Hello fellow Northerners. I'm not liking this disabling of TriTalk, it's making a large gap in my working day. Anyway, if any of you are on board the temporary TriTalk then say hi & confirm your attendance for the Fri eve bash!!!  |

I'm still coming - had a bit of a low grade stress today with TT being down. I haven't been able to get at that PM you sent! Could you re-send it? Ta!

Hi Brownyboi, Not sure where the pm bit is??? Is there one??? If you click on someone's username then you'll see the 'send a personal message' option.  |

Hi Helen, Not sure on actual names that were put forward but remember I asked you to book for two extras, its looking like it wont happen now which is a shame ,as you will agree when i tell you later who they were ! I was also kinda hoping JC would be able to join us but he was having trouble sorting things and it looks unlikely now,unless he says otherwise today sometime ! See you at yours about 7:30pm. |

Wiganer had last minute work commitments & he said he was really gutted. A meeting that he had been trying to arrange for ages was sorted for today & tomorrow... sod's law!!
There are two people who weren't on our original list who are coming now which is great (Sam & Captain Nugget's wife Sarah). Hopefully JC will make it too???
See ya all tonight.

Hi Craig, great to meet you, it was a great night, I'll sort the pix out later.
Riding in the next hour or two I hope... those smelly boys are still fast asleep!!! I have a feeling they'll be awake soon though ;D
Hope you got to work on time.
I'm so not used to late nights, I feel like I've got a hang over this morning & I didn't touch a drop!! Nice long ride will sort that out I feel.
Catch up with you soon we hope.

HelenT: I can now see why you were a bit upset at your official race photo from The Vitruvian. Steph said "Ooo, she's pretty" a minute ago (you want to watch out for her)

Post by helent on Dec 3, 2006 20:08:38 GMT
Oh that pic at the Vitruvian could haunt me for the rest of my days... Bella Emburg eat your heart out!!!
Not quite sure how I can avoid looking like a 16stone man while I race??? Maybe that's a whole new thread!!!
Thank Steph for the compliment though.
Hope you all had a great eve. ;D

Thank Steph for the compliment though. I don't think that was so much a compliment to you as a thinly veiled threat to me. Women, eh? |

Hang on a minute, if he's 70% shouldn't he be lingering over Toms picture?

Ha those last posts made me giggle. On a more serious note though... how DO I prevent myself looking like a 16stone man while I race??? Do I need to bribe all of the Sports photographers & get them to put vaseline on their lenses??? I grew my hair on purpose so that I wouldn't look boyish!! However dragging my ass out of a lake, up & down a few hills on a bike & then round in a few circles on the road hasn't done much for me regardless of the length of my sodding hair!!!  |

Looking at your photos from the Xmas do, I can't imagine how you could end up looking like a man at all?!
I can offer no advice for race photographs, I'm afraid, I always look dreadful.

If I'd had a copy I would have posted it for you to see and you could have had a laugh or hired me out as a man in drag. I'm not sure how I managed it, I even wore water proof mascara ;D |

how DO I prevent myself looking like a 16stone man while I race??? Can't offer any directly useful advice but I've learnt through much experience that I need to keep my mouth open during cyclo cross races when there's a camera within range. If I keep it closed (attempting my "nonchalent" look  ) I invariably look like I'm either passing or generating a bad smell. |

and its a gorgeous morning too !
