Great ride, thanks for navigating Martin! Relieved to see that I wasn't the only one a bit knackered afterwards- having a rest day today, but feels like I've had lead injected into my thighs overnight...
-
Thanks Tim, James and Adam, an almost enjoyable evening, great conditions. Tim, hope I didn't ruin your man's film with my sweating, dribbling and general gurning...
-
I'll be there at some point on Friday evening - traffic depending, maybe about 9pm...
-
Hi Geoff, sorry about the slow response; just got back from France last night. I can make this month's trip up north, looking forward to it. Unfortunately my long summer of training comes to an end this week, as I have to start a new job next week, s…

Hello, In case it doesn't fit Andy for any reason, I'd be interested, but his is a far more deserving case... Cheers, Dave.
-
All sounds great, and impressive badgery from Martin - I like the idea of hidden treasure on-route, maybe you could scatter some clues, pirate-style... Tim, let us know what we can bring food-wise - I'm thinking we'll pick it up somewhere at the end…
-
Good to hear you sounding so positive Andy, that was some pain you were in last night! Hope you get better quickly. Just wanted to point out - I'm sure lots more people would have stopped to help, but we deliberately waved them through- they weren't …

A selection of the Ashwell contingent, beforehand: And arriving at the top of Caerphilly Mountain: And after the final sprint:

Wow, great ride - I'd recommend it to anyone for next year, should it be allowed to run again. Probably the best organised event I've ever ridden in (the good weather edged it past last year's Ride London for me), a slick operation and cracking route…
-
Sounds epic - I'm gutted I can't make it this month, but it's Velothon Wales this weekend (assuming the locals don't get it pulled first), so hoping to make it up in July. Enjoy the ride- fingers crossed for some good weather, both in Yorkshire and W…

Anyone got any thoughts as to alternative TTs for tomorrow night? If the Beeb is to be believed, the wind is supposed to drop to 6mph tomorrow night, not too bad. Unless people are heading elsewhere, I may try to improve on last week's lacklustre per…

Hiya Mark, Would we be able to buy a small women's gilet and a medium mens gilet please? We can't make it to the club night this month, but we'll be in touch about picking them up from you if that's ok?(or we can do an online payment and you pass the…

My shift onto a TT bike last night bought me a whole second over the road bike - it's clearly all about the gear... ;-) Thanks to all the helpers last night! Dave
-
Great, thanks Tim - we'll take a gamble and turn up and see - the forecast I was looking at showed the wind dropping from about 40 down to 20mph between 6 and 7, so fingers crossed... Cheers, Dave.
-
Hello, Can't make tonight I'm afraid, but can you put me down for a medium for me please - I'm pretty average sized, but I find smaller tops are often a bit short in the body... thanks! Dave.
-
Ah, still looks nice and warm- surely you'd rather be back here in cold with the rest of us, doing the slowest time trials on record...? Enjoy your last day, throw David in the pool from us... saludos cordiales Miguel.
-
Beautiful evening, thanks to the timekeepers!
-
Nice one Adam, thanks for organising - see you there at 9 (although probably not if the weather's horrible!). Cheers, Dave.
-
Tough ride, thanks David! Yeah, I noticed the worms as well- where did they come from???
-
Sorry, I hadn't seen this until now - I'd definitely be up for it if it does happen... Cheers, Dave.
-
Thanks Benny - I got logged in, but can't see any sign of success or otherwise (apart from a 'balance' of £58?), guess we have to wait til next week...
-
Good work - Where do you find the account log-in? I can't find it on their website...
-
Anyone else's partners/friends/mothers coming to meet them in nice? Think we're going to tag a couple of days on the end, guess we'll sort out hotel stuff once there's a bit more detail in place... I'm guessing survivors will be looking for a bit of …

We went to Arinal, just outside Palma in May, and used http://www.ciclosquintana.com/?lang=en - they were really helpful, and had some good bikes for hire at about 25e per day- they were out of Pinarellos, so we had carbon Merida Sculturas for a coup…
-
Thanks very much! I'm paid up and looking forward to it..!
-
Hi Tim, sorry to hear about this. A guy we used at work once is Deon Van Rooyen - he was very reasonably priced and based in Cambridgeshire, doing all kinds of mobile welding might be worth a try if you get stuck...
-
Hi Robbie, MC did such a good sales job on me on the way to Wells on Friday, I'd love to do it- can you put me down for 15th rider in case anyone drops out please? (Not Jenny this time, maybe the following year...).Thanks!
-
Yeah, thanks very much to everyone who gives up there time to organise this great weekly event, and also to all the regular riders who made us feel so welcome in our first season- I had fears it could be a bit elitist and serious for the uninitiated,…
-
Great day out, despite the carnage caused by weather! My experience was that the organisation was pretty slick - started at 7.09 (only two minutes later than scheduled), but the rain started just three minutes before the start, and not stopping until…
