Devil Ride test ride – the report :)

Devil Ride Recce 2009

Devil Ride Recce 2009

What a great day out on the bike – read Dave’s brilliant report of the test ride on Cyclosport…and weep in sympathy (not laughter Dave, no never) at the alarming loo incident…

It was my comeback ride after 5 weeks of limping around feeling sorry for myself, but the real hero must be Christian – his longest ride by a good 20 miles and barely a flat bit in sight.  Nice one :-)

New road race in calendar – Stafford 9th Aug

Details have been sent to me of an addition to the BC road race calendar on 9th Aug, and not yet on BC’s on-line calendar – Stafford RC’s 60th anniversary road race.  Fills the August race void nicely and will be a come-back target for the clicky hipped one ;-)   Details below: Continue reading ‘New road race in calendar – Stafford 9th Aug’

Marmotte – 3 weeks to go !!!

Ok 3 weeks to go, gulp !! TopbikeTV have posted some videos on youtube, in last 2 weeks, that may be worth a view, if like me you haven’t done before. Titles ‘Marmotte 07′ and ‘Post Marmotte 2006′ give an idea of a few different aspects and a bit of ‘pee’ taking of a few of the participants :-)

Can I suggest, subject to approval from Phil and Chris that the participants for this year meet at Epic shop for a viewing of the ‘cyclefilm’ DVD, so Simon can give us an idea of what to expect at various points on course. A proposed time could be 6pm Saturday 20th June 2009. How would that fit with everyone ??

Did I say 3 weeks, Oh Dear me !!!!!!! ;-)
