Cross season 2017/18 chat

Burls? Nice :)

It's a great frame and fork!

It is. Would be great for a newcomer, but is good enough that you'd not need to upgrade if the bug bites.

I've literally forgotten everything about cross tekkers.

Not that I had any.

@andyp What time does the summer cross race kick off? 7.15?

Yes. Seniors first, then Vets then women.

Thanks

Ok, signed up for Frylands misery. Hopefully quite dry up there now though.

Only one way to find out!

I went out on the CX bike for the first time in 3-4 months a few days ago, couldn't believe how boggy it was. Normally in July it's all dust.

Must sort that ride out :0)

^ look at the all pics after on social media....

Frylands is miserable. It's a proper "fuck me, why am I doing this". But only when you have one gear and a pair of fucked brakes.

I tried to mow the grass at the allotment on Monday, was surprised how damp it was. Rain today and tomorrow might mean it's a bit sticky.

fingers crossed the trees are sucking it all up

If it's damp, transpiration and therefore uptake by trees will be low.

But they must be gasping for water after all those weeks of dry. Please trees, drink!

Pesky weather forecast, varying hugely at the mo.

I know. I need to paint the shed and both fences.

Sam's bike wash. Open from 930 pm tonight

Plans went to shit. Currently in pub with very rich gay man getting frisky!! #lyfrocks

They could organise a cross race in your garden and you'd come up with a reason for missing it...

I managed to miss a training session because: bed time.

blah blah blah :p

I managed to miss this morning's catch up because: teething

Poor Nora.

@andyp did you have the London X League schedule?

It's a sticky on the London X League Facebook page.
