The first two are quite normal for a round the town race or criterium, I've done a couple, great fun.

But a tandem trike? Never ever seen one, the frame must be something substantial! And in a race aye kayrumba

Really unprepared for it, so the aim will be to "get round"

Yep, good luck Jabba, hope the weather is kind to you

I reckon so, as Fizz says, plenty of time to train for it.

There's nine of us fatties entered in to the 80-miler. Can't see any of us opting into the longer distance whilst en-route

This amused me.

Rule #5 was quoted at my brother by another rider, who quoted Rule #7 in response.

I think I need to adhere to Rule #5 and Rule #10, also known as a Five and Dime

maviczap · 03-06-11, 02:33 PM

I agree with you and also rules 19,28 & 29

03-06-11, 05:59 PM

Rule 55

maviczap · 03-06-11, 06:05 PM
