I read and re read this post and just couldn't get it at all. Was there a link to the felt lined tweezers? Did this happen before or after the press up? Then it hit me in the subtext. John, I don't know how you come up with it time after time after time but it's brilliant to the point of understatement.John Knees said:Jan's words "Team Bridgewood Castle (sounds like a pub team)" reminded me of a delightful Sunday. As press sec. of Worthing Excelsior I went for a shufti at the regional road race championships, and fetched up in a pub crammed Brighton Excelsior members. They're a happy and gregarious crew, who've been known to sup some ale on occasion.
Can't remember the location (after all, this was a year or ten back) other than that the pub was on a sharp left-hand bend: each lap a spotter would shout "here they come" and the pub would empty, leaving a half-dozen regulars in baffled silence.
Once the race had gone by, the place would once more fill with chattering cyclists, until "here they come" and everyone rushed outside.
Never found out what the landlord made of it, as his pub must have emptied and refilled at least twenty times in the course of the race.
I had a pie and a pint myself.
Happy memories!
John.
Perhaps we were a bit hasty in asking you to be Honorary Coach!bikeriderfrance said:hi there i have found the answer, change of diet, i used to eat at breckies, 6 slices of toast with jam on em,, now i have a bowl of muselie ???? 2 slices of toast with jam and 2 small milk breads...all washed down with instant gung coffee. i find that 10 minutes later when i am out training, i throw the lot up, this is great i have lost 2 kgs in the last 2 weeks... less weight to carry around.. bon courage

there will be no holding you now that you've got the wind up your ****: departmental, regional? national? then who knows??? or thereabouts since you became honorary team coach. Now its not that I'm complainin' you must understand but you better come up with something else fast or you'll be out on yer ear do you hear and we'll be on the lookout for a REAL coach!!! We'll give you one more chance but this time you'll have to be on the ball cos others are lining up to take your place I do believe.
hi there. well here goes. i put that little training plan into the fold to see if any idiots would follow it, if they did they must all be very gullable, you all did so here is plan No 2.. get up at 5.30 am every morning, nip up to the local M 1/5/6/9/25/40/66.or the nearest M road to you, nip down the slip road and sit on the hard shoulder white line... you will find that you can ride at about 85k/p/h until the next slip road, where you pull off, try and find a bit about 5 miles long.. retrace step 1 and ride back on the other hard shoulder white line. this is my SPEED training tip for this week..ps if you can jump a big wagon doing 95kph get in behind that....ps you will need a 59x12 gear set up.. bon courage.Jacques Dupont said:Very well done indeed BRF
But all is not rosy I'm afraid: we've been following your advice and none of us have thrown up yet although we've all gained 4 kilos

HI THERE. ERRRRRRRR FOR UUUUUUUUUUUU.. READ LOTUS ELITE, 66X11 FIXED, AT LEAST 15 MILES LONG, YES WITH TAIL WIND... MAYBE FROM WATFORD GAP SOUTH BOUND M1.. BON COURAGE..Over the Hill said:
Before Jaques was Geneticlly Modified ( geddit?) we had to drive to Paris from Montpellier to the said place. On the way there a Porshe (I think) came whistling past with WW plates. Sometime later we passed this thing with a brokenback in the drain ditch. Although my pal Michel Marin rode for a different team, we got on well. He did speak some English, however when he got out of the car in Paris in front of what might be termed an archway with a stout wooden door, he rang the bell, and it was answered. The man who looked after these things welcomed him, and we pootled into the courtyard TBC....bikeriderfrance said:HI THERE. ERRRRRRRR FOR UUUUUUUUUUUU..

hi there,Jean Dubois said:
what a surprise i find i have been sacked, well thats ok by me, BUT my mateys, i am still on a ROLL, yes WON the 40's and over G P De Elne this afternoon.. jumped away with a strong guy, with 3 laps to go, did him in the sprint, not bad to say he was 17 years younger than me.. so its 4 races 4 weekends 4 wins... going for the BIG one next week, must keep focused.. will do just that...bon courage.
Don't worry about getting the tin-tack. Jaques is obviously still suffering from the effects of being GM'd some years ago. I understand his predicament, those vitamin pills were good though, and the fortnightly injections of Anti-Tetanus did the trick. Never did get tetanus.bikeriderfrance said:hi there,
