Its slammed, I'm already at the forward limit for the saddle. Longer stem will be bought, I knew I needed that.

What about silly socks for my shoes? Shaving the legs?

Everybody should drive classic cars, would make me more money. We had an Accord estate, but the early 2 door one. 1989 I think. We had the injected one, got over 130 out of it at one point. Great car. Had a Passat estate, pile of poo. A4 estate, even worse.
Better than muffins at mine is the pub down the road.0 -
i'll come down, use the S3 and stop 100 yards before the end and chuck it in a hedge.

Amusing bracket evening for a novice 45 year okd tt'er. Mrs H3 will hate the leg shaving, but will have to put up with it. But a skin suit and silly socks will be just the ticket. I'll keep you updated with "training" and how the event goes. It'll be a laugh. If I can get close to 40 kph on a course with 2 long draggy rises and 5 roundabouts, one of which is a full 180⁰ turn, and no drag from passing cars, I'll be delighted.0

sweet. remember its all about enjoying yourself and having a laugh.
oh - and beating clubbies don't forget to beat clubbies.

Watch out for n00bs if there's stuff like that, the guy in front of me this evening nearly got run over *twice* turning right on the roundabouts because he didn't look before swerving into the overtaking lane as there were cars passing him.

Although it sounds like a nasal affliction.
You don't need to shave - it won't make you any quicker, it's just for hygiene. :roll:
shavings faster my man.
