Well, Trubie I really admire your dedication dude. I remember watching that documentary about Lance Armstrong and how much he trained. Going up that mountain pass in the rain, snow piled up on the side of the road...and questioning Bruyneel when he was told that he could not ride any further thanks to heavy snow.

I decided that was the way to be...ride no matter what...it may be cold, but it will make you tough.

That grandiose plan fell apart miserably the first cold wet ride I tried! I'm a fair weather cyclist now...and proud of it.

 

Trubie, stay in bed and keep healthy...dont lose time from falling sick. IMO

Ok I get it, you coach Slave to be the step champ, and get ever closer and closer to my backwheel on every ride.

Now instead of motivating me , you demotivate me, and tell me to stay in bed.

That rest thing only applies after you've actually trained.

 

I will take your advice more serious when the real winter (4/5 one this year) starts.

Trubie, dude, Mona is going to klap me into a different blood group when she finds out I been two timing her. And Nance is prob'ly going to have a cadenza as well.

 

What worries me most though is how our friend Joe Bond Low is going to react to this.

 

I can see a pair of cement shoes waiting for me and a swimming lesson in my new shoes.

 

Trubes, bud, you should be used to the dark by now.

Trubie...I have to use what ever tactics I can to throw you off course! Now that I think of it, is your frame the right size? Those shoes did not look like a perfect fit either!! Bwa ha ha!

 

Seriously dude, kudo's on riding in the rain...just know I am too soft.

8 hours for the week makes more sense...and me more at ease!

You produce the card, I'll ride Campy or whatever you tell me to. As long as I can have a say in colour choice.

Trubie we all know that you are on your bike at 5am so you have a reason to wear your skiing gear.

I didn't see any cyclists this morning at 5am but I did see a few peeps jogging, they were also wearing some form of skiing gear - what's going on ??

 

Those joggers are real pansies............

You wont see the cyclists, just watch out for the red and white lights that are slightly smaller than those the motorcars use. If you see those, you know its riders that dont really have a very happy homelife

 

I normally see a few cyclists on my way to gym but today I saw noffing.

So are you saying that you have an unhappy homelife ?

You out at 5am most mornings and even when it's raining you out at 5am.

Don't you know what BM weather is ?
