Here is A grade in Melbourne on a quiet day!swampy1970 said:then go train for your d grade road race with geriatric women?
Just a quick question - is that what all the crits are like? Where's the corners?Geoff Vadar said:Here is A grade in Melbourne on a quiet day!
Still a few Olympians, a Giro rider, a current World Champion and an Australian pro squad though. And thats without Jono and the other usual domestic pros. We'd drop you like a rock fool.
We'd also drop you on this training ride too.
Sorry can you please confirm this: You are asking me where the corners are on a square circuit? Awesome.swampy1970 said:Just a quick question - is that what all the crits are like? Where's the corners?

I milked it for all it was worth.alienator said:Wow. Impressive, or at least it must be since you used the words "Olympians", "Giro", and "World Champion." I guess that means it's time for everyone to start measuring their dicks.
yeh Wade chose possibly the worst week alll year to film!Geoff Vadar said:
Yeah I know it was lame. I wasnt there (big deal lol), you werent there, no nankervis or rowbottom, or Braunsteins or any of the super cool kids with real grunt. Oh well.Jono L said:yeh Wade chose possibly the worst week alll year to film!
Shoulda had the camera on when you slack cnuts average 46 but we still lapped ya
Yes Alienater, my E-pee is huge.
It wasn't an insult - it was a question. Damn, is it that time of month where you need a bit more absorbant padding in the shorts to supplement the chamois?Geoff Vadar said:Sorry can you please confirm this: You are asking me where the corners are on a square circuit? Awesome.
They are straight forward though on that course because its very wide so its generally quick. But with 80 blokes it can get problematic strategically unless you get off the front early. Some guys do hate it though for being too 'boring'. Those guys generally never get a place or win. Amazingly there are lots of courses in Australia. Amazing but true.
Did your insult work? I hope it worked for you.
Living in the past much?swampy1970 said:I hated crits with a passion. I couldn't do the constant jumping from 40 to 55+kph and I'll be the first to admit it... but then again you keep reminding use that you "own" Melbourne or whereever it is you are, so 55kph is probably weak sauce for you.
That's good cause I don't rate me on the bike much at all either right now. Little annoying medical problems to do with pulmonary/lung function issues... I'm kinda surprised I can put out 300watts with only 78% lung capacity but that seems to be slowly getting better. That funnily enough that's about enough to hang in a bunch in the mid 40kph range or ~40kph on my own on a road bike - so yeah, like you said, I am slow.Geoff Vadar said:Living in the past much?
And yes I dont rate you at all. You're annoying and a ********. And a Pom.
God you sound like a ****head. I would have so much fun racing you cos I wouldnt give a flying **** if I slammed you into the gutter and off that poofy red bike. 300watts? Lolz you would need to bring a lot more than that little fella. 78% lung capacity? does anyone care?swampy1970 said:Little annoying medical problems to do with pulmonary/lung function issues...

No one averages over 32mph in a crit at glenvale you ******. Do we crank out 55kmh at times - ofcourse. An average speed of 46kmh for a 70 minute Sunday morning criterium on that circuit is par for the course for A grade. A field of 80 riders in A grade on a square circuit is problematic to raising the average speed for obvious reasons. Mostly due to tactical blocking and secondly due to going 'neutral' at times to get around the other grades racing on the course at the same time.Swamp Rat said:Next time post something impressive. If you do post something like a crit that's done on roads wider than your typical UK motorway that require zero bike handling skills, then make sure you're hammering it out at speeds in excess of 32mph.

If you want to tell us fairy land stories how you average 52kph in your crits with boardman back in 1946 on a hotdog course when you weren't a retarded hack coughing up a lung like today then go right ahead. I wont believe you.
I dont think the video was much chop either but it was a unqiue view of a crit so I thought it was worth sharing. Ofcourse the racing isnt cut throat because its a sunday morning club crit when hardly anyone turned up.
Getting lapped by jono one time isnt something to be too upset about either. He happens to be a world class u/23.
Did I say that getting lapped by Jono was something to be upset about, given that I don't know who Jono is? Maybe I should grab a bottle of mystical "ESP" and magically know who half these guys are... I just infered that 46kph wasn't all that fast for a crit, especially one where you don't have to slow down for corners. I'd be pretty impressed if you told me that you rode off the front for the last half of the race at 46+ and won.Geoff Vadar said:God you sound like a ****head.

swampy1970 said:Besides, right now, the longer rides up in the high Sierra Nevada's look much more intesting - 198miles and 20,000ft of climbing in some of the best scenery on the planet and I'll keep doing that until I can actually breathe properly again. I know... breathing problem and spending a lot of time over 8,000ft don't really go too well together.
Since this thread started with a reference to cars, I'll just point out that you make more noise than my 500hp big block camaro but don't sound as good and lack the go...

You need help. Lets start with your inept powers of observation. Did you notice the boys out of the saddle effectively climbing into one corner? That is because they are going up hill. It is difficult for us in Australia to maintain 55kmh through these uphill corners.swampy1970 said:...

Yeah you are doing 198mile training rides with 20,000ft of climbing all the time aren't you. Stop making **** up.swapy said:198miles and 20,000ft of climbing in some of the best scenery on the planet
Low tolerance level aye? They have drugs for ADD these days... You should try some... and where's the animated LMAO emoticon when you need it - Internet threats... Oooh, I'm so scared.

I would also advise updating your conceptual grasp of 'average speed' as opposed to 'race pace' to better facilitate future discussions.

I'm glad we dont race against each other cos my tolerance level for you would be low and I'd end up getting rubbed out for a few weeks by a comm because you sure as hell would run kicking and screaming to them I bet. Typical Pom.
You've lost me. We've gone from discussing criteriums to somehow talking about your leisurely charity rides through the hills surrounded by lovely scenery.swampy1970 said:I think the words "bite me" are quite appropriate here...
