Yeah I am tempted to drop in around 6-ish if I can get away from work ok, come on guts there was loads of banter about this last week...where is everyone?
A disappointingly timed bout of manflu might keep me away - I've been rough since Monday, so history dictates I should be alright by tomorrow but it seems to be a virulent strain this time round - even my bird's caught it - maybe it's SARS. As long as I don't feel contagious I'll be there, but may not be till shortly after 6, I'll be the one shouting "Anyone here from a bike forum"
Rule #5 // Harden The censored Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
You Tube is doing its best of impression of suffering from Man flu too - is that the "What about me, I've got a cold too" one? If so, a classic and I'm glad I'm not the only one who understands that given Men's naturally higher pain threshold, when we're ill, we're really really ill. Child birth has nothing on my sore throat, I can tell you

I totally agree but good god man never mention the "CB" weapon in public
Phew! I think we're safe, no one noticed.

I fear I will have to withdraw from the evening's fesivities. Similar to Horton I woke up this morning with a small tickle in my throat. Over the day this has mutated into what I now suspect to be SARS.
Apologies. I hope those that do make it have a great time...

Doh, forgot that there might be a female of the species lurking around...
Anyway, the seagulls round here have definitely infected me with the human variant of HN51 virus which combined with my suspected SARS has all but written me off! The only consolation is that I fear I might have accidentally coughed on some unsuspecting colleagues.
I'm expecting Dustin Hoffman round mine by the time I get home dressed in a big green tent with convenient window and breathing apparatus...
Have a good night chaps - watch out for the docks on the way home
Sorry folks I can't make it this time, as much as I'd love too the logistics via FGW are plain stupid, but I'll def. be up for the next one and will book an overnight stay.
Have fun take pics and make sure not to lose revdee
Oh and no racing

An inauspicious start, GTV, Gert and myself, two cyclists and a pratt in a tux
Not only that but Mud Dock was closed, we decamped to the Shakespeare just down the road and had a good old chinwag. bizarrely the pub was full of other chaps also in their best bib and tucker, so I didn't stand out like too much of a sore thumb.
It was good to meet you both and hopefully we'll have more luck and peeps next time.
Great to meet you guys too!! Few bits to chew on out of conversation - trip to velodrome in Newport (Velodrome in Bristol is death on a stick!). And a monthly (bi monthly more likely) meet - beer session!
Again - great to meet you, lets do this more often!
Don't you know this secret of SCR in Brizzle? No, neither do I. Please tell.
Aha!!!!!! There is - it is up at the Airbus round-a-bout on the junction of the A38 and A4174. I have only been told of it's existance, but intend to scout the zone this week on my newly built fixie (Once I have fitted a brake!). I have been told that it is only for the brave......About 10 mins cycle from my pad.....been meaning to go up there, but never done it!
However, we used to go to the Newport velodrome with the rowing club......bike's can be hired there, you need either trainer or Look Delta cleats....this would probably be a safer bet!
The Bristol BMX Track is up round there too - now that really would be death on a stick on your shiny new fixie - with or without brakes! Let us know what you find - I'm always up for trying something new (once I'm SARS free)
