The Axeman Returns and Scissor hands tris
After a years absence, the Axeman returned to the CCCP fold with a 25 miler this morning. Thats him blasting across Cannock Chase in the photo above. There were some cobwebs to blow out, but he coped with everything thrown at him. The Yellow Jerkey was the only other CCCP Tarmac Warrior on the weekend run, as Scissor Hand John was doing a debut triathlon, (which he did in a very respectable time),
and the Little Bear was on a photoshoot for "Tread n Shred" Mountain Bike meet, sacrificing his own training for the filthy lucra - click the photo below to see some of his work, good as it is, he's gonna suffer on some of the longer rides if he doesn't get the miles in!
As is Happy Boy Moorey - he's spent the day at his beloved Leicester Tigers with a couple of the most serious, and dangerous drinkers from Cannock Rugby Club, namely Mr Walker and Chink. Legends in their own lifetime for destroying drinking companions and bringing chaos to all around.
New boy Phil Dufty (Pseudonym yet to be decided) had a no show because of a rather heavy social function last night. Chesh got called into work last minute and Angus had previous commitments. We do have however prospective CCCP members in the wings - Jim the Fist has ordered his new B-Twin road bike and will be making his debut in a couple of weeks when he's back on leave. Evo The Bosh is waiting on delivery of a brand new Giant Defy and will be joining us as soon as the wrappings off it. Porter has threatened to return to the sport and Smooth Andy is getting his bike out the garage at some point. So the future of the CCCP seems healthy.
Other info includes Daniel Martin winning the Liege Bastogne Liege in some style, and the Yellow Jerkey continuing a fantastic run of betting form by giving Chris Froome the Kiss of Death by betting on him. This follows Wiggins crashing out of the Giro Trentino with a mechanical after I had a fiver on him.

Sorry I missed you today when you came to visit. I didn't hear my phone as I was probably dodging one of the lads or lasses as they flew by and I attempted to capture them on film, (well, sensor).
ReplyDeleteI've got to say, all respect to the folks on today's Run and Ride Tread and Shred Enduro. The guy with the most miles in four hours over Birches Valley clocked up an impressive 90KM!!!
If the weather improves over the next couple of days, I'll be abandoning the Canon gear in favour of Ridley with Shimano gears for some evening riding. Can't wait, I've been as jealous as hell watching other folks on bikes this weekend.
Oh, and a massive well done to Scissorhands John on his sprint triathlon debut.
ReplyDeleteWendy is also a potential CCCP participant, he was keen to give it a go on tour.
ReplyDeleteCool! Gotta say a good collection of nick names now
