Well I can't just let Barry and Lisa do all the cyclo-cross riding for the club (hint Marty McA, Davy C, Ronnie...). I went and got one myself. Happy Christmas to me ;D Now to get ready for the last two races of the season. Gonna be fun...  |

There's plenty of fun to be shared around.
What did you get?
Marty McA had a go, but spent more time in hedges.
Davy talked a lot about having a go, but I think he is building up to next season?
I thought Ronnie had completely retired from CX but could he be tempted back??

A Giant. Two wheels, with gears. Lots of mud clearance. Reasonable comfortable to carry on the shoulder. Other than that I've little additional knowledge. It's all new to me. My game plan: Stick it on the turbo, do some sessions on it, change the tyre and show up to the Dungannon race. Don't pre-ride the course (as usual) and then see how I get on when the whistle blows. Scream in a high pitched voice and curse every bump and sharp turn. |

Sounds a very professional way to go.
Giant TCX I assume (unless you recently got on the rabobank team). Great bikes!

This is quite a disturbing thread Martin! I think we have lost you to the other side. Good luck!
I did not realise you took your dismal performance at Larne so badly.
Ho! Ho! Ho!

I am worried he will like the new cycling position.
As an expert in all things off road Barry, will Martin be allowed his baggy shorts,knee pads and elbow pads at the x race.
I was going to the nationals to see Aitken against Seymour but there may be other spectacles.

Ohmygoodness. No baggies allowed in CX. Road gear or skin suits only. No exceptions!!
