See you at 6am at the start of the stick 1st roundabout this Friday. I have also signed up for the Dubai 92 (stupid, crazy fool).
I shall likely already be halfway to coffee by then, dropping friends off at the airport at 5.15 on Friday then heading straight to the stick.Say Hi as you come past (you will, I'm slooooow) I'll be the fool on a red mountain bike wearing a globaleye racing top looking half dead!

did DA this evening. thanks to kieran i have a much improved riding position and comfier saddle. clip less feels much quicker but fk me, quadriceps!
was good to be on the circuit at such an easy pace. would recommend it for the track day crowd even if you just walk around once.
Please tell me you laos look at trying your racing lines around the course on the bike?was good to be on the circuit at such an easy pace. would recommend it for the track day crowd even if you just walk around once.
Peddle like fook into and through turn 16 and the same at turn 1 - great fun

What sort of pace will be at? We're also setting from the bottom at 6. The guy I ride with on a Friday is probably at 25kmh I am closer to 30. So if an easy pace and you fancy a lazy spin up the stick we could tag along
Well you're both much quicker than me... I don't have a computer on the bike but given it's 17km up there and it takes me about an hour, I assume I'm running at 17 km/hSay Hi when you breeze on by lol
sorry to hear that Jason, hope you are back on the bike soon. Went down to Hatta this morning for a ride - great route, although had my first proper 'off' in 2 years. Landed hard on my hip - no damage to the bike though! As an aside, has anyone else been to Hatta recently? the route down to the pools is now tarmac - used to be a good track to drive through.
I managed to avoid all of the groups, set off at about 6.20 just behind the last of the Spinneys riders, overtook a dozen or so of them on the way up the stick and (having stopped for coffee and a chat at the top) got blown into the weeds by 3 pelotons of rather serious looking cyclists on my way back down the stick a while later.
