An English man in self imposed exile. I can often be found riding a Cervelo in the hills above Malibu. I find there are worse ways to pass the time....

@paolo oops wrong article quoted…..was supposed to be about egg timers retirement. Dunno how that happened! »
@G’rilla Thank the baby jeebus I won’t have to read any articles this year about how he’s a genuine contender at this years TDF. I guess they will just write the same articles though and replace his name with Teejay Van Garderen’s »

@mcsqueak squeekers, my c24 dura ace wheels were chirping a while back.. I was sure it was the bearings, took it to my lbs and they put a dot of tri flow on each spoke where it meets the rim. No more noise. The guy said you always have a problem at the i… »

@ChrisO I thought that their chief weapon was ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope!! Or is that just for the Vuelta ?? »

@frank Indeed. I just thought that after riding with a Keeper and seeing the principle rules on your shorts he would have had an epiphany. I am doing an organized century ride in So. Cal this coming Saturday. If I see someone in Velominati kit… »
@Joe Interesting masochistic cirlce of life you got going on there Joe! I punish myself by riding with a backpack of bricks for the crime of riding with a backpack of bricks… »
Interesting thread on Cervelo forum… Ok so it wasn’t me and it wasn’t Joe. Anyone wanna ‘fess up? Anyone? Bento box indeed…for shame! And you’d think Tyler would know better what with having rode with frank and all. »

There was a young man called snoov of the new kit he did so approve his own kit seemd so old but now he’s been told it’s retro, so now it’s all gold. ( ok I’ll stop now) »
I’d like to try some of Lim’s recipes too but I’m afraid I’d get the EPO dosage wrong or that my blood bags would go off whilst in the freezer. Just sayin’ »
@mcsqueak I’m sure you guys have checked…not trying to piss Scaler off, but when I have had consistent clicking underload I found that the lock ring on the cassette was just not quite snugged up. As you say…enuff of dat! »
@scaler911 mavics by any chance? Just curious. »
