New Forest Sportive - October 5th/6th

[Bopomofo]

It begins again...

Oh great.

"Two events wishing to use public space on same day causes one to have to cancel shocker!"

- The event which has been in the calendar longest gets preference, complain losers -

Even the URL is contentious "Cycle_event_in_new_row_over_wildlife".

Surely "horse_bothering_event_in_row_over_danger_to_cyclists" would be more appropriate?

Take lots of spare tubes and a broom to afix in front of bike like snowplough.

I thought we'd covered this before: a lead-out train for Tritans, boosting him up to 50kph, then one each side grabs an arm and we fire him, madison style, straight at any NIMBYs. It'll be like skittles. Or when the Pride of Bilbao ran over that fishing boat.

[Tritans]

Probably best not to mention Bilbao or anything else Spanish related. The locals still haven't forgiven them for kidnapping all their Donkeys several centuries ago.

Kqwerty, stay near me at all times. "Polish, Spanish.... all the bloody same aren't they"

What kills me most about this story is that Daily Echo has a CHIEF New Forest reporter. Suggests there's more of them! Blimey, how many journos do you need to cover the hectic life of a herd of ponies in a national park!?

[Tritans]

Car parking might be a bit muddy - I'm hoping you all forget your brain cells when it comes to driving on mud and do what all self-respecting Audi/BMW/Mercedes/VW/Jaguar drivers do in these situations...1st gear, foot flat to the floor and wonder why you're not going anywhere

No route changes (unless there is severe flooding), make sure you've got the various routes uploaded onto your Garminges as there is a possibility the locals will be interfering with signage. Will someone remember to prime Tritans with as much fighting water as you can?

Surley such vehicles have button for those circumstances ?

Just afixing the sidewinders to the Battlebike as we speak.

Not that I wouldn't be delighted to see my old chum ris... but there's no way I'm going out to play with a bunch of Ironman refugees who are all just off the back of a monumental racing season. I will probably die... then I'll have to haunt Kwerty.

It's alright you should be safe. I have my instructions...

Type: Bike 
Description: Stay in the heart rate 2-4 zones on hills. No anaerobic. Sit on Ade's back wheel all the time. Hold back some on climbs. Then jump the others for the sprint to the village sign/summit.

What it actually means.

[Tritans]

If that's the case you certainly wont be going anaerobic.

[Bopomofo]

If that's the case you certainly wont be going anaerobic.

Yes, he will. If he's hanging off your sweaty backside he'll be holding his breath.

Please remember to abuse the lanky streak of piss when you drive into the car park as I'm in charge of it. Cluster ahoy

And in other news, putting the course out today and we had signs stolen within 10 minutes of them going up. Little do they know that we have our Lycra clad weapon of ass destruction down from the Royal County

[Tritans]

Can you reserve a vip spot then. It appears I don't have a button.
