What's the score with the TT then?
is it a steady ride from Saints or just make your own way there?
Most Important, Beers where after?!?!?!?
What time does it go dark? do we need light. Yes it's been a long time since I've been out in the evening!!
And finally is the start on the Whitchurch road??
And no I don't fancy my chances, I'll be the sweeper :)
Use RSS to keep track of new articles...
Make your own way to the car park by the side of Whitchurch on the Llandyrnog road out of Denbigh
I would recomend using a rear red LED light for these early season rides, and you will certainly need a full set of lights if you intend to ride home.
For the beer, I propose that we go to the Kinmel Arms in Llandyrnog.
on the right of the web site, it says 1 day to fisrt VC Melyd TT.
That would be Wednesday, or does the web fairy use a different calendar?!?!?
I thouhgt it was thursday??
Syd its Thursday, the countdown on the left is a fiendish attempt by the webmeister to win the first tt by default! why dont you come along to the chain gang tonight it will be good practice for suffering, plus it's sub 40 miles! talking of suffering how did the secret mile muncher do on sunday anybody been in touch? see you lot later cheers justin
am planning on riding tonight, weather permitting.
failing that may throw Do Do,
to the fan and just give thursday a whirl!!
Syd - its like this - its doing a countdown in seconds to the day upon which the TT is. It is the same as it was for the clock change.
To put it another way - tomorrow is wednesday, there are no longer 86 400 seconds until Midnight Wednesday (the start of Thursday), seeing as it then rounds that to the nearest integer you are left with zero a day early ( I thought decimals of a day was more than a little anally retentive ) . As you can see - if I had two brain cells to rub together I would have had it counting down to the day afterwards wouldnt I, or bothered to set the time AND date? Yes. Alas not the case.
$days = (date("U",strtotime("2006-4-20 00:00:00")) - date("U")) / 86400;
echo((int)($days));
I bet you are pleased you asked now.
It's Thursday as everything (else) proclaims... and I volunteered for pushing off, so no high fibre foods before hand.
... this mythical beast only exists in the minds of management - where assumptions are made that things will magically happen.
but as long as you know what you mean, oh mighty Web Master :)
I have amended the start block to assist those of you who needed something a little more accurate, since technically there were no more full days left until Thursday - its now specifically counting down to tomorrow evening 1900hrs (BST).
For the challenged, please note this is only accurate when the page loads, so I dont want anyone using that as an excuse for being late!
Oh - and Syd... :op
Oi Webmeister sort your life out! there will be nobody there at this rate! I understand the quantum maths behind the server thinking the TT was yesterday (honest)but why is it counting down to 1900 BST when the TT starts at a quarter to seven,6.45 or 1845BST if you prefer, can you stick a big headline on the site to clarify, otherwise it could be a bit of a nightmare cheers buddy see you later i,m just baking some fig,date and bran wholemeal muffins to go with my cabbage and cauliflower soup for lunch! still pushing off by the way?
My bad.
Genuine mistake.
Just spoken to the main man - and he say starting at 1900 due to Alan not finishing spinning until 1845... which I am sure will not even dent the time of the beast (o;
I will post on the front page.
No longer pushing off - now riding - hoorah!
From a negative outlook on it to "if I make it under 30 mins I am a happy man" in the space of ten minutes.
Now - about that TT bike - some quick maintainence required I think before throwing it in the back of the car! It's all a bit of fun - will post on front page - see you all there.
