A hard day. When I close my eyes I am still going up Tan Hill. Great to see you Geoff. I was a bit delirious by the pub. Chapeau to my fellow riders, especially the super domestique of all super domestiques John Polak. The hot pie with minted mu…

Marvellous, thank you

Bit of a crisis here; could I get a lift to Skipton with anyone's? Daniel

I got an e-mail at the end of April. Just forwarded this to you Robbie! (You can sign in on Sunday.)

The terrain is such that the hills will magnify the effect of different paces within a group, so holding a train together will be problematic. So, I for one, am not interested in holding back such an ensemble. We have a large group, so can accommod…

YES ! The race on May 27th is a cracker - Warmly Forest Park. The course is on a hill and features mixed surfaces, steps, grass land and the sort of fun you expect in October. Very muddy if wet. Details here It would be great to see you all ther…

Good point Martin. The hot pies at the end are very fine, especially with mushy peas and as recommended above, gravy.

I intend to start riding at 07:00 Bad weather is kind of the norm for this area. Good caution from Graham, the descents are tricky. Oh, and don't look up after the last feed stop! Daniel

I really enjoyed myself last night. A great course. The chip timing worked a treat so I had the 'Eastern League CX Experience' of being able to pour over the times (and lap times) in the evening. The western chapter of CCA have smiles on their fac…

I have booked the Thai Basil for eight people for 19:00 on Saturday in the name of Daniel. See y'all there!
-
We need photos of this aero pastie...
-
I think meeting at the Thai Basil, as Jane suggests above, is a great idea. How about I book a table for 20:15? Who's in? Daniel
-
Great rides you two! I note pretty much the whole of Pearl Izumi women's team showed up; that must have been an impressive spectacle!

Indeed a great day out, sunshine and daffodils growing by the roadside. Gresley would have been mightily impressed by the exuberance of the locomotive! Tom D, Robbie, MC, Nathaniel, Martin H and myself. We missed you Jane! I guess the times get…
-
Fantastic! Well done James and Jackie.
-
Splendid ride Mark, thank you for organising this. Many punctures of course. I did indeed get a puncture, which is annoying, however it does mean the spliced inner tube repair I had made did not fail (I did wonder if that was the cause of my flat).…

Brilliant. Thank you for being prepared to run this for us Mark. Not too late to sign up! Daniel
-
Does everyone know where to go?
-
I'll take the pedals please Chris! Daniel
-
This is quite frankly genius. I particularly like the training advantage of stepping over a fallen cyclist.
-
Looking forward to this!

Good tip Shelton. Another tip is to use cyclocross forks; only improves the front wheel clearance of course. Easiest with 1 1 /8" headset bearings as the fork exchange will be simple. The cantilever pins can often be removed, certainly on composit…

These always used to be de rigueur. Try them out on the G Ride! I suspect low pressure, but not sure how low.
-
At the Racing Curry we discussed running a 'Fake Race'. The idea being to ride a circuit based on a local race route and train certain moves and manoeuvres. This worked well last year when we did it, but I think we can make it much more useful! To…

From what I have heard BB30 can be problematic. Adapting it to a conventional style like gxp sounds like a really good idea to me.
-
Is that a BB30 bottom bracket on that frame?
-
Indeed the women's race is excellent; an object lesson in the value of teamwork in cycling. Search for UCIchannel on Youtube and watch the replay. (Skip the first minutes as it is a static screen). Anyone interested in any form of cycle racing sh…

One of the great benefits of tubs is the use of latex inner tubes, these give a great ride quality and are less prone to puncturing. I think Conti don't use latex inner tubes, so I would steer clear of them. Tufo have a unique construction which ha…

That would be a shame if it got cancelled. (Am I in tune?)
