    I think after taking his KOM he should be buying you your coffee.

    ... but that's like stealing candy from a kid ...

    I do think you should be a little more considerate there Rob. You don't know how he might react - could end up closing his account

    Wow Rob - just checked it out - your top speed on that segment was 25.6km/h and your average 27.5km/h

    I'd look out for the guy in 3rd place - he's only 1 minute 15s behind you

    Stealing is quite right. I shall be out to liberate it from the forces of oppression shortly.

    Must try harder Rob! - Not much satisfaction taking a KOM when there is only three on the leader board (even if it was from Lusk Doyle). And the chap in third place must have been walking.

    I think that I set that one going backwards.

    That's a bit unfair - it's the first trophy won by anyone while at VCB - an occasion to relish for the club

    Jesus with that network of little segments on residential areas in their patch, I would have expected better! Must take a detour the next time I'm passing and bag me a few KOM's.

    (I'll avoid sporting the Boards.ie and McNSCC kit to avoid detection! :D)

    It would want to have been in a golden chalice to come close to comparing with the joy and rareness of taking a KOM from me.

    Go to his house for a coffee, after stealing the KOMs and then go out and take some more. I'll be doing that in the summer.

    Heard you were actually getting some semtex from some of your "friends up north" with a view to ensuring no bikes get up that 5 metre climb....

    You know that there is another one around the back there? You need to shave 22 seconds off your current best to get it!
