I can think of far better things to do in the rain, such as riding up and down a dangerous dual carriageway without having washed, all for a free hot drink and a piece of bread pudding for 50p.
GlennR May 2017 3:18pm, 2 May 2017 27,106 posts	Quote Pin GlennR Oh yes, that's exactly what a sensible person would do.
GregP May 2017 3:20pm, 2 May 2017 92,468 posts	Quote Pin GregP Much better off spending £12 a week to ride round and round a concrete aerodrome in the middle of a dozen or so other people whilst being rained on, in the hope that at the end of the 18-week season you'll win enough money that you'll only be £180-odd quid down in entry costs and still have enough spare cash to pay the hospital fees when the inevitable mass pile-up occurs. See, crit racing really is the glamour branch of cycle sport.
GregP May 2017 3:22pm, 2 May 2017 92,469 posts	Quote Pin GregP [I won £30 last year - and it only cost £12 *18, plus £5 race registration plus £10 for the year's license. I've still got my 2015 dossard, so that saves me a tenner every year]
GlennR May 2017 3:27pm, 2 May 2017 27,109 posts	Quote Pin GlennR How did you win £30? Spot prize for the most punctures?
Nicholls595 May 2017 3:30pm, 2 May 2017 11,970 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 Someone should invent a cycling simulator. It never rains in your living room.
GlennR May 2017 3:31pm, 2 May 2017 27,112 posts	Quote Pin GlennR What kind of tw*t would use a thing like that?
Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) May 2017 3:34pm, 2 May 2017 14,755 posts	Quote Pin Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Plenty of rain on the indoor cycling simulator. Snow, a blue whale and an erupting Volcano as well. The only place where the stunning realism is a bit lacking is the Box Hill climb, where there are no wankers in cars trying to mow you down, and nobody stops at the café at the top.
Nicholls595 May 2017 3:36pm, 2 May 2017 11,971 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 Does that answer your question Glenners?
GregP May 2017 3:37pm, 2 May 2017 92,474 posts	Quote Pin GregP Tenth in AG Glenn, purely - or at least largely - by turning up a lot.
