Ludlow Cyling Club Members Profiles!March 2009 Profile is Fiona Miles Fiona Miles Best TT Course? Only go to our own
February 2009 Member Profile is James Griffiths Second Claim Member – Long legs and boyish good looks! I haven't ridden that dream road bike yet, so my favourite bike is my trusty Cannondale F2000sl mountain bike. It's 12 years old now are probably the lightest and best aluminium mtb frame that has been made. I have treated it to new XTR kit, Rock Shox Sid World Cup Carbon front shocks and some Bontrager ceramic rim wheels that include Chris King Classic hubs. It is one very light bike!!! Best TT Course? I am quite fond of the clubs Craven Arms Scenic. It keeps you interested! Who'd you like to see in a skin suit (sex symbol)? I'd happily do a 2up with Angelina Jolie if she rocked up in a skin suit!!! Yummy! Pie or pasty? Pasties all the way, no pie cases to dispose of. Training tip? Good winter base miles at your own pace, don't get sucked into turning these rides into races. Do your family disown you when you get into your lycra? They do give me some strange looks. Favourite event? Up to now the Duo Normand stands out as a great test and a great social affair. Cycling hero? Lance Armstrong, just getting over the cancer is impressive. Tubs or Clinchers ? Definately clinchers, my well know experience with tubs has scarred me for life! What are you aiming for cycling wise for next year? This is a pic from the tour a few years ago when they did the Alpe d'Huez climb as a time trial. January 2009 Member Profile is Neal Deller Neal Deller – Holder of the Wooden Spoon & The top prize – the wooden spoon again! The Photo is from Lake Constance June (2008) riding a German Panzer.
December 2008 Profile Is Charlie Chubb Charlie Chubb – Club Hill Climb and Two-Up TT Champion Favourite Bike? 1985 Haro Freestyler in Lime Green! Smokin'! (Pic attached) Best TT Course? Hill Climb of course. Who'd you like to see in a skin suit (sex symbol)? Not sure if he's a sex symbol, but I always like to see Ian in his skinsuit. It means that I've caught him for at least a minute! Roast potatoes or mash? Gotta be roasties after a cold Sunday morning ride. Training tip? Ride more than you eat! Do your family or fiancée disown you when you get into your lycra? No, but they do when I get out of it... sweaty! Favourite event? Last year it was the Forest of Dean Sportif. Just felt good on the day. Autumn & Spring Epics are always favourites as well. Cycling hero? Bob Haro (1980's Bmx legend!) Kylie or Danni? Tricky question? Kylie. Hopefully she still has links to Neighbours! TV Gold
November 2008 Profile Is Peter Ding
Favourite Bike? My argon summer road bike - first 'decent' bike that I had. Carbon monocoque, and when I first rode it I suddenly had an new pair of legs. Best TT Course? The Ludlow 25 - It seems to suite my style, not too hilly, and always something to concentrate on. I can't seem to keep my speed up on long flat courses. Who'd you like to see in a skin suit (sex symbol)? Most sex symbols I would rather see not in a skin suit! Strawberries or raspberries? Strawberries - can't eat enough of them when they are in season. Training tip? Keep things long and steady in the winter, and pick up the high end training in early spring to avoid burn out. The season is long enough as it is. Do your family disown you when you get into your lycra? My family disown me altogether when it comes to cycling. Favourite event? I have enjoyed the autumn epic each year it has been run - except this year when I missed it due to training for the track championships. Almost enjoyed my second ever 100 TT this year. The Duo Normand is hard to beat, especially the social aspect, but probably the best event for enjoyment, success and novelty was the LVRC Track Championships. Cycling hero? I suppose Lance Armstrong is hard to beat - successful, dedicated and focused, all on top of having an amazing physiology. Kylie or Danni? Tricky question? I don't think either of them are very good cyclists.
