Time to think of your fellow cyclists !

Do I see an Eddy Merckx with suspension forks?

I reckon you do.

Yes he did use d/t shifters for longer than most . Saw him out on a training ride one day , mid morning on a wet cold January day around 50 miles from home . Do you think he had mudguards on ? Did he hell . Funny enough , where this shot was taken . L'Enfer Du Nord

Oooh! New jacket, show us.

I do believe there were some at the Cotswold ride with no muddy guards. Not only did they spray their own arses, they left brown stains on the cafe seats.

Of course I didn't want to soil my new shiny, multi million pound :roll: Rapha outfit and fitted some on my pushbike beforehand. No wet pants, no brown stain.

is yatesy still on down tube levers, even though the others have STIs?

Back on topic, if you don't have a full length flap at the back, you get some right stick riding with our club. How it should be really.

Our club has no rules on this but I wish it did ...

Why would anyone ride in a group with no guards; just shows no care for others ... if you are tough and don't want to use guards; ride alone as I would also assume you don't want to take cover on a wheel ...

Anyone who's properly tough and wants to ride all winter with no guards ought to be racing CX in any case, not pottering about on the tarmac.
