Whenever I've ridden, Mr Alex has lapped my numerous times. That's much much more cruel... ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11409#post-129233 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 23:03:11 +0000 steveo 129233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To provide balance I'll stick some race face ones up once I'm finished processing them. I'm in the firmly rather you than me category. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11409#post-129232 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:54:03 +0000 Smudge 129232@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Slightly cruel posting these pics chaps ;-) though most of us enjoy a spot of schadenfreude..<br /> I take my hat off to ARobComp for having the courage and enthusiasm required to get out there and compete.<br /> Chapeau! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11409#post-129230 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:33:20 +0000 Uberuce 129230@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd just like to point out I can do all those tricks except afford a Specialized Tricross. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11409#post-129229 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:28:31 +0000 steveo 129229@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49248828@N06/10390219506/"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3792/10390219506_d1feb096ce_z.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49248828@N06/10390219506/">CXFalkirk1</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/49248828@N06/">steveo_mcg</a>, on Flickr</p> <p>To be fair he was far from the only one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11409#post-129227 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:02:00 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 129227@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Steveo and I went to Callendar today, seems they have a different gravitational pull over there - certainly ARobComp seemed to spend as much time rolling in the mud as riding atop it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389160344/"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3777/10389160344_cdf7a782e0.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389160344/">CXOpen_8</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389147225/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7345/10389147225_caa584abf3.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389147225/">CXOpen_9</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389210973/"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5518/10389210973_1f7e32e7c7.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10389210973/">CXOpen_22</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr</p> <p>Saved it with this show of strength though....</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10388918243/"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3808/10388918243_c753037a06.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/10388918243/">CXOpen_55</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr </p>
