Bannatyne is a c0ck

[Mich the Tester]

You missed out rain, snow, dog turd, rapists, hoodies and wild animals

Bloody hell, you must live in the rough end of town. Here at Chateau Tester we have none of those problems. Well, rain and snow, but other than that no problems.

In the p!ss!ng rain? You having a laugh?
Seriously though, I think there's something to be said for training outside. Worked for Stallone in Rocky 4.

Erm Cheshire Cat? You're supposed to be a Northerner. Stop acting like a southern woofter.

Was looking for a lunchtime training regime over winter.

Looks like I'll be digging out the fixed and going all 'manly norferner' then. Quick wipe down with a damp sponge and I'm done.

I'm rather partial to that 105 groupset, especially the bottom bracket. Sealed from the elements. So do as your handle and not worry about the weather.

Although, I might suggest you'll regret a fixie for a quickie.

Yes, Mrs Tester always looks forward to that after my training sessions.

Well no since I live in rural Northumberland , but I imagine those unfortunate enough to live in an urban setting have to fight of rapists and hoodies every time they set foot outside. And every step is beset by turd

Fixed is nothing new to me Mr. threaded, indeed it is the perfect lunchtime blast; an outdoor spinning class if you will.

In fact I'm glad you talked me out of the gym as the new client co. is set among some excellent lanes for such a pursuit. I could even cycle in when it gets lighter as it is only 20 or so miles away.

Some chummies over here in Denmark have the following modus operandi: steal car, use car to knock lone cyclist off bike, rob cyclist, dump car, rinse, repeat.

The plod were stuck picking up the pieces one morning as one gang did at least 5 of them before being caught in the act.

I've had my near miss with one gang already this year, and discouraged another when I saw a fellow cyclist being paced at a distance, so caught up and paired up, chummies were off then to find an alternate victim.

Can someone translate? Threaded's been in the 23rd century again

Local woodlands offer excellent training facilities like hills, trees and logs, combined with the added benefit of fresh air, all absolutely free.

Get out of the gym and train outdoors.

You have n't lived until you have spent all day climbing some bl**dy mountain in the lake district, chucking it down with rain for most of the day, blisters and cuts from slipping over because you used nike trainers and not hill climbing boots.

But the view from the top makes it all worthwhile.
