On your Bike

Can't do both!

You could with a tripod and a camera with movement detection. ! Just need a platoon of marines to guard it in MK I guess!!

That could be a good use for that little armoured personnel carrier I saw on Saturday

Who knew MK was that hilly

Thanks Skull You'd be amazed - we have loads of little hillocks all over the place around here although only two are really truly hills in that they need gradient warning signs but all those little ones sure add up and both when cycling and running there's no avoiding them...

The course we raced last evening has quite a cheeky little hill going up into Astwood village and is universally hated, as is the even cheekier one going up into North Crawley

Given those hills, my current fitness/training level and the significant headwind I'm very happy with 18mph

I almost achieved no-bike-repairs-pending-nirvana on Sunday after I fitted a dropper post - but it's OK, because I remembered that I have to shorten the rear brake hose on my MTB

And no doubt a bike will break - youngest son is mumbling about needing a new front tyre on his MTB. Oh, and I need to see if I can improve the brake on his BMX.

Ah, saved, situation normal with repairs pending has been re-established. Phew!

I was confusticated for a moment there as I always read 'MTB' as Motor Torpedo Boat

I was back behind the lens last evening for the NBRC Wednesday TT meet..

This rider is giving it the full gas and sprinting hard for the finish line.

He had good reason to go as fast as he could... He was being chased...

By a bus

Is that the support car or broom wagon, the colours are matching as if the same team.

He was one of the top finishers Paul

It would make a great support vehicle - but only if you are based at Luton Airport!

Should of put spikes on the bus, bet his time would of been amazing

Even without spikes that bus helped him get a very good time Ryan He raced the 10 miles in 21m 54s which is a very quick time - a full ten minutes better than I can do!

[Rp0thejester]

That's to slow, wouldn't of made it if I was the bus driver

[mickthemaverick]

That very fact strengthens my argument about cyclists needing to have a license to use the roads. Tootling along at 9-12 mph in the gutter is one thing, but racing buses at 30mph just ain't right without a license !!

UK Death Race TT, now that's a sport I could watch

Me too, especially if the losers had their bikes crushed!!
