Ian-sorry you can't make - see you next time

RJ- glad to hear you're back on track!!

Where's 'Teef- that's one of the most obvious puns around!! Reckon the mention of speed/circuit might be putting him off?

 

[Bollo]

I'm a almost certainly a no for this I'm afraid, unless dell decides my presence on the 27th FNRttC is undesirable.

Thanks for the lateral thinking tt, but the estimable Mrs Dr Bollo is an East London girl who gets a nosebleed if she spends more than five minutes west of Tottenham Ct Road . Young Bolletta isn't shy of a bit of junior retail, but Oxford St just 2 weeks before Christmas is a little hardcore for the both of them.

I'm watching tt - don't worry. However, it is my Mum's 90th birthday and I might have obligations... It is only 'down the road' for me anyway.
I have been there a few times but never raced - Wednesday mornings is Veterans time . As BM says, there is a tasty fast right-hander that encourages pile ups in the unwary.
Many Tuesday nights spent listening to the whirrr of chains down there - but it is a bit desolate.

Bollo sounds like you are bowing out for a worthy cause!! Enjoy the FNRttC!

'Teef - no worries; that's a major birthday for your mum, hope you've got a good day planned for her!
I thought you were going to pop up on the thread and make a comment about RJ's 'circuituos' recovery!

Veteran?!! I thought you were just turning 20?

just noticed this thread....would have come along living in Ealing and all, but am visiting friends in somerset...

at somes stage, I am going there to meet some of the chaps from Willesden CC who I believe are there on a Thursday eve

 

[ttcycle]

Ah shame david, maybe next time!

 

[BentMikey]

I think we'll all need helmets to ride at Hillingdon, IIRC. *glares*.

 

[redjedi]

Perhaps if your taking part in one of the events.
When I was there on Saturday there wasn't anyone there, to tell me to wear a helmet. I was anyway, in case I fall off again

I'm not sure we're going for serious racing anyway.....are we?

We could have a bit of fun . The person that wins the sprint for the line on each lap has to lead out the next lap.

I'm not sprinting with you, I've seen the results of TC1's wheels after the last one

How many more times. HE HIT ME









Funny really I was looking for some nice wheels for next years bike. Looked at some very light stiff carbon jobs and thought, no way am I getting them after seeing the state of TC1's Dura Ace carbon wheels WHEN HE RAN IN TO ME.

 

[BentMikey]

If I run into you it'll be like the texas chainsaw massacre.

Here is the list so far...any more people?

I'm still nursing the bike and trying to get the last bits sorted before I check he's up and running well and changing gears properly.I'm still off with chest infection/cold but hope I'm back to health to have a ride up at the track.

Please put me down as a maybe, will confirm closer to the date. I might also go and ride the winter series the day before - is anyone else going to that?
