Mark Beaumont's book 'The Man Who Cycled The World' might be a useful reference as he went somewhere along these lines Bon Voyage!

Thanks John, i have to say my tubs are taped on so normally can you pull them off and put a new one one using the residue left on the rim? i also want to hear the noise of my wheels but dont fancy being stuck in the middle of nowhere
-
'I quickly swapped them out for a pair of ?????, which were clinchers. I simply cant offset the various merits of tubs against the fact that if you puncture youre potentially left hoping youve got a mobile signal and enough in your wallet for a…

My Ultegra chain is about 3 years old now and is making clicking noises as it runs over the front big ring. I have bought a replacement and will let you know if it quietens things down. i have also bought some Phil's Tenacious Oil and will report o…

Erm I just put the Welwyn track training details up for anyone who wants to get some experience riding a track bike or are thinking of doing track training or the league this year.... Wasn't thinking about it as an alternative to a velodrome and it's…

Taken from Welwyn Wheelers website: Welwyn Go-Ride Session The Welwyn Go-Ride Session takes place on Saturdays between 9.00 to 11.15 (for dates see the Calendar on this website). During the track season (April to September) the sessions will use tr…

Sadly according to the data sheet Phil's Tenacious Oil doesn't smell

Courtesy of Sheldon Brown are all of the following pearls: 'One of the great controversies of chain maintenance is whether you should oil a chain or not.' 'I usually run the oil along the left side only, in hope that the clean oil will be able to f…

i was sold Stealth with the usual promises of it being the next best thing and interestingly including it would make my bike silent. i have to say i found it to be rubbish. orrible gloopy consistency and made the chain and cassette look filthy. Have …

How about a ride out to St Ives, watch some racing, have some beers and get the train home??
-
Ah so thats where i kept going wrong - turning right at Turnpike Lane. Simples then just keep going on Green Lanes. Nice one.

Here you go http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/baldock-eng/ashwell-to-exmouth-market-route-2272101 As said above need a better way through to Enfield than the A10.
-
i think Martin has a link. i have done it a few times and can assist if nothing else appears. Having said this i want a better way through to Forty Hill from Green Lanes as in the past i have ridden up the A10 to Enfield and it scares the pants off m…

Were those Pave's clinchers or tubs Geoff? would you dare run a pair of sew ups on those roads?
-
i seem to remember Continental sell their Attack/Force clinchers as a combo of 21 front and 23 rear. i think any potential build up of glue on the rim needs to be taken into account....
-
Ooh how does the rolling resistance of a 21c compare to more conventional 23c tubs?
-
Did you turn the bike upside down? This can cause problems. May need to bleed the brakes.
-
i used to have a pair of wader like that for fishing at Grafham. Wondered where they went....

Let me explain. These are to stop my whistle getting soaked between Kings X and the office whilst on the commute. Would never consider such precautions whilst on a road bike what were you thinking Daniel!

Cheers Will. Not sure about yr 'go up a size' advice - what you sayin?

I'm off to Majorca at the end of April a few days after this event so will probably give the the shorter route a bash. We had a family holiday at the Iberostar hotel mentioned on the website a few years ago and it was great. We recommend it as a pl…

Dibs a place. This was a great day out last year and an epic run in to the finish

Andrew - thanks for organising this and the work you put in to getting us some track time. I have put myself down as a beginner adult as I really didn't feel very experienced on the boards in Manchester and I would need to get the feel of this mala…

Get well soon guys. I beat you by a week as was also taken out by black ice last Saturday. Messy elbow but not much else. Went home and got the cx bike out the Greenway was much friendlier!

Northwave Farenheits - lovely toastie Also the Endura gimp overshoes are pretty good at keeping feet warm.
-
cx or mtb Mark?
-
More updates please this is better than TV
-
Nice one John, Jackie and Noah. A great achievement just to be there and racing at this level. I don't know how some of the riders get round these courses so quickly but would like to find out,
-
I wondered where you got to Daniel! Hope all in mended soon. This was better than I thought it would be. Watching an old race on YouTube didn't do the course justice. It was fun:) best moment was overtaking by taking the inside line across beach No …
