    Don't worry, as long as they've left the rest in he should still be able to cope with more than soup. :D

    I personally didn't realise that wisdom teeth had such an effect on sprinting ability, but thinking about it now mine were removed a few years ago and I'm sh1t at sprinting too :roll:

    steven gerard use dto have groin problems which hindered his performance and it was traced to problems with his teeth - mind you i suppose that could be read as he was always mouthing bollocks, hehe
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Didn't realise he was gay... :)

    No wonder he's so popular with his team-mates!

    He's popular with his team mates because they know that if he's with them when they go out on the rob and they get caught, he just has to make up any old bullshit story and the scouse jury will find them not guilty.

    Allegedly I understand that allegedly Steven Gerrard allegedly also has an alleged porblem with allegedly keeping Little Stevie zipped up around alleged barley legal age girls, allegedly resulting in one alleged pregnancy were the girl was allegedly paid off by LFC allegedly not to go to the alleged opress with the alleged story and other alleged cases where he has allegedly paid up personally, including some alleged shenanigans with, allegedly, his cousin's best mate. Allegedly.

    Allegedly.

    But it could all be heresay and rumour. Allegedly.

    Ah yeah. Not super super flat is it round there - round the 'ford places.

    I tended to head north of Cambridge towards all the 'hams.

    Cottenham, Willingham, Haddenham etc.

    Yep head out towards kimbolton, barham, buckworth you can find a few hills. All that area starts getting more rolling countryside.

    That's why Freddy Mercury left his alone - he was worried that improving his looks would change his voice.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Nope, got something called mapmyride but it's pretty rubbish, it can drain battery in less than 3 hrs. Also loses signal a lot so given up on it.

    The villages north of Bedford and over to Kimbolton are my favourite rides at the moment.

    Only been over in that direction a few times, up to Great Staughton -> which is my new favourite ride

    Going from Great Barford to Great Staughton is a really good stretch of road! Then back up Tempsford Hill on the way home for a small dose of 10%

    You should try Strava though, doesn't wipe my phone's battery at all. Its also good for finding new hills.

    I like the 660, nice road and quiet. Normally pick it up near Ravensden up to Kimbolton then back to St Neots.

    Do you mean the hill at Everton? I'm a mess at the end of that! Go that way when I cycle to work in Biggleswade to avoid the A1. Fun going down though!! :D

    Haven't done the 660 yet, i used the minor road parallel running up through colmworth.

    but i almost died last time i did Everton hill because i was trying to nail it on strava -> the segment starts at the railway crossing and ends up in the village... was already in trouble at the bottom. The Van following me up did help though!


    to move slightly back on topic... i was worse than Cav in San Remo after the everton hill segement :wink:

    He passed me whilst descending Snakes Pass into Hope and said hi so I hopped on the back of his support moped for a few miles until he turned off towards buxton. Exchanged a few words at some lights but he was "in a mood so dont really feel like chatting sorry" haha!

    Amazing afternoon :)

    Cavendouche: What a tool.

    Must have been an amazing afternoon: follow a scooter then get dissed by a fat bloke at some traffic lights. Brilliant fun. Remind me to put that in my "must do before I die" list.

    Hold on - isn't Buxton near Alsager?
