Went out with a couple of friends from dulwich paragon, GT, Gammy leg Ken, Damian,,,, the plan was to do the short "ride of the falling leaves" backwards, which is pretty much what we done, Pilgrim's way being the highlight, Titsy hill being the low point,,,, fuck its much harder than i remembered, I had a touch of cramp on the way up, I would of stopped but i could hear GT's belly slapping against his top tube from behind,,,,,, Oh the joy it would of given him to ride past me!! Gammy leg Ken dropped us all on most of the climbs,,,, not bad for a guy who is half a leg short of a pair.

I had a puncture after only 10 mins,,, Managed to fix this no problem, I wasn't looking forward to using valve extenders on the road-side, but no major fuss to report

Stopped in a GB cycles on the way home, The 20% of everything was very tempting,,,, The 2007 specailized bikes look good, Also the new Derosa idol made the end of my wullie tingle.

Will spesh sell the roubaix/tarmac in world champs colours this year???I could be very tempted

Couple more rides planned before I go back to work.

Take care, happy riding

Ronald

BADA-BLINGGGGGGGGGGG

Its back from Scotland


Stripped and cleaned


New wheels fitted


The Isaac is a back












If you see this bike being ridden by some skinny racing whippet



Its most likely been stolen.

Pure Baltic!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Well

My planned 80-100kms turn into a leisurely 46kms, in Baltic like weather conditions,,,,, Ok thats a bit OTT but it was fucking cold up around Downe/Cudham.

i went out with Dulwich Parargon saturday ride, I'm a big fan of the DP saturday ride, Plenty of people I know go out on this ride. Its a great ride for people who have never been out with a club before, its more of a social pace than training ride, really friendly bunch, no dickwavers,,,,,, but a severe lack of Fanny " why are there so few good looking women cycling???? answers on the back of an old Christmas card please

It was good to just get out and ride again, I rode my spesh tricross, it really is a great winter bike,,,,,, 35 layers of Assos kit all most blocked the cold out.

Whilst out GT declared he also plan's to lose about 2stone/15kgs!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear if he turns up in July 15kgs lighter than me, i'm jacking it in,,,, Back to golf for Ronniethescot " at least there is the odd bit of half decent fanny on the fairways nowadays"

Happy Crimbo everybody

My new wheels are here, just in time for crimbo
I will get some pictures up over the christmas break, planning to get out on a long slow on Saturday, 80/100kms from crystal palace, I also plan to get out for a couple of hours on Christmas day (i might even try and get a couple of pictures), I will be in the land of the Gods and Greats, hopefully it will not be too windy, the wind is a massive pain in the arse up there, something that you never really think of when riding in Kent or Surrey

My phone she dead

OK so how long can a modern man last without a mobile phone?
