Amazing!! What happened after 16mins to make your HR shoot up like that?

I think we need some more information about your lawn mowers, sit on or walk behind? Electric or petrol? Have you entered this on Strava like Valleyman has?

We’re sure to attract many more members once they know just what sort of club we are, I know a couple of the Velo’s are already considering the switch.

Did anyone else read in the Narberth Gazette about the localised water pollution in the Valley Road area? Apparently, a load of LSD got tipped into the mains water supply, you don’t think that has anything to do with this do you?

Great course, not much climbing, but why no heart rate data?

The first meeting of the Dynamos Wind Tunnel Group took place earlier this evening, a new venture popularised by the time trial aerodynamic success of Brad and Chris. A good turnout meant that the desired wind-cheating peloton shape, similar to the cross-section of an airplane wing, could be achieved by stategically arranging the riders according to size. Unfortunately, Roger’s desire to be first up every hill left the peloton looking like one of those wierd helmets the Dutch were wearing.

The whole effort was abandoned approaching Tavernspite when the heavens opened. Everyone seemed to make their own way home, Roger turned quickly on his heels citing a previous appointment, Flapjack resigned himself to a further hour in the hurricane, our Beloved Chairman is never further than a mile from the edge of the Rees estate where ever he is in Pembrokeshire and I think he summoned a member of his household staff to towel him and his bike off in one of his imposing gatehouses. The rest of us were blown back to Narberth soaked to the skin and chilled to the bone.

I jumped in the shower to warm up but couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like at one of those lesbian* hot-tub parties that are all the rage with the medical fraternity.

I have further revelations regarding the coming together of our beloved butcher Chairman and the somewhat accident-prone baker.

I cannot say where this information came from, to protect the innocent lets just call him ‘Jon’.

I was in a local cycle shop earlier today and noticed aforementioned BBC’s somewhat battered steed. ‘Jon’ talked me through what he thought must have happened, at no point did he mention the word accident, he did however reveal APB’s bike quick release lever must have already been partly open before he plunged into into his victim’s rear end. A modern day equivalent of the slashing blades on Boudicca’s chariot.

And he’s got previous…..

Perhaps this could be a Class 4 Rogue (or Rouge?) 😈

As a featherweight, I’m planning to do the family ride and even that depends on being able to wake all the children up in time.

Still, at least I can always console myself with the fact that I did the Daffodil Classic proper and cycled up Pendine hill for a second time to get home.

[Sweaty Eds]

Best of luck with the ride tomorrow. Won’t be able to make it, which is a shame because I was looking forward to the Sweatyproof pace.

[Sweaty Eds]

Humblest apologies to all for suggesting it was club policy to speed off, I realise now it is part of the initiation process. Hard love, if you like, similar to the story of Hansell and Gretel, if you can find find your way home and turn up again next week…you’re in son.

I enjoyed translating the club motto, my computer seemed to think Nemo was a fish, the adepto bit it wasn’t sure about but this must be the origins of the word adapt, reliquit is obviously without and the post bit could be a pole or stick or such. The only translation I can make sense of is ‘We can go fishing without a rod’. I love Ray Mears and all that survival stuff, is the Slinky Otter going to show us how to tickle trout?

[Sweaty Eds]

No need for an extra training surely, Valleyman.

I’d assumed that the Civic week ride would be like a usual club ride. Everyone meet at Bloomfield between 9 and 9.05. Tweak agreed route slightly, adding or avoiding hills depending on allegiance. Set off in a group full of good intentions about staying together, split on first hill/fast section/corner, regroup a couple of times then start formation peeling off for home. Continue above for three or four hours until one or two veterans left with new member then leave them miles from home on the hills. Do it all again the week after.

We’re great at that already, no need to practice!

[Sweaty Eds]

I knew there was something deeper with you, Mat. The Wurzels! Bloody fantastic. My favourite album is Top of the Crops, it’s got all the classics on, The Blackbird (with a gurt big stick I’ll knock him down, Blackbird I’ll ave ee), I am a Cider Drinker and that little known collaboration with the Gallagher boys, Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Well done on the trip Mat, 10 vertical miles of climbing! Great blog too and you finished writing it, Valleyman take note!

[Sweaty Eds]

Valleyman, I am not trying to rush him but I am keen for the next installment.

It may be pertinent to mention here that you could do with getting a little rush on yourself with regard to finishing the Mallorca tale. Two months ago you wrote all mysteriously ‘to be concluded……’ but when, Valleyman, when? Bloody Hell, that polytunnel went up quicker than the Mallorca blog ….although is that finished? Maybe I’m on to something here.

Think you missed a trick with the reasons for absenteeism last Sunday. Surely following Kim;Bottom Bracket should have come Roger;Bottom or even Roger;Can’t be arsed.

[Sweaty Eds]

Don’t want to rush you Mat but can we have some more?

Don’t suppose you wore a HRM, my HR shoots up when I cycle from my house to Bloomfield, would love to see what someone’s does over the Grande Alps.

[Sweaty Eds]

Good luck Mat

[Sweaty Eds]

It must have been the Bwlch mate, I haven’t been the same since.

Maybe that was to do with whatever Clover put in my cocoa mind….

[Sweaty Eds]

Sounds amazing, mate.

Are you going as part of an organised group or did you arrange it yourself? Are you cycling on your own or with mates? How are you carrying your stuff? Which bike are you using? Will you post the photos up when you get back? What’s twitter?

[Sweaty Eds]

That’s my sort of cycling. Sounds like heaven!!!

Mind you, don’t know how heavenly an average speed of nearly 30mph would be. How many categories are there? Perhaps I could be broken in nice and gentle in a category 20 or something. Don’t be misled by my burst of speed on the road out of Tonypandy, that was not athletic prowess but fear, pure fear.
