hello forum people

I have just registered, couldn't find anywhere for newbies to introduce themselves, so this seemed a likely place. I am a member of a cycling club, I am also one of three riders in team "Team4Luke" to raise awareness for cardiac risk in the young, with a charity ride in the Lakes and some other events this year, £10,000 was raised.
My racing background is TT since 1994 but have now called it a day a year or so ago and like nothing better than a ride to the nearest cappachino and cake, still keep fit with a little training with the gang or on my own.
I'm on a couple of car forums too, another hobby of mine.
I hope to contribute on here and help where I can with answers.
Let's hope I have posted in the right area otherwise I'm sure it will get moved :roll:

T4L - Welcome along fella... watch out for the quicksand of asking "serious" questions on here... and btw nothing is quite what it seems.
As a gift to us all and so we can get to know you a bit better I feel you should present us with a nice picture of your choosing in your next post!
I'd also be interested to know which car forums you frequent. Because I do as well!

You mention that you like cake (which should go without saying really) but you neglected to say what your favourite cake is or where you stand on the Eccles cake debate.
never twigged that
I'm sure Luke will be have a giggle at that from above

am a Ford fan through and through, I'm on fordfiestast.co.uk and fiestastoc.com
1) 58mph down Fleet Moss quite a few years ago, however since then I have unfortunately seen what can happen on more than one occasion, including a death and this year a member of my club in front of me suffering wheel wobble at I'm guessing over 40mph in front of me and coming down, to see someone not moving and all you can do is call for an ambulance is most unpleasant, we are so vulnerable with no protection, please be careful when descending and keep your speed down, I tend to descend now at a speed that I think would "survive" should something happen (30mph max for me)
Only advice I can give is pay attention to cross winds before letting loose, something we don't consider and usually just bomb down.
2) 29mph ave in a 10TT
Eccles Cake is a no no
Almond Slice is the aim, if not anything with sponge, a filling and icing or chocolate on top
Oh and welcome.
here we go....
