    The chicken refers to himself in the third person.

    The chicken cares not for your mocking words

    The chicken has still not told us what his FCN is...

    RIGHT.

    That is IT.

    I am going back to my normal gearing on Monday.

    Heading along Uxbridge road this morning, at a decent-ish pace, about 22mph, slow for a light, head off again, and suddenly realise that someone is on my wheel. Cr@p.

    I spin up, hit about 24.5mph, and check in one of the handy reflective shop windows. He's dropped back, but he's still there... and he's on a hybrid. Oh god.

    I continue to accelerate, hit 43kph, and check again. At this point I'm really getting towards spinning out - I can hit and retain this sort of speed at this gearing with an 'on-ramp' hill, but not so much on the flat. I'm starting to bounce.

    Shop window check, and he's about 5 bike lengths back, but still there. I slow for an errant bus and stop for the lights at the triangle.

    He RLJs past a few seconds later, breathing very heavily.

    Jesus wept. Nearly lost the top of my head there. :shock:

    btw that 14t cogs of yours was worn way way beyond being useful i'm very surprised that your chain wasn't as slack as GT waist-line.

    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    elephant / teacher or whatever you're called, that's quite the ego you have there. whatever you do dont let it get bruised. i'm not sure you would cope.

    it amuses me all these silly commuter stories. but i think the bottom line is you all know underneath that you are too pussy to pitch up at a proper bike race and compete head to head over a decent distance and so you take out your insecurities and content yourselves with short sprints and being first to the roundabout or a set of traffic lights 400 yards up the road! congratulations.

    every time you "scalp" what you conceive to be a proper "roadie" you somehow delude yourself that this means your some great cyclist. you're not. you're just a numpty commuter like the rest of them. the vast majority of silly commuter racers, and that definitely includes you elephant, would have their a** served up to them on a plate in a proper race. if you don't believe me then pitch up to some local club event races and see for yourself.

    ahhh! there, there sssh now... :lol:
