hell, Fred Whitton is doing well to say he will be 100 on the 10th of May this year!!!! Could he give any advice to our learned friend KH on how to ride a bike with legs faster than the Large Hadron Collider?
I dunno…. I’m off to find a flat bit of road to go reasonably slow on

Oh and another thing , what’s this about “challenge” “sportive” “ride” “teddy bear’s picnic” ?
Race you lightweights.
Tick…… tick……tick……tick….BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Race? In Britain? You mean sit in a bunch for 50 miles on a flat route, fail to stay away in a breakaway, get caught by a bunch, stay in a bunch for another 5 miles, moan because there happens to be a hill on the route (which is actually only a hump backed bridge), and then fail to sprint for the line because you didn’t realise what was going on? Hmmh, give that a miss, I think.
Or, sit in a rather peculiar position and ride on a flat road against “the clock” for 10 miles, which isn’t against other people, so it’s not really a race anyway. Not worth getting the bike out for that one.
Nah… if you REALLY want to race - go to the Continent. They do it properly. Otherwise you are just pretending, like the rest of us who do the Sportives. The only difference is, our rides have…….wait for it……HILLS! Proper ones, too. Do you remember those, McCall?
04/03/2009 at 03:06 pm
I remember Jimmy Hills, does that count…. “Tomlinson”?

Alex,
Can you get hold of a year planner or somthing like that so we can put that up on the fabled notice board?
Either that or we just have print outs of the lists of different types of events.
Is there a free online “diary” that we can edit to keep up to date?
See you tonight, I’m not going to turbo so we can discuss this and get it sorted.

That sounds great.. just the sort of thing i was thinking of.. Maybe Craig Newton could help us with whats possible on line????
05/03/2009 at 12:22 pm
Been playing on google calendar, got the code for Craig to embed into this blog and on the home page. It looks good and have set up a google e-mail account and calendar for the club which I’ve set up to be public worldwide so anyone can see what we are riding.
I’ve got passwords set up for us so we can edit the calendar and can limit this to certain people or all members or post it on here for all to see, whatever we see fit really.
E-mail address is ravensthorpecc@googlemail.com will tell the password tonight.
The link for the calendar is
