Re: New Gloves

They look very similar to Spada Enforcers (though perhaps a bit lighter). This is a good thing. (y)

Re: What you watching?

Watched Trip to Italy with Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan last night. Both can be hard work to listen to at times though Coogan seems to have mellowed a bit in middle age. Worth it just for the scenery and the food they are eating. I so badly want to go and live there one day. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/italy/10744960/The-Trip-To-Italy-preview-Steve-Coogan-and-Rob-Brydon-eat-their-way-around-Italy.html" ...

You should be able to find one second hand pretty easily on ebay though. I'd suggest you don't use Motu l either ...

Re: 2015 Euro Track Date

I'm thinking though that if you have an Open pit lane, you can pace yourself as there is no pressure to go out to use the time allotted to you. I think that every trackday i have been on, i have felt sometimes i wished that session ...

Re: Motorway driving has got so much worse

I think I managed to ride for about 3 miles this morning in lane 1 of the M6 without having to slow down. All of the other buggers were in lanes 2 and 3. One even flashed his lights at me. He didn't change lanes though.

Re: The new improved fitness thread

Shoulders and traps for me this morning. High rep work was painful. The sort of pain you get that just won't go away, even if you leave your arms by your side and lift nothing.

Especially if you leave your arms by your side!

But it was good. Legs tomorrow though...
