  • Thanks Alex and Tim.

    Anyone with experience of Felt bikes?
  • Brilliant Alex, just the sort of feedback I'm after.

    I think for 2010 the cassette and chain combination has been tweaked to make shifting and running quieter. I'm running a SRAM cassette with an Ultegra chain on my summer bike at the m…
  • Geoff,

    Always planned to help out on at least one TT this season, and having been off the bike for a week don't think I'm in much condition to give it the beans this week so I've already mentally switched off. Perhaps I could marshall a…
  • Geoff,

    As Angus has offered to timekeep can I suggest that you be my backup in case I don't make it back in time (I'm sure I will be). Gives you one last chance to get those legs pumping in anger this season.

    Darren
  • Geoff,

    I'll do my best to get back in time. Normally this meeting is over by lunchtime so I'm back mid-late afternoon. If I'm going to struggle to make it I'll let you know as soon as I can.

    Darren
  • Thanks John, and Thanks Tim.

    Will be back week after and will push off/timekeep/marshall/generally shout encouragement or whatever needs doing. Either way, after a week off the bike I won't be in any condition to race. Apparently there…
  • Aaargh. Sorry Lindsey, I got my dates wrong. I'm away on the 18th so can't help you.

    I'm happy to help the following week if I can. I will be in Gosport that day but should be back in plenty of time. If someone can volunteer with me …
  • You're probably right Geoff. Just a fortuitous opportunity that I've missed out on anyway.
  • Actually Fred,

    Having seen them I'll have them myself and giver her a pair of my old Looks.

    Darren
  • Fred,

    I wouldn't mind taking them off your hand for my daughter. I've just bought her a new bike and she keeps looking longingly at clipless pedals.

    I'll give you something for them. I'm in Stotfold, just off Queen St so r…
  • You're right about that wind. Struggled all the way back from Haslingfield although the descent down Chapel Hill gave a brief respite. Ended up with 68 miles at 17.4 avg.

    Vincent, was that you I saw between Hinxworth and Ashwell at abo…
  • Tim,

    Everyone tells me that titanium is great comfort wise. Unfortunately I don't have the money for that at the moment, not unless I can sell off the wife and kids to slave traders.

    I'm interested in the Boardman as well b…
  • Only difference Geoff is that my handlebar width is slightly more on the alu bike but I would expect that to cause me shoulder pain if anything was amiss. Only talking 2cm difference. Rest of the bike is setup as I've been riding for last 20-odd ye…
  • Tim,

    Can I bagsy a pair of XL bibshorts please. Unlikely to be around as I'm in Bolton midweek.

    Daughter also after a ss top but not 100% sure on size, she might have to try a couple on.

    Darren
  • Thanks for organising Lindsey. Good evening's entertainment and good banter.

    I think I might have discovered the secret of sustained improvement. I spent a fair chunk of yesterday afternoon on the toilet but managed to go 1:49 faster.<…
  • Quite a few people seem to think cycling on the A1 is dangerous. I regularly drive up and down the A1 up as far as Ferrybridge and TTs are a common midweek sight further up but they tend to be point to point from what I have seen.

    I've …

  • Thanks for organising Tim.

    Have to say I cycled home with a smile on my face. Last time I did a 25 was 10 or so years ago on the A1 and I did a 1:12 something. All without the aid of tt bars/disc wheels/super stiff frame/safety net.

  • Tim,

    Now daughter has joined youths she's looking for ss top and shorts, small adult I guess. I also need XL bib shorts for myself. Can you give me an idea of price as well please.

    Thanks,

    Darren
  • Geoff,

    Hannah definitely wants to come back again, but highly doubt I'll be around next week. If I'm not in Stortford with my lads football I'll be stuck in Gosport for work.

    Will bring completed forms and money along the w…
  • Thanks for organising this week Tim.

    That last couple of miles is a killer, I reckon I could make up a few seconds along there with a few more intervals in the legs, oh, and the climb up to the crossroads doesn't help.

    I did…

  • Geoff,

    Is it OK if my daughter comes along to try it out, or do we need to get her signed up?

    Darren
  • Hi Tim,

    Would like the XL top but can't get along tonight. Hope to be at the 10 tomorrow if work allows.

    Darren
  • Hi,
    Potential new member Darren here.

    Finally getting the chance to come out with you now lad's football season is virtually over. Did come out with you for a ride about September but back was playing up so had to split off.
