Oh too right! It’s such a siiiiigh! We had 100mph gusts over here over xmas and the very mention of staying indoors rather than going out seems to invoke this “RULE 5 RULE 5 RULE 5” havoc from folks that wouldn’t know the dangers of a gust of wind in icy weather if it smacked them in the behind!

Screw the rules!

Elder son now has a race bike
Elder son now has a race bike and will be competing with me and younger son next season. Still need to change the pedals as the stock ones are a bit crappy and he may need a new chainring as I think the gear ratio is a bit high at 44:16.

Got some great merino wool socks, yes very meagre by some standards but my feet will appreciate them on my way to work each day so thanks my better half.

Damn right.

Whilst generally a good laugh, the velominati rules contain a few elitist and exclusive sections that are verging on insult to the vast majority of cyclists if taken literally.

Too many however have adopted certain rules as gospel and end up acting like twats around those they deem to not conform with their take on reality. Many of these fucktards probably had Rapha pyjamas on their Christmas list.

Rule #16 = Bollox…. No different to wearing a Ferrari-Champions league-Olympics top. The most important thing is your daughter put thought into it so you should absolutely wear it. My wife bought me the Giro leaders jersey for me when she was in the Paul Smith shop in 2012. She knows nothing about rule # Bollox, I wear it because she bought it for me :X

Wear the top with a fathers pride

Have to say that it’s remarkably effective but I probably wouldn’t recommend it.

Dont know whether its the norovirus or something similar but i’ve been the same. Unable to get on my bike since before Christmas :&

Yes, it’s been nearly a week since and I’m still not hungry. Still, makes the new year diet easier.

As compensation the birthday fairy said she’d bring some wintery clobber from the sales to replace my tatty old tights and over shoes

Your daughter must have sacrificed a week’s indulgence (booze, clothes, hairdo, whatever) so you could have that jersey so you’d better enjoy it!

Anyway, those rules are for fools.

Ouch. I can vouch for campylobacter as being similarly effective – 10 lbs in 10 hours (though not this week, thankfully).

I got less stuff than I was expecting, but very happy with The Secret Race, The “Rules” book (yes, I know it’s tongue in cheek) and Domestique.

New aero helmet for the TT’s, Cavs new book & a shedload of vouchers for my LBS, with which I’ll be buying a saddle for the TT bike.

Extra Xmas bonus was meeting Cav yesterday, as he was back for a race which we all did here (IoM). Winning. 😀
