Hi Guys

I have spoken to a couple of you and as the Scott 24 says it will be open today i want to know who is likley to be riding in the team . We lost Kiwigirl ( thanks Pikey ha ha ) And our fearless leader in Delicous ( of to whistler) and i believe Anke is a definate Maybe as is Dave S . I am in as is Evan so who else is in for a fun filled team of six or four ? Mixed is good and over 40 is good also
So let me know ?

Oh yeah Peter , Can we borrow the team name if it gets up and running ?

Yes of course you can use the name.
As for potential team mates, ask that Chris S bloke from Reading. He's a bit odd but otherwise okay. Don't let him fill in any forms, he'll spell everything wrong!

interesting that you are saying Pikey poached Tracy and yet YOU want to poach Chris S from us.. execpt, we tried to get him on our team at the Mont for the Scott (nothing like pre-planning teams) and he was unavailable due to going overseas... however, should you get him.. well done, he is a legend - even if he can't spell properly Smiling

Bikeboy's picture

You have caught me out ....you may now call me a hypocrite and as Pikey said " i will still have a beer with you " and yes he is a legend . if you havnt noticed , i dont give a rats .... about spelling either

How did i get here ?

Sorry Bikeboy / Ev et al., as foreshdowed at the rain-fest at Ourimbah the other week - I have gone from 'maybe' to 'no' Sad. Looks like the Fling is my only 'race' this year... if they ever get their entry system sorted out.
I'd still like to consider myself an honourary team member if there is such a thing.

Good luck and one day I'll manage a ride with you guys...
Dave

I can only do it if it doesn't interfere with my triathlon races. I have set myself some goals for this year and, as I still have to work full time and make some money to buy sporting bling, I might have to put mountain biking on the backburner for the next few months until Christmas Sad

15% of transfer fee and 5% of performance bonus is the going rate, but negotiable.

Assistance will be required with transfer forms, as I can't spell. So I've been told!

More the merrier... that way we can keep to the name sake Eye-wink

Chris S's picture

I've sort of said yes to Team El Rancho Relaxo... as I'm presuming Lozza's going to be back!

If not, let me know and we can have an auction.Smiling

dangersean's picture

Chris I clearly remember you telling blondie and myself you weren't in the country when asked to be part of our elite social team!!!!

We will not be drawn into a bidding war for some pommy bloke from Reading who should be well versed in the queen's english but can't spell! Eye-wink

christine's picture

with dangersean.. plus.. all 'poaching' is supposed to be done off line so the team someone is 'poached' from gets a surprise!
however, El Rancho have SCOREd as you are roid boy - do they know that?
Ooooh! and you also brings excellent chocolate snacks with you.....hmmmmm - are you sure our team is full Sean? Smiling

christine's picture

honey,, with team names like yours we will never be poaching you - thery are just crude

dangersean's picture

Don't you think that is a tad bit ironic considering our team name for the Scott is 'tickled pink bits'?

christine's picture

Sean, not mine, I am just a member and no.. I think that his names were much worse... did you REAd the names? not often I say something - anyway, since he isn't on YOUR team are you planning to poach him? then you won't be a mixed team will you... ?!!

Bikeboy's picture

But , whats in a name anyway ???

How did i get here ?

dangersean's picture

I thought loz was spending the weekend in a skirt so we are all good for the category babe...

christine's picture

well.. he does say he has a bigger rack than me... hey loz!

The Scott 24 website says entries open July 1, but no links as yet.
Am I missing something?

christine's picture

a bit like the fling hey!

Bikeboy's picture

So they tend to be a little slow , not sure when the thing will open but will post when i can get on it

How did i get here ?

delicious's picture

It's not the 1st of July in the ACT yet.

Chris S's picture

I'm sorry Christine and Sean, I can now remember you asking and me telling you I was going to be in the UK at the time of the Scott. Due to wedding expense and working commitments my trip home has been put on hold for a bit, so I'll be around for the Scott.

However, I'm so embarrassed that I have started some sort of war of words between two teams that were so close and help each other out so much at the Mont, I'm going to have to pull out and not race with either teams. I feel it's the only fair solution.

Any one want to join team Queens Englazio?Smiling

Bikeboy's picture

Soft mate Eye-wink

How did i get here ?

Chris S's picture

I'm not starting a team Queens Englazio. Before I get swamped with PM's from people wanting to defect teams.......

delicious's picture

The truth of Chris not returning to his homeland to visit his folks is simple. He blew all his wedge on a new bike.
Money well spent I say.
Really folks, what's more important? A nice shiny new Enduro or a nice cuppa with mum and dad in Blighty?
Can that wedding and you could also get an S-Works Enduro, an S-Works SaxoBank Tarmac with Di2 and a particularly lovely 2010 chromoly Langster.

christine's picture

you are the only one here speaking any sense at all!!
Chris... well, what can i say? you shall have to at least visit our camp for a bacon sandwich over the weekend... lucky relaxo hey!

Chris S's picture

Did that make sense to you! And I thought you were like me, an anti scummer!Smiling

Talk of Tarmac and Lancster's!!!!! Isn't tarmac something you drive your car on and I can only guess the illiteracy is catching, and Delicious was supposed to say “Lancaster”, the famous world war II bomber!

christine's picture

so maybe i didn't read all the bike information properly and yes i am an anti-scummer - won't see me on a road bike - no luring me over to 'the dark side' Smiling

Chris S's picture

Bikeboy, just to let you know our secret weapon has joined us Eye-wink

Bikeboy's picture

But on the down side .... i need to train my ass off
