Benefits of track cycling
« on: September 27, 2010, 05:13:29 pm »
On only my 2nd training session I have reaped rewards that I hope will stay with me for a long time.
On my way home last Friday night I was driving down Glebe Rd to turn left past Maurice Mathe Cycles and was confronted by a bevy of 8 or so young ladies flashing at the passing traffic.
Hard work pays off.

Maurice is a long term trackie, and clearly the chicks dig Maurice.  All that pales, however, once second wheel turns up in his skin suit... ;)

Metro

I'm not a 110kg so can wear a skinsuite. Look forward to using it on Friday night world champ's.

2nd Wheel - I think Curly was making a heart felt plea, not referencing the Rules.  Friends do not let friends wear skin suits.

Boys,

Curly is still saying the first thing that comes into his head, irrespective of accuracy. Shame on you son. You could have mislead someone. However, I understand, in a perverse way, your sense of brotherhood to other riders. Who wants to see Metro or Commuter in a skin suit? The Ferret...... yes. These guys, definitely not. Shalom

Your friend in accuracy
