Good luck for the big move to France. Who will get me round the Circuit of Kent sportive now?! All the best.
Brian Willis replied to James Vaus's discussion 'Tue night ChainGang.'
I'm sure you are not James, I'm certainly getting sick of the turbo trainer....
Brian Willis replied to James Vaus's discussion 'Tue night ChainGang.'
Someone's keen! :-)
Brian Willis replied to Brian Willis's discussion 'My turn to have gawn and dunnit, just signed up for the 2012 L'Etape du Tour in the Pyrenees!'
Well I will be back to visit from time to time, and certainly fancy having another go at the hill climb after a summer of climbing the mountains ;-)
Ian Soper replied to Brian Willis's discussion 'My turn to have gawn and dunnit, just signed up for the 2012 L'Etape du Tour in the Pyrenees!'
Sounds fantastic, but sorry to lose you to our local rides, but rest assured we will be coming down to stay as soon as you are set up.
Brian Willis replied to Brian Willis's discussion 'My turn to have gawn and dunnit, just signed up for the 2012 L'Etape du Tour in the Pyrenees!'
Quite a way, the Marmotte is in the Alps, we will be in the Pyrenee's, ideal for the Etape though ;-)
Chris Dines replied to Brian Willis's discussion 'My turn to have gawn and dunnit, just signed up for the 2012 L'Etape du Tour in the Pyrenees!'
wow, good luck.
How far are you from the Marmotte route?

Well it's official now, exchanged on our house on Friday, so leave for France on the 14th of February. Will keep you all posted with developments, been a pleasure riding with you all and look forward to seeing you in France once we are up and…

What? Daz, nah, that never happens ;-)
Brian Willis replied to michael farla club captain's discussion 'G1 RIDES SUNDAY 22 JANUARY'
Nice one Doug, had toyed with getting some "Exposure" lights so that I could continue riding in the evening, but decided to stick with the Turbo in the end. A "no" traffic ride sounds quite inviting after the idiots on the roads…
Brian Willis replied to michael farla club captain's discussion 'G1 RIDES SUNDAY 15 JANUARY'
Great ride in the sun. Bit nippy to start but ended up very pleasant indeed with great company. 98km @ 27.5 ave (sorry got to start thinking that way ;-)) mostly down to Bill and Simon pulling me along, a good Threshold workout!
Brian Willis replied to michael farla club captain's discussion 'G1 RIDES SUNDAY 8 JANUARY'
Here was me thinking I was just out of shape! Certainly did the trick though I wasn't cold for the entire ride....
Brian Willis commented on David Howard smith's blog post 'L,etape du tour tales.'
Sounds like living in the area is going to be a Godsend, at least if I bail I won't be too far from home. Will be sure to carry plenty of my own food methinks, keep my fingers crossed for good weather too.
Brian Willis replied to michael farla club captain's discussion 'G1 RIDES SUNDAY 8 JANUARY'
Ah, so it was your fault ;)

First time back out with g1 this year, not use to the pace! Was doing ok once things settled down, but had to turn back after 90 minutes to meet my daughter for a birthday lunch. Got in doors to find out she was unwell and had blow out - doh! Next…

Needles and Stings
I started back cycling 18 months ago after a lay off of some 30 plus years. “You have a breathing capacity of a 74 year old” the doctor said after a breathing test that came after recovering from a particularly nasty chest infection. “You could try some exercise to improve that”.…

DaveB said… - Well done on Thursday evening Brian, your six laps in the chain gang paid dividendsThanks for the good wishes and encouragement Brian, I'm hoping to get onto the turbo very shortly as the poorly leg looks like it's made of blancmange. Nice to see a good turnout at Thursday's Polhill Time Trial, about 28 riders. Fortunately the dreaded traffic lights were removed and the evening was warm with hardly any wind. Hope to see you all at our next event, If you want me to attend as timekeeper, I may need a lift to the venue. The G2 ride is to Newdigate on Sunday 1st August, Steve Riley has the route sheet, trust he does better than me on the return home !! Dave B

Thanks Dave for leading us on Sunday. shame that we had to cancel the G2 ride, but the predicted conditions were just far too dangerous to be taking out groups of riders. I have to say that I was not that disappointed that we did not…

That's a shame as we must have just missed you as five of us arrived at the Green, looked at the road again and then started to have second thoughts. I headed home to the boredom of the turbo (after mistakenly just popping back into bed…

Simon Clarke replied to Bill Fitzgerald's discussion 'G1 road ride today?'
Well done Bill. I managed a couple of hours on the mountain bike in the snowy fields. Didn't go too hard, just enjoyed the frozen trails before they all turned to mud again.
Bill Fitzgerald replied to Bill Fitzgerald's discussion 'G1 road ride today?'
The program Dancing on Ice has nothing on this road :-)
Bill Fitzgerald replied to secretsquirrell's discussion 'Cyclopark Wednesday night training????'
Just long drags I think Andy, no hill like Hogs.

Sundays Off Road ride
Four of us braved the weather to follow the thames river path. Jenny,Glyn, Steve and myself much trepidation at the start after watching Groups of tourest slipping and sliding on the black ice around the Wolfe statue in Greenwich park. We never got as far as Eirth marsh as promised, gave in to the cold and turned back at Trip Cock point and warmed up in the Cafe at the Thames Barrier. 20 miles I add a bit extra on the way home through Castle woods total 30 miles.See More
