oh, I like the previous post bit:

8. Don’t look at the stop watch until you feel at least 30 minutes has passed
9. If you made it to 40 mins – well done! Hang in there. If your lucky the resolve this requires won’t make you too nauseous


more like:

9 If you made it to 20 mins – well done! Hang in there. If your lucky the resolve this requires won’t make you too nauseous

as a fundamental law of phyiscs states that:

time on a turbo goes slower than you feel it is and the harder you go the slower time passes.

A little know fact for a Friday afternoon: Albert Einstein was a keen cyclist and formulated his Special Theory of Relativity during a particularly arduous turbo session.

Toks I was out in the lanes of Kent on Wednesday and bumped into 3 black guys who had ridden out from Crystal Palace, they said they knew someone from Addiscombe I asked who they said [size=150]"Cox"[/size] I later realised it must have been you :D

Cool, I'm guessing they were the guys who do the Sunday ride from Crystal Palace. I used to do it quite regularly a couple of years back but eventually as you know mate you get fit enough and realise that you can get better training riding by yourself for 2-3 hours rather than 4-5 hours with a bunch of friendly strangers. "Cox" is a good one, haven't heard that before. :shock: I was sat at a Special Educational needs Tribunal last Friday and one of the Panel Judges refer to me as Tags Adenza which I thought sounded kinda cool. :D
