Team BKool CycleChat

[Soarerv8]

Who are you ?!?




Feck, pneumonia is really nasty. You have my sympathy. Really take care getting back into normal life. It knocks you for 6 and leaves you vulnerable for some time.

Thanks Bob, I am indeed a vulnerable adult.

Tada!!!!!!

I'm back (just in case anyone had noticed I had been away).

Managed to get viral pneumonia just after Christmas which wasn't very nice but that morphed into pleurisy which was very not nice. Only good thing about this cocktail of lung unpleasantness was that it was quite conducive to weight loss (but probably as much from the good bits of me as the flabby bad bits).

Haven't dared go near a bike as lungs still quite weak but have been walking and even trotting a bit. Plan to be back on the bike soon though.

Have I missed anything? (Assuming there hasn't been a cycle chat equivalent of Trump entering the White House?)

I was just wondering what had happened to you! Welcome back and glad you're feeling better - that sounds really nasty

 

[BILL S]

You want some of us to volunteer to be yanks after yesterday's comic inauguration?!?

Now Bob!!! Didn't we always say we'd never mix turbo'ing and politics?

 

[bridgy]

I think from the replies we have a potential team of AAAC, Bill, Daddy Pig, Turbo Tommy and me?

We'll have no more comments about being unworthy or crap at certain terrain or letting the team down - we are who we are and it's a bit of (competitive) fun!

Check you can definitely make the date /time mentioned by Jacob and if so I will start a new thread to continue plans without clogging things up here and let Jacob know we're up for it....

I had thought over the last few days that you haven't been on for ages and was going to post something.
Would be nice to have some of the old gang back.
Get better soon see you on the virtual tarmac.

 

[Breedon]

Sure do; use the memory to send me off to sleep contentedly most nights

Perhaps we can get Kipster to set up some comm's for the team on the day so we can take orders from the Road Captain and let others know whether to wait or not or if you are waiting etc.
We could also to with a Sports Director who can watch over the teams stats to see if anyone is 'cooking' themselves and perhaps even watch the opponents stats so we can get an idea of their condition.

Feck, not good at all ! Take care of yourself and don't do too much too soon.

And now Thomas R is showing some realy steady power readings on WC Stage 6:

 

[AAAC 76C]

I think I am going to have to do stage 5 properly and go from the getgo.
I was still getting rigged when I did it last time.
I will have a go some time tomorrow and stage 6 on Tuesday.

 

[CXRAndy]

AAAC Private tactics would be better?

Thomas using ERG to moderate his early effort

without wishing to tempt fate it might be prudent to also have a 'reserve', and were it to be Bob, i'm happy to lend him my bkool pro, i live in Forest Hill, quite near to Tulse Hill

 

[Randyberlin]

I have sent the information to 2 USA riders who would be competitive. One Jason Kinman is a bkool friend who wears a green outfit and the other is Craig Harrison who is the USA bkool rep. I hope they can put together a team worthy of you brits.
