278 for me, surprised it is so low.

283 for me, I've just pipped Pantani on the line!

Oh dear god, I never knew you could do that.

I'm really sorry, I'll try and reign it in a bit.
But it does keep me off the streets.

Go on then. How many?

Oh, and it does a pretty poor job of keeping you off the streets, postie.

Opps, 601...make that 602 now

lots

I think I need a cycling related job, as I clearly have nothing else going on.


On that note, (and to keep my posts down I'll combine) that does remind me of a decision I'm ruing.

I'd not long been a postie, and life was sweet, when a West Sussex County Council job came up.
Running the Cycling Proficiency programme, going round all the schools testing the kids.

As said life was good at the time, so I didn't rock the boat. But I now am beginning to really regret not having a go, my CV would have held up, and for reasons I have never understood, I interview well.

Oh well, such is life.


Added edit
I feel a little better now 1066, but only a little!

We have a winner!

 

[Stat Brother]

We have a winner!

Oh no we don't :hangsheadinshame:

 

[1066familyman]

Oh no we don't :hangsheadinshame:

Now if only you could have taken such a huge margin of victory in any one of the numerous fantasy races you wouldn't feel half as bad

There is a company over here that restores bikes, sells some and gives some away to under privileged children. I'm very tempted to offer them my services, once I've got the commute running well.

'Yeah I can fix that'

(surreptitiously reaches for smart phone )

Sounds great definitely go for it.

Doing something bikie has been on my mind for a little while.
But sadly regretting what I didn't do, is more my style than proactively doing something.

 

[Sussax]

Oh no we don't :hangsheadinshame:

Reckon it's 972

 

[Stat Brother]

Won't edit what I want to say, I'll leave it.

Intriguing.

Gone on, unless of course it breaks the geeks omerta.

 

[Sussax]

It think it's because I mentioned like 15 people:
Basically (it's very sad i know) those of us that have "admitted" to how many posts we have is around 1700.
SB has at least 750 and we havn't mentioned zleas, Bold seagulls and TB, to name but a few,
So out with your sins...

Some of these are quite funny.

And an interesting little snippet from Vaughters about cleaning up cycling and a couple of other bits.

Vaughters speaks from the hip on Bruyneel, Leipheimer, Tygart and CCN

 

[Woodchip]

Well I thought it was interesting anyway

Strange. Attempting to reply to this thread seems to want to fail

How many posts have you made in this thread? I'm upto 465 (inc this one)

If you hover over the red envelope icon it will say how many posts you have in this thread.

What red envelope icon? Where is it?

 

[Sussax]

What red envelope icon? Where is it?

The red message icon on the left where it says Cycling Geeks, from the Big board.
