Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: how long have you got?

.....yep that'll do it...I literally couldn't ride around the block if I hadn't eaten. Even when the 'coaching nazi' has me doing a 2hour session before work, I still get up an hour before starting to eat & *****.....can't ride before my morning constitutional!

cheers,

Hitchy

Don't get me started. I don't go ANYWHERE, let alone a bike ride, until I've had at least two dumps, that's why I have 3 cups of coffee for breakfast.

Want more detail? Number of plops? Reading material?

this guy with his "steel types" question:https://www.cyclingforums.com/t179755.html

Poor guy, I couldn't come up with anything good, then, as usual, the big bully "Boudreaux" picks on the poor bugger.

He wanted to know, apart from weight, what's the difference between good old hi-tensile steel and the new, lighter steels. All I could come up with was some general crap about ride quality.

I saw Phil Anderson about 3 years ago down at St Kilda Pier, and, being a "biker", I couldn't believe he wasn't being harrassed by millions of people. So, I thought "fuk it, I'll say 'g'day' without sounding like an idiot". But (you can imagine the rest), I was like: "wow, your Phil Anderson (now you know)...man..wow...how's it goin'?"

Naturally, he had this look like he was thinking: "oh no, another fat d1ckhead on an old Paconi".

He couldn't get away from me quick enough

The Boudreaux thread:
https://www.cyclingforums.com/t97322.html

Hitchy's opener:

LOL....don't scare him/her/it off though...its the highlight of my day seeing who Bourdreaux has rubbished....the master of the one liner, the consumate 'put down' performer. I'm convinced people post things just to see if they can get a 'Hoey'......keep up the good work Boudreaux!......I might start the Boudreaux fan club.....any takers?.....anyone?......anyone?........
cheers,

Hitchy

Actually Phil & stuey are 2 of the nicest guys you could possibly meet.....Our club president is a mate of Phil's...as a result i've met him a few times, (& now get sponsored by his company..... yipee!). I was abit like you, didn't know what to say the first time I met him (& stuey)...but very easy going guys. I've got a 6 foot poster autographed poster of Phil on the back of the 'bikeroom' door (actually the study, but with 3 bikes in there.......).

Phil = top bloke.

Well....now if we're bragging....I'll have to mention my signed Lance poster of him winning the Worlds in Norway in 1993. I also bought a few of those sign-on sheets from the JCTDU.

I found that KFC works better if you eat it while cycyling. I often popped through drive-in's on my summer training runs - even did two boomboxes on one gruelling 50km run. The only issue is getting the fat off your hands before heading off, and getting the aroma off my breath before the wife catches me. I am in big favour of having KFC sponsoring big rides with buckets of drumsticks at every station, as they are a **** to have in your rear pockets.

....hmmmm I'll see your 'lance'...& raise you a 'van der haar'.......I've got Paul van der haars autograph on a hat that says 'Vanders 200 club', sold to commemorate his 200th game. When i asked him to autograph it he laughed & said, "you blokes have got too much money buying this *****"....hah...what would he know...now, it's worth....well...about....well.....nothing....but that's not the point...what were we talking about?
