I used to play football, rugby, field hockey for local teams and clubs. Haven’t done that for many year and can’t do any of that anymore.

I still throw some arrows in my bedroom at a dart board and have been known to waste a good walk round a course by whacking a ball, but not in a while. Still managed to keep my handicap are 7 at the start of this year. But I think dreams of getting under 5 again will have to fade.

It would be something worth
It would be something worth watching as a display race somewhere. But unless British cycling and Sky got together to sort it out. I can’t ever see it happening

They don’t work like they
They don’t work like they should. Its just a little coding error 😉

So for the Velo rules, it opens like this

http://www.the-rawlinson-bracket.co.uk/www.velominati.com

Where it should be this

http://www.velominati.com

They are opening as if they are pages on the site and not external likes….Simple fix if needed, give me a shout

There is no comparing the
There is no comparing the pair, both different riders, even on the track, totally different.

But an all out sprint, without a stage race involved, Hoy would wipe the floor.

I would sort out links for
I would sort out links for this, but there are only two live stages.

Not worth paying for at all.

Because you have a forerunner
Because you have a forerunner watch. You should get Garmin’s Fit app, if it will work on your phone. Iphone and Android I think.

That will give you maps and all should pair with your watch to give you all the info at your fingertips.

Incase people miss it on
Incase people miss it on twitter.

I am up for doing the shorter 45km one, if anyone in the area would be riding it or the longer one and willing to put me up for the night/share a hotel room?

It could be Trifosa’s first sportive, if recumbents are ok with British Cycling’s rules 😕 😕

I’m glad you are going to
I’m glad you are going to stay around Tim, I used to come on the forum a long time before I started posting and getting involved.

I started out just playing the game and enjoying it. I entered a schwag (giveaway) on here and won a book about cycling, started reading it and getting more involved in posting on the forum, been here just under two years.

Come on here most days and see if I can help others out in their help posts, reply to a news story or blog here and there. Look at the new reviews.

Sometimes tweet the guys who post the news a link here and there to possible stories they might follow up on. Just get involved where I can to help be part of what makes the site great.

I hope you join up and have a try of the fantasy game, its what gets more users involved on the forums than anything else. 😉

Simplest form is to plot out
Simplest form is to plot out a ride on google maps or similar, I believe there is one called Map My Ride?

You can either print it or write down the turns and stick them inside one of those A4 polypocket things and strap it to somewhere on your bike?

Do you have a smart phone? There are a few biking app’s where you could map out your route, then just put it into your phone as a GPX or other file format, then it will act as a sat nav for your bike, while recording speed and distance….etc.

Hope that helps, others will come along with more idea’s I’m sure :B

Exactly, I can remember a few
Exactly, I can remember a few times where i’ve thought about stopping posting or had a dispute with someone, but everyone has differences of opinion now and then.

It shouldn’t stop anyone from posting or being part of the community, as I said, its like a big family here, brothers and sisters argue now and again, Tony, Dave and the other parents see us right in the end 😉

[Gkam84]

Don’t need to stop posting
Don’t need to stop posting Tim, hang around, its a nice community here, this may not have been the best of introductions to the forum.

You have raised some valid points, which I hope I have answered.

Did you play the fantasy game at all last season? Check it out if thats something you might enjoy?

I don’t hold grudges nor should anyone for this thread. 😉

This is the one I liked. I can’t find its price, only on “replica” sites

As Cain’s mum has said above
As Cain’s mum has said above and to me in private aswell.

Keep the camera, It was offered to me after I tweeted asking if anyone had one and what they thought of it, not asking for one. Just for an honest review. I was then kindly offered one that someone had in their cupboard after they bought a Go Pro.

It was offered to me on the understanding I would be using it to make future videos about me and my trike, to keep others informed.

I will go further into Cain’s situation when myself and others are ready to do so, but getting him a bike suited to his needs will be the outlet for anything thats been donated to the auction and the left over from my appeal.

So by starting the ball rolling helping me, others will also be helping him, I then hope to keep that ball rolling, where myself and Cain’s mother can find another child who may need help and then any left over money would continue to help others.

Have been looking into setting up a charity just for this, but it seems alot easier to keep it personal and fund raising, rather than a charity situation.

As I said, more details will come.

Just to point out, that is
Just to point out, that is NOT the watch my dad bought me, it was a cheapy £30 watch.

I just say the Zenith in a mag sometime and it caught my eye and stuck in my mind. I didn’t even know it was worth that…..HOW MUCH indeed, you could get a house for that.

I like watches and their
I like watches and their designs, but I don’t even wear one anymore.

The problem I have, all the ones I like have large dials, like that one in the picture, but I have skinny wrists, so they never fit and overhang my wrists.

My dad bought me one to wear to his wedding 10 years ago, I love it, but with the, a couple of the parts in the clasp are not holding together properly. So I chose not to wear it anymore as I may lose it.

If we go into fancy watches. There was one, I think it was called Zenith tourbillon, then something about a black tie? I can’t remember, but its really nice, although I only like silver, for some reason, any jewellery I’ve had ever have been silver in colour, I don’t like gold. White gold maybe 👿
