... and for this reason I won’t be crossing tomorrow ... but I will be suffering the roadies and pretending I’m interested in them at coffee.

I'll be a Roadie too. Rolf, you're on your own...

If it makes you feel better, I ordered some new slicks today and expect to swap 'em over the next fortnight. That and some sharp new kit (no more incognito costumery!) should make turning the page a little easier. It was
weird riding through UVic greenspace in full-on daylight this morning...
Eight months cross, four months road sounds just about right!

Not so fast, Juan Speed! Lordy knows when my slicks will arrive (having ordered them from shady online sources), so there are still a few weeks of the season left for me.
I’m also away until next week. But rumour has it Johnny Tyre’s gone tubeless and is keen to experience new, unsheathed sensations. As some say: if you post it, they will come.
Here’s a handy link to the Cross sub-forum where you can make your intentions clear.

Rolf,
Juan, Alan, and others,
My crossbike is currently in sick bay. I might be up for cross on Sunday and will post or respond
here. It might be fun to stalk the roadies via trails and then meet up with them at Fantastico's, their usual coffee spot on Harbour Road. It might also be fun to ride road with the roadies trying to make it to the end of the Interurban sprint without vomiting in one's mouth. Too many fine choices.

Why is it when John and Rolf have their homoerotic banter about riding, I can't but think this is what they do in private..?

Please, Alan, don't be so quick to judge, because,
p.s. I think we should shut this down. From my window I can see Martin scurrying across the campus towards my office ...
