MacRetro chat and rides thread

BTW how long is it before we can sart winding perry up? :twisted: :lol:
 
The Macretro massive are magnanimous in victory, we don't do big talk, just walk the walk :wink: .

Mind you, he seems to have abandoned this thread of late, back with his cohorts in the mild-land thread I suspect.
 
yeah yeah you wernt that far ahead of me considering i walked most of the course

now i know what this racing lark is all about ill put in a better effort next time . might go for a gear lower than 36/16 too

i knew you scots wouldnt do too bad , what with all that landscape your hoarding up there . around here a kerb is considered a drop off :lol:

shame we didnt do so well against that stw lot :( ive already started to spec a much older much lighter bike for next year and i think there are some local races soon i might have a go at . be nice to have a retrobike win next year

wales is about 4 hours away from here so itl be considerably further for you lot . i wonder if the midlands could gather a group and blag a van . maybe it would be worthwhile for you to do the same if you wanted to defend your title next year :P
 
Wales is a wee bit further and it is hard considering the riding we have here, but I did really enjoy the weekend and if we get enough of us together could be a goer.... think we might need some gauntlets cast oor way again. :lol:
 
this is going to be a long 12 months :lol:

im quite scared of what the welsh would come up with to top the dalby course . i should use my blue dmr what with its cheater forks and just go with a range of chainrings for that but it would be nice to be really quick on something old

its great fun . a race but not really a race . more a race against mates within a race . you could go quick if you wanted but you didnt have to

would recommend it to anyone , there were all types out there . of course the race faces were in attendance making riding a bike look very painful to not go very fast to the large old guys

anyone else see the bird on the pink diamond back ? she was riding up the mountain bit just slightly faster than i walked so i spent a lot of time looking at her arse :lol: i seemed to beat her in the end , mustave stopped as i dont remember passing her
 
perry, hate to tell you this mate but I stopped for 15 min after the first lap to eat cake and chat to the crowd, then had a very nice beer on the second lap and it still seemed like an age before you raced to the line :roll: , mind you, think how much better you would have been if you had an alloy bike :twisted:

It was great to meet you and the rest of the lads and I'm sure I could finess a pass for next year but might consider the train as that is a feckin long way.

sounds like a nice way to keep you going up a hill :wink:
 
Yeah we need more pictures!

BTW that was a great picture of your rolling down the hill Perry, I bailed on that one but just looked like a gaylord, you looked like you were in a scene from the dukes of hazard 8) 8)
 
i stopped for an hour to chat to those 2 ladies :P :lol: and i dont remember you being awake at 2am smoking cigars :lol:

she would ride slowly , pull ahead , stop to rest then when i would catch up start riding again :lol:

shame the winner of oldest bike wasnt even a member :(
 
well i had to stop to do a bit of break dancing :lol:

i think that was as i was rolling back to my feet . ive seen pics of guys going down that a bit tentatively . if i wasnt so knackered id have spotted that really easy line on the side . i did hammer down it the 2nd time though to make up for it
