A TT bike on a winter training run? Is that why there are so many crashes on the Parrot Runs? Hardly a week goes by without some incident or other resulting in a "heavy" fall. |
I said he has a Pinarello, not he rides it on the club run!
When your club runs are so popular (usually 30+ riders on Saturdays including half of Ashfield RC), there is bound to be the odd incident.
The Doris incident was caused by a horse rearing up as the group passed by. |

Certainly the quotes I heard suggested they were quite a force on the day
'...and my amazing lead out from 1/2 lap out - even putting someone on the grass who tried to come up our inside!'
and
'After a good day working with the FS Maestro boys Cheltenham and County ...... finishing up there in the bunch sprint ..... and Stuart (FS Maestro) getting 8ish!?? It was a good days work! Although disappointing not to see any other Cheltenham 'hardcore' racers there!' |

What rubbish!
Neil Walker and Jon Hunt regularly get into the top 10 in open TT's. Neil is a 2nd cat Roadman, how did he achieve that without riding any open events?
And when Sherwood beat Ashfield in the Leics RC 4-up, did Animal ride it on his own?
We had 17 riders in the Lighthouse and can regularly put out two teams in local time trials. |
We only rode the Leicestershire 4-up as a 3-up too.   I got in the top 10 in ALL of my open events since joining Sherwood CC (except National 10 but I don't like talking about that day  )
I would also like to point out that Sherwood CC has regular MTB rides and is a Go-Ride registered club that is putting back into the local community

I know Nigel rides the road - as he did in the Criggy RR the other year and I saw him in the John Parkinson too - be good to see a whole team tho - but of course ALL riders will be made welcome by Team Bradgate when we put on a show in May

I only ride effin' road races to shut you lot up! What's so great about being an evil-roadie-wheelsucker? I don't like road races, I like time trials of all kinds.

I stopped riding them because none of these roadies could stay upright.  Loads of 'em were hitting the deck each week and nearly took me out a few times so I thought 'sod this', I'll do some proper racing!
