so you don't really have any excuse for getting lost. Supposedly.
On a related note, I've been playing with Nokia Sports Tracker on my new phone, very similar to the one on the iPhone. http://sportstracker.nokia.comHere's the ride Big Phil and I did tonighthttp://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=1450114

My body is fucked up enough without letting me loose on a downhill bike. A bit of XC and beng a roadie is enough for me. I'm way too stupid to be allowed a downhill bike! I sooo relate- the same reasoning lead me to never, never get a motorbike.I'd be dead, you would all be desolate, I couldn't inflict that on you.

Alex is building an R3 up in my size though....
We partook of Alex's wares recently actually, bought her indoors a Cannondale Carbon Synapse from him. Very nice it is too, but a bit small for me. She seems to like it though.
Is it the Turquoise/White colour?

Alex is simply building up an R3 frame that happens to be in my size (as I'm the same size as him). He's not building it up for me specifically (although I suspect that the thought might have crossed his mind).

Judging by the accuracy of Fatdoc's diagnosis of my smashed hand, he'd probably tell everyone that you were having a little nap...
those tyres will be white for at east 20 seconds.
The super fit rarely have the disposible cash to buy an amazing bike, whereas there are plenty of tubby exec's out there who have the cash to own expensive bikes, but can't ride them like they are supposed to be riden. Oh, the bittersweet irony

Oh, the bittersweet irony Was chatting to Alex about this a while back and he just shrugged. I guess tubby money is good money at the end of the day, much like the below average & average climbers who make up a significant portion of the gate at the works. I'm always worried where to lean my bike when I go into the shop, the only place I can find that's cheap enough is the little stand of goodies in front of the till!
