I'm intrigued - how do you get the kiwi to stand still, and do you use felt-lined tweezers?

hi there quite agree, a very dosjointed job by DD, BUT who is there to replace him, G jones did a good job, he's been there done that and maybe he will be back,, the other joker DH is a failed MB rider, he has no idea of the racing scene, just here him, its all quote i think so , will check, maybe i am right.. he knows nowt... i sent in a couple a forum messages last year in the tour,, i have contacts down here with thors hushvolt,, he mentioned a few times on air , what i sent in but never mentioned BRF only once when he crapped on me after he had miss read one of my emails.. my old mate saw him at the DR dinner and said that BRF was one of the old guard in yorshire,, keep on your toes. DH said i should p................ss of.. some guy.. bon courage.John Knees said:Watching Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, I've come to the conclusion that dear old David Duffield is turning into Stanley Unwin. Either that, or my tinnitus is really taking over!
I've always enjoyed DD's cycling+cheese+local history+wine+rider profiles commentary in the past, but a good 5% of what he was saying was untelgbel.
Sad!

My dear Brf I am doing this for fun and have absolutely no intentions of either entering or trying to win a race but I did ride a couple of cyclosportifs "le Roger Pingeon" near Montpellier 87 kms with a 700 m col and the "Clarac" at Auch 147 kms very undulating and finished both around about the middle and really enjoyed them and am looking forward to the next one but first I'm off on holiday to Costa Rica for 2 weeks without the bike.bikeriderfrance said:hey 240 k's per week, **** man thats kids stuff. i do that by jeudi, get out man,, remember there about 2 hours of light before 8.30 am (60kms) and about 3 after 17.30.

Congratulations on your win in Sigean keep up the good work
Blow me down with a feather, I'm confused. Last week. I happened to look for a result on the BCF website, and chanced upon your name down the list for this particular event. Can you possibly enlighten me? Are you 56 and came 54th, or are you 54 and came 56th?Jean Dubois said:Hi Jan, I met a tall bloke in our bike shop this afternoon having his computer re calibrated from girlie kilometres to big girls blouse kilometres. Why he couldn't do it himself, god only knows (Beachboys - 1960's). Strike any chords?
Anyway I ran your work problem by him and he said that so long as you really are working fulltime, not just pretending, then you have special dispensation to do kilometres and compare them with other peoples miles.

hi there wots the problem with the computer, why areryan_velo. said:Me again, and I've come w/ good news. I just got a new cannondale cadd 8 today, it really kicks ass. It was 1500$ but much of that was taken off b/c i race w/ the team. I've been doing what my coach tells me and I'm doing well, I pulled off 21 average on a 10mi TT on thursday, my first one. I've got some races coming up soon and I will keep you updated as often a possible. I'm not going to be raceing juniors much this year and I will mostly be doing cat 5s. I'm still having some trouble w/ my server at home and my parents don't think we need a new one, even though the one we have now sucks, so i still can't sign on at home.
Cheers, Ryan
Of course Ryan we can't know what you are doing unless you tell us. I don't think that 21mph is quick at all. I'm sure you were going better than that last season.ryan_velo. said:Me again, and I've come w/ good news. I just got a new cannondale cadd 8 today, it really kicks ass.
