When, precisely, is this Race Of The Titans [sic] scheduled to take place?

Has anyone told the Hadron Collider boys to bring their measuring instruments to it quick sharp?

We are still floundering in the boastful talking, hype building stage! Lennox vs. Evander took years.... Once my people have successfully negotiated with Jash's people an announcement will be made!

You're a Lawyer maybe you can help.?

There is some nervousness on Jash's part about wheels (he doesn't want me using the superbly true - to within a molecule - Fulcrum Racing 7's) :roll:

There is also a debate about lycra colors Jash wants to go with the Red, white and black combo of SCR colours but those are also my colours and I established the SCR colours... :roll:

We also have to make acceptances for his entourage, chiefly the guy who provides him with an endless supply of plastic white gloves... :roll: He must only be feed yellow M&M's every 17mins... :roll:

Tart!!!

In any case, all comers are welcome to take part in this race of the Tart vs young upstart!

While I'm at it I want a piece of Bassjunkie, Biondino, ITB, Sewinman, Lost_in_Thought and you old timer. I haven't forgot what you put me through during our ride back from the Mopeth. I want a rematch.

Oh and I'll be scalping Corriander as well for correcting my bad English.

:twisted:

(This does not include the Marlborough Loop I will be riding a solid 12mph no more no less... maybe 13mph).

No Linsen, it is ME who will beat DDD in a race. Aided by my Napoleon Dynamite like "skills"

Napoleon Dynamite: "You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills."

My technique is impetuous, my cadence impregnable and I’m just ferocious.

My speed is discombobualtingly devasting, I can feel the asphalt rip apart under my force. It’s ludicrous this mortal even attempt to enter my realm!

Don't forgot this man rides along growling.......

Well son, that's a long ol' list.

And you gotta a lotta years ahead o' yer.

What yer've gotta figga out tho', is whether you got enough years to get through that list o'yers ... :twisted:

BTW, I'm sure Jonginge, cjcp and Clever Pun are feeling left out. don't fergit Attica, neither.

Greg T, not so much. :twisted:

Feltup

Hmmm perhaps I can take the no.12 position behind Greg T (possibly a dangerous place to be) draft the old boy up to 10 or 11 mph and then let loose with a full on 13.5mph sprint to destroy you all! :twisted:

Completely different muscles I want to work on. Our race will involve a short straight drag using the fast twich muscles I have in abundance. The Marlborough loop will be using the slow twicth muscles I haven't developed in years.

Sure, I could beat you on Sunday in a blitz of power, speed, passion and aggression but what would be the point if I use most of energy and unable to get up the 17%er or (worst case) can't finish the course.

Lesson:

Power without control is virtually useless and therefore of no consequence. (Linsen told me so, I call her Sensei)

Bassjunkieuk

:-) First on the list, does that mean I have the biggest target on my back :-D

As for this talk of a steady 12mph on the ML.........



MTFU



My 8 year old daughter could scalp you at that speed! For the love of god road bikes aren't meant to be ridden at anything less then 20mph, you might as well go and get a stupid downhill rig if your going to ride at such a glacial speed ;-)

Feltup

Oh drat, I was counting on 13mph being your top speed but now I realise I might have to go faster than my 13.5mph!

OK can I go on the list at number 13 then behind Bassjunkieuk's 8 yr old daughter?

You're right I'm sure Jonginge, cjcp, Attica, Littagator (aka slender lengs) and Clever Pun would want a piece of this.

But I can't help noticing you ignored my challenge to you. I mean chapeau, you skillfully answered my question without answering it.

But the actual question remains. Greg66, rematch!? :twisted:

DonDaddyD

@Bass,

12mph is a respectably speed. OK just for you I'll ride at 15 maybe 17mph. No more no less.

Well, obviously, I'll have to check with my docs and physios, make sure I'm up to it and so on.

But subject to that,

Yeah.

Bring it on. Bring on everything you got.

Just remember to sign yer will before yer leave home :twisted:

And yer've gotta promise not t'cry when yer lose :twisted: :twisted:

I'll get my people to call your people...

All mouth, no lycra eh?

I'm going to goad you into a race on Sunday...

*pokes DDD in the ribs

MTFU!

Without knowing anything about the route, I know *exactly* where the goading will take place.

Clever Pun

What's all this? I see my name mentioned a few times.. is there going to be a massive sprint off at the weekend?

Sunday? I'm free on sunday

Are you now Mr. Humphries.

Read back a bit. You may have to wait in line for your turn.

I want a management overview, I read back a little but couldn't see anything of note

Feltup

DDD watch out for the goading from no.12, 8 year old girls can be mean.

top tip if they do goad you into a sprint this weekend:-

1) carry some drawing pins and drop them in front of your wheel when the sprint starts, you couldn't possible compete with a puncture.

2) MTFU!

Clever Pun

the sprint better be of a reasonable distance.... otherwise it's mtb's at the ready

Bassjunkieuk

CP - All this racing is going on down in Marlborough.......if they do chose to race I'm certainly game :-)

DonDaddyD

Clever Pun, we're all heading to do the Marlborough loop led by ITB. PM him for the details. Would be good if you came (I could check out your Condor - though I'm leaning towards a Argon 18 Krypton with 105 or Ultegra).

@Greg66, are you sure you're still limber enough to race. I'd hate to see you end up like Ali... one bike ride too many... I don't want to be that guy that does that to you...

@Jash, I won't race you, what I'm gonna do is stick behind you and study your technique so yeah! Spin away!

Clever Pun

it'd be nice to see how I fair again the heavy and big hitters of the forum...

Wow, that's in the @rse end of nowhere.. hmmm

Feltup

@ DDD Putting the joshing aside, I am impressed with your will to race these young guns and Greg. Perhaps you will be like Ali in the rumble in the jungle where you just absorb the hits and then at the end you look them square in the eyes and say "is that all you've got?"

I think you'll find me and DDD are the youngest on that list!

Truth is and I mean this in all honesty and have said this previously. I'll spin until I start bleeding from my ears but I don't expect to beat Jash. I don't think I'll beat anyone, if I make it around the Marlborough Loop I'll be surprised.

I'll simply benefit from just watching and taking part and adding the experience to my skills..

Feltup

I have to say I would love to be able to come along with you folks for the same reason. You can always learn from people who are better than yourself. I can get around 80 miles of hills but can I climb? is my pedalling smooth? am I fuelling myself often enough/ too often? So many things to learn and only two months to the Fred Whitton to learn them in :?

I reckon you will all have a great time.

Greg66 - sorry couldn't resist!

Clever Pun - train to Hungerford and cycle from there. Take some cotton wool for the nose bleed as you leave Londinium and hit the fresh air
