^^ur correspondent, suffering off the back

yes i am wearing aviators

nice!

on reflection, that's a bit of a jan ullrich 'chewing a wasp' face

that, and my lack of acceleration in the hills, are my key similarities to the jan

i did badly but had a classic time, obv. friend of a friend used a self-made bamboo bike!

was in B grade; i stayed and watched A grade go round after us. amazing scenes at that mudpit, with massive crowd and some bro palying bloooooodclaat jungle techno on this crazy solar powered sound system rigged into a cargo bike.

excellent!

if u had no waterbottle/cage u would be way faster, but a heavier rig is great for training i hear

lolll

i reckon i will nix them for next time, it did kinda get in the way w/ shouldering

ROUND THREE

field of 60 riders in B-grade were already jostling for places at the start line, so i played it safe and started at the back (also: i hadn't done any practice laps beforehand due to ridic long line at rego desk). this meant that i was: a) positioned behind guy in lolzy outfit of g-string and ladies' stockings; b) had to wait for everyone in front to funnel into the gross mudpit that took up most of the first straight and the left-hand 'sweeper'. once outside the velodrome area i shed mud and started picking off the stragglers. end of lap 1, feeling good! continued apace, but during lap 3 i went BOOM and it basically turned into a grovel-fest. haaaaaard work. still quite pleased that i've not been last in any race, but will prob take more serious approach to training next year by actually doing some.

that's... bizarre on a few counts. like, a really small barrier. then a right side dismount-- ur doing it wrong. then woooooooooooow!

my coworkers and i now have a new "JOOOEEEEEEYYYYYY!" catchphrase.

what is girl seeing that leads her to say "joey is ok," cause he looks very not ok.

well that was quick

i basically can't get enough of this, i've watched 20 times and it's still hilar

apparently he's ok, just a back spasm. i mean, i should know, i took the photos

^^ alt angle w/ slo-mo

gbx where is the shirt available from??

It looks like Joey had about as "good" a fall as could be expected. What a Joey, though.

haitch, i don't know! just c&p'd from another bikey board

Joey is OK!!!

in 2011 racing cross dressed as evel knievel doesn't seem remotely cool to me.

so apparently SHHHHH sram is releasing road shifter/brake levers that are hydraulic disc compatible

that is dope imo

without a transfer box at the headset? sweet

transfer....box?

that will be awesome. the clunky boxes are pretty atrocious.

still don't know what u r on about

one current solution to using hydraulics w/ road levers is to run standard shift cable to a transfer box which contains a converter and fluid reservoir

Have been reading "Slaying the Badger" and it mentions that Bernard Hinault's coach at La Vie Claire told him to go an learn right side dismounts for CX as a winter training exercise. He then used both side dismounts through the rest of his cross career.
