does the leisure centre we are parking in have showers?
Wonder if they will let me in after so I can avoid driving home with a trail of flies after me.0 -
Yes. But they won't let you use them.0

Why - most sports centres allow "spectators", or I could pay for a swim (or gym?).
If it is a council one it should be more responsive to asking, than a private gym.
Worth a go? Worth calling them and asking nicely. I have a long ish drive home...
Guess it will be open when we have made it back?0 -

Bring a packet of baby wipes and a good air freshner to hang from the rear view mirror on the drive home.
Plus it'll be too cold to sweat. 8)0 -
I could bring the dog.
He would clean me.0 -

How many times have you been told it's OK to stop, get OFF the bike to take a wee during a ride.

Hi
I am doing the Coast to Coast or better known as the C2C IN April this year 2010. I am using my road bike Dawes 500. Would this bike be suitable to cope with some of the terrain. Any info would be great IE tyres,bike,or wheels.0 -

Looks like I may not be coming - 4 free corporate ( £250 each type value) tickets for Everton v The mighty Hull.
1pm - 4 course meal, free bar etc. Main sponsor type...
Wife wants to go with my sister, can't win now. Looks like I am letting you all down. I did mention to Nap it was going to be a busy weekend for me as I may be getting these, BUT I thought it was 3pm Saturday...
... not 4pm Sunday.0 -

If you have a spare ticket I'll come too. 0 -
4 tickets, me and the wife, my sister, and her mate.
Sorry.
gutted about the ride, but my wife has decided! I have just washed all my kit, too. When she found out they had got us the box ones (£248) over the stand ones (£150) as a treat, it was over as a contest. We have to be there at 1pm for champagne reception!
Did a similar thing at another ground, and you get the works. If it helps, I was about to say no until the Mrs got the phone. I have a Hull season ticket on the front row, so I'm not that star struck anymore.
I'm still bothered, as I had really geared up for this.
Have fun!0 -
shame, its not like it Liverpool

Went there for the LFC v Hull game this season. Watched Torres and co stick 6 past us. Liam Cooper had his debut at CB that game... 19yrs old.My brother taught him up until recently!
My wife has just booked a 2 week holiday over the Hull v LFC game (last match of the season).
Goodison is ok, as long as you don't mind looking through stand posts... which obscure half the pitch view.
Dippy.0 -
Those games feel a long time ago!0
-
So hang on...
You've whinged at others for not being able to go through things like child care and now you're not coming due to some shite sport?!?0 -
YES
and my god I am ashamed....
Call my wife, she will explain for me!0 -
I'd understand if it was a good team. But Hull? Seriously?
Turn in your Man Card now.0 -
This is seriously poor...0
-
joking apart, I am really bothered.
I was massively looking forward to this as my first real ride (done 2 over 50, but flat and nothing special).
I'm also having to drive from Nottm to near Coventry for a 3 day course late Sunday night when I finally get home Sunday. I was just negotiating with the wife to come up to Mac with me and occupy herself until we were done, so we could drive straight there for the 4pm k/o - until she looked up from the phone, said "shut up", and then explained it was a 1pm start for us due to the food etc!!!
It all comes at once!
I'm off to hang my head in shame. I wanted to meet you all, and will be at the next one...
I'll shut up now.0 -
you'll need someone to shout at when the going gets tough.0
-
Right. Well I'm not going now then, I'd rather spend time with my kids. If we're talking priorities!!0

Watching Everton Hammer Hull is not "some shite sport"
Erm....
