I wanted to jam my pump in his front wheel, but I was sure that a 2.5" CO2 cartridge probably wouldn't cut the mustard.
Oh well, you probably didn't notice the british racing green Jag that went past at warp speed then.
One good thing about this forum - now we know when not to take our bikes down to Peats Ridge Rd.
In fact, I would feel seriously uncomfortable trying to ride along there with a race in progress.
Oh yes, as little as 2-3 weeks off the bike can set you back significantly in terms of fitness. It gets worse as you get older - not that I'm suggesting you are old or anything.
