    Sorry, that was a reference to Sungod going to Sigma Sport which is over my way. I don't think you'd be allowed in there. Even though I got my Kinesis frame from them I was often given the distinct impression they disapproved of anything mucky.

    At least some shops have got standards.
    It might be fun to rock up in my mucky 'Robocop' DH gear and watch them turn their noses up.

    they won't bat an eyelid, you'll simply blend in with the communters
    You reckon?

    yep, some people really get decked out to commute, you'd need to add a few cameras to match them

    Do it.

    Ride up at full pelt, do a big broadie skid outside their door, throw bike on floor and walk in like a boss.

    Then ask them if they have any bikes in pink.

    No one is faster than Zwifters except cat 3 racing Zwifters and even then no one is faster than cat 3 racing Zwifters than cat 3 racing Zwifters on second hand bikes and even then it's cat 3 racing Zwifters on second hand bikes who ride with their club that are the fastest ever. Biggly fastest ever.

    They are the fastest ever.

    I don't like 3rd November. My dad died 2 years ago today.

    Today we had a walk through Regents Park en route to a dinner bought for us at Shaka Zulu in Camden Lock. Beautiful afternoon, autumnal colours shining. Then get a phone call that my Canadian brother in law has died.

    Bit of a downer that.
