I'd Barnsley, Watford, west ham and Charlton in an accumulator yesterday. £5 got me £109
Also done a 6 match goal rush with 5 games up and Chelsea Liverpool still to play

fair play. hope you got another nice lift. sunderland v fulham let me down for a nice goal rush bet.

To be honest, I just do a £2 goal rush so probably get about 40 or so back. Have never won a goal rush and don't know what odds were. But I'll not complain.
They say good luck comes in threes so fingers crossed for club lotto tonight. £1600 will go a long way at this time of year.

Mines a bottle harp Flan   or 6

Got £59 for the £2 goal rush. Put a fiver of winnings on a treble. Spurs -1, man city -1 and inter tomorrow night. See how it goes.

It's as well I don't wind up people on here as you do milltown with you outing me there!
But ta anyway

Unfortunately I have to work today so can't make it to the game. Never used a radio in my life to listen to the games. Where's best for me to listen to the match? Internet, iPhone, does sky have the station it's being broadcast on?
Thanks for your help.

What sorta speeds would some of u club racers do? On flat, hills, averages, top speeds etc..? Be interested to know

The bigger the group the higher the overall speed. If you're out training by yourself then you'd average about 17MPH or more.  Average in a pack would be above 20. On descents you can get up over 30 quite easily and kick the ass off 40, climbing can slow you down to about 10 depending on the hill.  In a sprint on a flat road you should be able to get up to 30 depending on wind speed and direction, but you won't be able to hold it for very long on your own.  A small group can cruise at a steady 27 if everyone rotates and takes their turn at the front.

How much training would it take to get up to that sort of speed? I've been doing a bit of cycling for the past month a few times a week when I can and coming from zero fitness, I've only been able to average about 12 mph. That's coming from zero experience on a bike and cycling on my own. The speeds you are talking about seem a bit out of my reach.

So I'm doing a cycle to Dublin on 16th of September with the club. What sort of slow release energy foods should I be taking on board while doing the longer runs? And which type of drinks?

Wouldn't certain relatives of mine be able to have a look for you before putting it into a garage?

I'm 28, 6ft2, 15st 6, have a recently acquired belly and am not fit in the slightest. I cycle 3 miles to work although don't want to go flat out so as not to be sweating too much when I get to work even though I shower anyway.
Cycle to Dublin is 110 miles. Have been on a few cycles on the Lagan towpath about 12 miles or so.

Just wanting some info as I've never cycled before. Got myself a specialized sirrus comp hybrid bike through the cycle to work scheme and love it. Got it for doing a fund raising cycle to Dublin in September. Only thing is that i don't have any idea of what speed to expect to to aim towards.
I have a wireless computer that tells me my average speed is roughly 11mph when commuting to work which is rather hilly. I feel like I'm really struggling sometimes. What would be a realistic target speed for me to reach inside 8 weeks speed wise?

Anyone else secretly hoping for Michelson to fade away and let Darren win it easy? I've got this feeling that if it comes to last few holes and it's still close then Darren will lose his nerve. Hope he proves me wrong though.

I actually ended up going to mcconveys and putting an order in for the following:
http://www.mcconveycycles.com/store/product/12528/specialized-sirrus-elite-hybrid-bike-2011-small/
Seems much more like a racer apart from the handles so think it'll handle the roads better. Not that size though. He matched me up with an xl frame as he said my upper body is quite long and I was hanging over handle bars too much to be comfortable.

Well, I'm roughly 6ft 2 so might just do me. If it wasn't for the fund raising cycle I'm doing, I probably wouldn't dream of buying one but it's something that I think I could enjoy and get into. I live quite close to the towpath so was thinking a hybrid might be handier for that.

Can anyone who knows stuff tell me what they think about this bike...

It's got pretty good reviews and I think I'd get good use out of it.
