The Dream - The Reality

This is the WILIER VELODROMO - ALU Track bike.  Every fixed boys dream. Having searched the interent and various uk stores, it appears that Wilier have no intentions of bringing this work of art into the UK market.. Madness.. 

Never mind, Shaun has now got his Dolan track beast, and I am hoping that a stealth black Wilier Pista (Cyclesurgery Limited Edition) will be winging its way to me in the next month. We'll then be set to rip the track up like boardman in his heyday!

As to the track sessions, we are now lining up for our pink slips tomorrow, no, not what you imaging, these slips are our entry into the track skills session which will then lead us onto full accreditation and Shaun's goal of showing Hoy how it 'should be done'.... Can't wait to see that during next year Revolution!

Anyway, this is my first blog post, so with luck i'll get the hang of it shortly.

He's back!!!!

It's been a while thanks to a number of things going on in  my personal life and of course the number of opportunities to ride the bike. One thing is sure though, the naked,sexy Italian lady I wrote about in one of my first blogs hasn't changed a bit. Stunning as ever and still willing to let Ade throw his leg over her whenever he wants.
Much has gone on since my last blog; Le Tour, the greatest show on earth was the cleanest in living memory with Contadour's participation turning cycling into a verbal contact sport.. Nothing is hitting people's emotions more than using Armstrong and doping in the same sentence. The sad death of Walter and the rise and rise of sky. Then of course there is the topical issue of Cavendish, surely one of the greatest UK athletes of all time and so much more to come. How he achieves it while distracted by PetaTodd I will never know.
On a personal front the rides, sportive's and all things cycling go on. I have bought a new track bike and I am loving riding the loop with the other Wirral mamils and their kids. We had the pleasure of seeing Sir Chris Hoy and other members of the UK track team in training last Friday and boy are they focused not to mention fast. More on this from Ade who will be joining me with some contributions to the site shortly,
Plenty has happened and I will be adding to the site shortly for your pleasure, remember we are still riding so if you fancy some company get in touch and enjoy the ride.
