Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I think that is no longer allowed in pro-cycling.
Btw: hello again Fellominati! Managed to find my password again.
Yes, AVV last Saturday made my day. RE ditto and omg MvdP was fined 1500… The father of the girls seems to have said he understands why MvdP got angry and that the girls were wrong. But who called the police then?
I thought I’d struggle to get any fitness/form back after disrupted riding and training – guinea pig injuries/COVID, etc.
I’ve raced 4 times this year so far and won 3 of them.
Between a crook back, building works and associated moving stuff around in the house, I’ve not been out on the road since late last Summer. Need to take myself by the earlobe and get out!
Hi gang! I got my racing legs on for the first time since 2018 and did my first ‘official’ non-aero time trial a weekend or so ago. I was hoping for top 5 in the non-aero category, but I only bloody won! Did a time of 22:45 for 10 miles and was top vet and top senior. I also went fast enough to have placed top 10 in the full aero event.

Hi all, I’m trying to get into this cycling thing again. Got some big plans involving some stupid long rides.
Hoping I wont get attacked by any more rodents or get that COVID again so I can have a good run at building some fitness.
Happy New Year – trying to recover some fitness after not being near a bike for seemingly months due to back issues. Hopefully now in a better state. Soooooooo unfit……..
Try having a guinea pig related injury, then a rock climbing related knee injury, then COVID…very much in a rebuilding phase about now. Signed up for a 200km mid Feb. So…yeah. That’ll be fun.
I wont show you a picture in case you’ve just eaten, but last May one of our guinea pigs had a moment of madness and sunk his teeth into the base of my left index finger. Long story short, infection of the tendon sheathe requiring two operations to clean out. Then months and months of physio to get the mobility back.
God, I remember that ad. Yellow pages? Gone the way of the dodo – replaced by google. I remember having a Falcon catalog and a Raleigh catalog that I would pore over for hours. The former had Bill Nickson standing next to their top model (Eeee by gum, by today’s standards he was a big lad!). The latter the whole prime time Raleigh squad with strange sounding foreign names like Cees, Gerrie, Ad, Jan. Finally got a 531SL team colors Raleigh in 82.Good times.
I have the great privilege of knowing lots of folks withhin the industry. Since I have helped Don Walker at quite a few NAHBS shows, I have met and helped out alot of industry folks at various brands. Josh Poertner at Silca being one of them. When they launched the 3D printed tools, he wanted to show off the custom option too, so he reached out to me to ask if he could use HHW as the test set. I was honored he thought to ask me, and obviously I took him up on the offer.

Cycology is the brand you are after. Cycologygear.eu or cycologyclothing.com
Can anyone help me with something – I half remember a post on Velominati related to a Kiwi/Aussie cycling clothing brand. The picture was a blonde female cyclist posing with her bike on a cobbled street. Anyone else remember that picture and the brand?
Hello All…a question…does anyone live in any of the following countries…Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and Turkey ?..if so I may ask for a tiny favor…
Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all. Here’s hoping for fewer lockdowns and reduced risk for everyone in the New Year. Wonder whether we will get anything like a near normal Classics Season in 2021. They are not far away and it would need a dramatic impact from vaccines to get things anywhere near normal.

Sad to read just now of the passing of the journalist and author Richard Moore. RIP.

Welcome back, everyone, looking forward to a new season!

Happy New Year all. Hope you’re not being too messed around by this bloody COVID thing still.

Errr – Guinea Pig related injury? I guess I can just about visualise being savaged by a Guinea Pig but on the other hand………

Yikes – and I was merely imagining that you nearly trod on it and did yourself a nasty avoiding flattening it.
No, it was proper savage/frightening/hilarious. The worst bit was calling my guitar teacher to tell him why I was cancelling lessons…
Are you old enough to remember this movie?
Interesting video from Team Jumbo Visma as to what it takes to be able to run a team
Happy New Year everyone. I’ll get to work building up the OTRL Events Calendar for 2022.
Merry Christmas and Very Best Wishes for the New Year.
Eeeee the old days……..

Welcome to @gorillaclimber hope you got your login details OK.
With the death of Bernard Tapie, I thought I’d throw this old gem out from the V days which happens to mention to Gallic changer. Enjoy!

I do remember the picture. Can’t remember the cyclist nor the brand. Pretty sure there was an article in Cyclist magazine with the same photo.
FYXO. I remembered in the end.
Hi all!
