Ok kids, Pop Quiz: If the Tea Thread were on a forum ride how do you imagine that would go?
I reckon out in front would be:
@172traindriver (tutting at how slow we all are), closly followed by
@BrianEvesham,
@the_mikey,
@SteCenturion and
@IDMark2 in the peleton.
Then you would have a group of "ladies" showing no discipline whatsoever, cycling all over the road and chatting:
@ScotiaLass @welsh dragon @Turdus philomelos @Lullabelle @Saluki
Two Fat Lads at the Back:
@Bobby Mhor and
@Fubar ignoring each other, obviously.
Then bringing up the rear - Dear Old
@classic33 with his sandals and scythe, muttering to himself about the old days and yorkshire puddings.
Thoughts?
Contentious....
I have it quite differently...
Up front, the pack leaders & Club guys
1.
@172traindriver (speed merchant & hill climber)
2.
@Fubar long distance expert (solo breakaway Jens Voight type).
In the draft...
3.
@the_mikey (regular short sharp bursts) ready to steal intermediate sprint points.
4.
@Brian Evesham (another short sharp blaster) would contend the sprints if he didn't keep stopping to photograph action men.
Super Domestique....
5.
@Mo1959 (on the bottle run) puts in all the hard work eschewing the glory.
6.
@classic33 ... bating others into doing a bit of grafting.
Puncheurs/Roleurs...
7 > 10
@SteCenturion (at the back like a fat Luca Paolini)
@stephec @ScotiaLass @Saluki
Domestiques...and underated
11.
@IDMark2
12.
@Turdus philomelos (mileage machine).
Time Trial Campione'
@Blue (destroys the field while showing off his funnny shaped helmet).
Lead Out Man....
@meta lon (delivering the sprinters into prime at 250 metres out)
Team Car.
Director Sportif...
@welsh dragon (Bossy Boots & Dungeon Master)
Soignuer & Performance Coach
@Lullabelle
Data & Performance Analyst....
@SatNavSaysStraightOn (making sense of our nonesense)
Broom Wagon....
@Bobby Mhor (very experienced from his wwww days on the wagon at the Cooncil) will pick up the Lame & Lazy & the Lantern Rouge... but likely to disappear & set up a Yaggi - Mr Miaggi aerial poley thing to work a flux cappacitor at 30, 50 & 90 metres.
Anyone I left out ?
