Maybe Metro can get them onto Mr T as well?  When is he coming back?

HJ,

You confuse defamation with advice son. After The Ferret has become involved, most people walk away smarter and those who don't shouldn't breed. Via the application of my many teaching methods, there are many smarter bike riders getting around. Some of these people have had to hear and read things they did not like. But, heed the advice, and the world could be your oyster. Shalom

Your teaching friend who does not defame

Spin your wheel really quickly then shove your genitalia into your bladed spokes. Do not breed.


You have to admit, the man stays on message.

Ferret,

You did teach me about riding in the gutter at the front if no one wants to lead. Thankyou.

DW,

Sorry son, but I did not provide this advice to anyone.........I thought everyone just knew this one. Although, I have seen some people continue to slow down, thinking this will coerce the next rider to roll through, but it never happens. Slam 'em in the gutter and go harder. Shalom

Your friend

Ferret,

No - come and watch a C grade race and you will see very few of them know.  The people who head up the gutter in a cross-wind are all former A or B graders.  I had one C grader make a slightly caustic comment to me after Friday night racing for heading up the gutter and making it hard for him - I did not respond as I thought that was the point.

Well, no merger so far....

Metro

Good to hear your race tactic brain is still going well, because the form part of your brain has been in denial for a while now.

keep it rubber side down

Didn't appreciate it for the extra effort it caused but still recognised it as the right thing to do.

Did appreciate that it wasn't fast.

If you'd been even further left it would have been harder still (mini/skinny echelon was still possible).

Yours in looking for the easiest race possible...

It was as fast as I could manage!  I did leave room for a small echelon to form, but none did.

I think you mis-interpret the discussion, we only shared thoughts about the condition of the course at the end of the main straight. I was happy to be towed through the rubble than be on the front into wind and rubble! Why would you race if you didn't want a hard ride??

I think you have been dreaming Key. I never saw you take the front until your sprint up the wrong side of the white line!

Key,

They are on  to you.  You will be watched now.
You just need to make a few token efforts at the front in the first lap or 2 then hide up the back for a bit and then go near the front at the business end.
It is a race. You don't get points/money for being at the front during the race. That's a triathlete's job.
Are you going in the Loop the Lake again?
Yours in C grade
DW.

Slow motion stuff that!

Be assured, I got to the lee of the rider in front of me.  Again, thanks.

Actually he did a couple of times, but never looked like much of an effort.  Still, he was there at times.

It appears that "C" is the new "A" , maybe the ferret could stop training for a while re-grade himself and see where the real conflict begins, and something goes wrong it is guaranteed to happen much more slowly. ???
