Out first round!! but it's the taking part.
The beers sound good. -
Thanks for the route rabsda. I hadn't had a chance to really think about it, so I'll be taking the easy route, angling for a finishing place rather than any kind of glory. That's a real help.
-
My route is planned!
-
Remember, all those competing, to bring your £2 with you tonight (bring change if possible).
-
I think it's too late to get an NJS nut sack for increased speed.

I love it. Schematics!

I've got my racing wheel on. 16 straight-pull radially laced spokes, deeper profile, lighter weight.
EDIT: It's a front wheel before I start hearing nonsense about using radial lacing on the back.

I didn't build mine. It's a shimano RS10. Budget wheel but light compared to what came on the Fuji

Saw some of youse headin to Big Slope? after the sprints... Outside Gazelle having a smoke...
-
Congrats you all. Who's Tojo then? Was there a good turn out?
I'm really not sure if I'll be able to make it tonight, as I'm getting some serious grief from my knee following the accident (if it's not one thing it's the next - I dread to think what's going to start giving problems once the knee fixes up). I know the general HTFU rule, but seriously I'd rather be riding for the rest of my life than risking doing real damage by riding too much on an injury. I'll see how the day pans out.

Krakow - Get your knee seen to properly. I had an accident at work when I was eighteen and damaged my knees - tendons and ligaments. I HTFU'd and got on with it but it was only seven or so years later that I realised they weren't right and now I have all kinds of problems - regular dislocations, almost constant pain, cartiladge damage and a build up of scar tissue behind the kneecap. It's no fun. Get back to the Doctor!
I hope you're back in the saddle soon!

What way are you all coming through town tomorrow? Along the clydeside path? The reason being me and smout live in Finnieston, so we'll be getting our grub and meeting up around here and we can tag on as you come by.
If you are already clydeside by the time you reach Bell's Bridge we can be there, or if you're coming up through town and down Finieston Street to go through the shitey plastic tunnel we can be there. Or wherever else.
thoughts?
