Not sure how far I am up the fatty master scale.
I weigh about 95 kg's and am 193 cm's tall and am 38 years old ( in 3 hrs
time ), and am suited to point score track sprint races as I am a reasonably
fast sprinter but also have a lot of strength and quick recovery.

I do roughly 500 km's a week training including racing both days on the
weekend, last week I managed to get 620 km's in including a race over a
mountain range.

The next day after that I raced in B grade with the local veterans club and
after a series of 6 attacks ( which I jumped the gap to all of them )
Another rider and I managed to ride away from the group with about 18 km's
of the race remaining, we beat them by close to 1 km in the end.

The previous 2 times I raced with that club I have been in 3 person break
aways so I am guessing next time I show it will be A grade for me :P

Your resume' is impressive but we can't make a decision on
your application for Fattie Masterhood until you tell us your
average speed on training rides.

Is it appropriate for an aspiring fatty master to carry a stool or folding chair
in his vehicle to make changing shoes or working on the bike more comfortable?

I'm seeing this a LOT these days, guys taking furniture along to put on their
socks.

Ron

The guys I ride mountain bikes with occaisionally all bring a chair
along in their cars. It has nothing to do with changing socks, it's for
the post ride beer and chips. Every time I'n standing there drinking my
beer while they're all sitting, I promise myself I'm going to buy one
of those things.

To the previous poster:
Is that the Aldi chain of discount stores that is similar to Wal-Mart?
What kind of tubing, and do you know who made the bicycle for them?

Yes it is sort of like a German version of Wal-Mart I guess, they have
specials every week to get shoppers in, they don't have many shelves just
pallets and boxes to save costs.

www.aldi.com

It is made in China and is 7005 Alloy tubing, the frame is very stiff and
actually quite nice to ride and sprint on.
It is not as comfortable on rough roads as my circa 1990 Pinarrello steel
frame was, but is lighter and more of compact design.

Thylacine stripes, you must be fast.

That is a picture of me on it there early this year when I was racing in the
lower grades when I had just got back into racing.

I have lost quite a lot of fat now and my legs are heaps bigger now, those
other guys in the photo have no chance of even holding my wheel now at the
speeds I ride at.

Well they're afraid to get close, you big scary animal you.

Well, that's mountain bikers. They do smart stuff like that, they know how to
hang. I understand them - like a bowling league but with big, gnarly calf
muscles. It's the road and tri guys I wonder about.

When I train with a group of riders from my club the average is between 35
to 40 km/h for around 60 km, this includes some hills and a nice flat
section that the bunch goes at 45 to 53 km/h.

When training on my own I tend to have just over 30 km/h when doing the
rides with hills, and around 35 km/h on the flatter rides.

And when I take my 63 year old father out training the speed is a bit lower
as he has only started riding a few months ago and struggles to sit on my
wheel at speeds over 35 km/h.

Extra FM points for racing with your pump on the top tube.

I have some of those little dual action pumps, but have found them useless
as trying to get pressure above 80 psi is not easy.

With that longer pump I can get 130 psi reasonably easy, and I need at least
that due to my weight or I am riding on the rims :P

You should get masters fattie points just for showing you actually bought a
PROPRIETARY rear tire!!
