I think I should have been a migratory bird

Better a migratory bird than this poor animal:

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

Hi all!

Nice photo Dave.

Where is Raleigh? I'll have to look it up.

By coincidence we bought a couple of Raleigh cycles before Christmas. Along with about 3 layers of kit. Some of the winter rides have been great - even if your face goes completely numb...

Cheers,

Where is Raleigh?

Hi Matt --

Raleigh is in the southeast of the US. It is the capital of the State of North Carolina. Here's a map to help see where we are:

I would love to claim Raleigh bicycles as a local product, but they are headquartered over in the UK. I wonder if their production still is. It seems like everything like that has been exported to where labor is less these days.

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

Hi Dave,

One of the many places I have lived in the UK was Nottingham (Home of Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest and the lace industry) while I was there in 1993-1996 Raleigh still had their factory producing Bicycles - not sure if it's still there though today

Nottingham (Home of Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest and the lace industry)

Hmm ... Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest and the lace industry you say. Now I know where Monty Python got the concept for "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." I wonder what the title might have been if Nottingham had been known for something more masculine than lace, something like baked beans -- no, better not go there -- LOL tongue

I presume that when you speak of the lace industry there, you aren't refering to what we homebrewers call "Lacing" as seen on this mug that I just finished:

Time to go to the fridge and get another one, looks like.

There, that's better.

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

I remember my Granny used to crochet lace. I think it is much more fun to drink your mug into lace biggrin

The inside scoop on lace:

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

I'm loving all the beer lacing - how do you insert photos in forum posts Dave?

Looks like another top 3 crunch for the Wardstar

Keep up the record crunching team!

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

Pete --

I upload them to ClubPhoto.com and then I display them to find the url of the image. I then cut/paste it into an {img]...[/img] line in the posting here. I do resize them first and also have to have a paid membership in ClubPhoto in order to reference them. I'm working on doily number 4 now biggrin

Re: It's a new team record for runtime !!!!!!!!

I was hoping to post a picture of my lager lacing at home but seems like a lot of effort after a few pints LOL tongue

Stats come soon - let's hope they are a good'un
