    But presumably you have different licence numbers. Your mystery alter ego didn't even race in Roundwood (I know this because you were the only Orwell given a pass to ride that day). The race was organised by your own club, FFS!

    Do the results just get phoned in, with no licence numbers given?

    BTW, I wish the other you had raced in your stead. He mightn't have left me looking like a startled rabbit at the last corner!

    I had such a lovely spin this afternoon. Then coming through Fairview in the bus lane, a bus driver beeps at me and points to the cycle lane. He stops ahead, so I pull in for a chat. I try to tell him of the dangers of dog walkers and pedestrians stepping in front of me, his response is simply, "there's a cycle lane, I'm just sayin'". I ask him how I'm suppose to turn right up ahead, he tells me to get off my bike at the lights, I ask if he ever pushes his bus? Again, "I'm just sayin'".

    I should've pointed out that I didn't impede his progress, given that he overtook me easily and I was heading off his route about 500m down the road.

    *sigh* But he was a decent enough type. I just needed to get that out of the system. Come on Leinster!

    Sound! So there's Slaney CC as well as Sorrento CC. Was getting confused with SCCs. :)

    Can't see another I was looking for though - blue with rows of spots on the back. Anyone know it?

    Managed to top-up my Paralympic Track Cycling tickets this morning - now have 3 sessions booked over the first couple of days, so should hopefully be seeing our own "Paralympic Cyclist" in action

    Extremely off-topic. Our hive swarmed this morning. Luckily enough I was at home to deal with it and to try and save some bees but my God they literally turned the air black with their sheer numbers, they were incredibly noisy too. I just wish I had taken some photos of them. Very surreal experience.

    I remember many years ago hearing my 8 year-old kids call me from the back garden. "Dad, come and look!". I looked out the window to see my three kids standing under a black cloud of bees buzzing just overhead! "Come on inside guys, we'll see them much better from upstairs!"... :eek:

    While it does seem counterintuitive they are actually surprisingly docile when swarming as they generally gorge on honey before leaving the hive. That said I wouldn't fancy standing around a swarm without protective gear.

    well they are actually for our trip to france, currently i have fulcrum 7s for winter bike, rock solid but heavier side of things 1850g the set, then on my carbon bike im currently on carbon rims, their great on good roads and when im not on something steep but they flex bit,

    http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/WPSHRS80CA/shimano_rs80_c24_carbon_wheelset_%28pair%29

    looking at these, lighter not sure how the carbon, alu mix would go in terms of the heat.

    these dont look bad, now iv done more searching:

    I am hoping to hit 1250gr with around 350euro cost.

    Kinlin Xr200
    Bikehubstore super light hubs
    Cx ray bladed spokes

    But that won't work well for heavy riders, if you are under 80kgs you should be fine. I hope to have a ride report by mid next week, I am expecting the last stuff to arrive tomorrow.
