Too late in the pm. Too many Glenlivets! Will expand and expand more in the 'morrow

I had one, paid over £200. That was two yrs ago. Perhaps three? No issues since.... 'Til this mid October. Now, I am struggling to explain what has changed. Since May I have clocked up 5800 miles, and now I am seeking some solution as it's frustra…

Bringing this back now he's underway. Steve is based in MK. "Can you, or a friend help? There has been a fantastic response so far to help Steve reach his goal. However, some practical, local help at his home would be of particular help to him, es…

As with most everything in life, there's a tutorial on YouTube, I've had to do it twice myself whilst out on the trails; alas, Tuesday's nights, I can never manage.

My first and only race was around the Top Gear track, that very same thing happened, one of the "dreaded triathletes" went over the bars, head first, took 11 with him; there were three bodies still lying out on the tarmac when I left 30 minutes late…

In light of these two CCA riders: Page 154, December 2014s National Geographic Magazine. The following is fine and apt quote from Alexandra Fullers time spent with several Chilean bagualeros (cowboys) on a terribly inaccessible, remote island wa…

Much talk of Paleo diet. Did anyone read the Saturday Telegraph this w/end? Article on swimming the channel, of course the swimmer in question had a huge bowl of porridge before setting off, plus talk of on-the-move feeding (carb' gels). 13hrs and …

Up here on the high ground at Sandon it is freezingfog, visibility below 100m. Last I read, the Met Office predicted it lasting much of the morning, sunshine after lunch.
-
501km for me, though the mileage was entirely coincidental with the last few Km's clocked up on NY Eve whilst looking for the YHA in central London, though I have to say that the ride up Regent's Street with all the Xmas lights at 5pm was a real del…

If it is any consolation, the minor roads along NCR 1 are all skating rinks here near Canterbury. Having to walk up a down some "hills" so bad is it. Toasty-warm in my tent at night though.

The best breakfasts away from Home Are, in reverse order: Travel Lodge (£6:50 All you can possibly eat and still retain some dignity), Toby Jug, (£3.99, again, all you can shovel down y'er gullet, & hang the dignity). Other Greasy Spoon caff's …

Of course, from 08:45; I'm not Christian, I'm single, but more importantly, the roads are all-but empty & I have 2x Strava Challenges still underway; 354Km still to do in the next 6 days for the Rapha Festive 500.
-
THIS then is my offer. 35 miles from - to Sandon. 1750ft of climb. With Ashwell adjustments = 42 miles (?). The best part of the ride is that it rides along the very last Hoorah! that is the Chiltern ridge-line, running due east from Sandon, reall…

Too many cars on this route today = proportionally far too many idiots out in their four wheeled coffins. White Van-Man, being a White Van-Man, White VW Sirocco in the deer park who came way-too close, and that Golf later on. I wonder if the group…
-
Ensure the jockey wheels are not a 3rd party item? I have had a not dissimilar issue and it came down to these two wheels not being Shimano. As simple as that and boy! did we go around the houses to tweak, re-tweak and then some on the rear Mech an…
-
Me too. Galaxy up and running well again after two days in the LBS. Where to tomorrow?
-
I started out with an Edge 200, maybe 10 (?) yrs ago, liked the facilities, then one by one, never used them! Also, I have a Polar 720i cycling watch - it's sitting in a box with all the cadence gear, having not seen daylight in years. So when it …

Never been on a roller but happy / keen to have a ride - are there any rollers available? Should I put my road rear tyre on, replacing the plastic turbo tyre or is that OK?
-
Unless you need all the training gizmos, and HR widgets, is there any need for anything beyond the standard T which links a comparison with the 800. As much as I fancied the 800 when I bought mine back in May, once I'd digested the details, most o…

Pictures and a pdf from the "fast group" at the Velodrome. Let me know if you'd like any of these.
-
What's the food intake prior to the ride? The best source of energy is and has always been fat, most notably from animal sources. Ask Ranulf Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, he lost out to the Norwegians on at least one race due to his feeding regime not…

Will sit Monday's out - Turbo session instead - 'til the whole running gear is replaced on the Dawes, then see you mid week? Anyone have a link to a decent Youtube (or similar) training video to keep the interest levels up indoors? Thanks for lead…

No one has yet answered this question about the Festive 500 Miles; I too will be clocking up miles, just not with the club on the 50's, others have asked but there's no response as yet. Strava & Garmin evidence submissable?
-
Thanks I've paid the annual CCA fee for him already. I've mentioned it to his dad, but it's their work's do that Friday night... See you on Saturday.

James Creaven: 49 please. Own shoes.

BMI, along with measurements such as the one that suggests you HR max is 220 minus your age work for most people most of the time. Its always going to be complicated, having guidelines population-wide that attempt to encompass those outside of the …

Many will be at the Velodrome on Saturday.
-
Tim Fisher bike: 55 Edit - just read Geoff's remarks. I ride a 54 road bike, though Trek's own sizing chart suggests a 56. Happy to take whatever you suggest.

Avoid the Barkway to Gt Chishill road if you're heading that way, approaching / the decent into Shaftenhoe End, it never thaws and you're in trouble and doing & 15+mph before you know it. Cloudy from 02:00 You do know that there's a meteor show…
