  • Are we ever to ride together FD? What's happening? A supposed larger, slower Dutchman shy of a ride out...... A captain that has a good turn of speed and is actually out front (a little more than usual).... The suggestion that we ride in the rain.…
  • First time i have done the 'M' and a nice route showing my current lack of fitness but these things have to be done A good sprint home and a lively discussion on 'shimys'!! The term 'leadout' would seem to apply to whoever happens to be at the fron…
  • At this rate we will have to rename him 'Captain Jetwash' Might join you on Friday if that's ok Pete2inthecaptainswake
  • whoops sorry....8.38....its been a long day Pete
  • Hi John Good to have you back My Garmin said we finished at 7.30 but i am sure it lied about my heart rate although i hope so Pete2
  • Found this on the net and felt it worth sharing for beginners like me as it appears to offer some good advice on that technique and also reverses the line rotation as Geoffg is suggesting above How To Ride Through And Off - Chain Gang | Racesmart …

  • Thanks FD, hope your voyage is proving useful in the dos and don't s on nutrition values Good to be back and looking forward to our maiden voyage for 2015, come to think of it look forward to any maiden these days! The captain a mere shadow of his …
  • Thanks PeterT My first time on a chain gang and certainly I believe the key is technique and discipline, thanks for the advice and 'in ride' coaching Not that fit at the moment so my great plan was to do a 1 lap and call it a day, sadly great comp…
  • Thanks for a great ride, i was a bit nervous about returning but as usual the pirates very accommodating to an ole sailor who had lost his way. Highlights of the day, my garmin kept auto pausing on climbs just reminding me how slow i am.....thanks f…
  • Sounds like you had a great time and the 'Bean Bullet' no doubt keeping the pace up

    Hope to see you soon

    Hope to see you soon

  • Sounds really good John...... Something to train for? Or train train for. I think it was actually colder on the turbo than it was outside today for once.

    Good to hear the Bullet was frisky...it truly must be spring!

    New hoo…
  • Still struggling with the weight and fitness so the turbo calls for me for a bit of base training with no bacon sarni after

    Just when things appeared to be going ok, i am advised that Base Training is a waste of time and Interval traini…
  • Yo Ho cough! splutter! Cap'n

    Cap'n back in fine form, the new lightweight FD (well done John) and the return of the 'bullet'

    Ifear the last thing the Black Pig needs is an anchor!! and in dock for repairs

  • Under par, under power and most certainly under duvet! Have a safe ride
  • Haha thanks Jane, I thought 'have the tights, why not finish the outfit off!Have you a tiara i could borrow?

    Size 22 might not be too far off John as i have just had to send a Christmas present back as its a large and too small!!! really…
  • Thanks John, sorry to hear about the rest of the crew.
    Love the suggestions they all sound great and up for it, another suggestion cycle up, train back, curry and a beer
    I took a look at that Paris Nice ride looks like a great challenge w…
  • Hi John,

    Looked like a great ride and a great idea riding out and training it back, love to join you on one if you fancy the company. I haven't been very well for a while which has meant a long time off the bike and one and a half stone …
  • Thanks Rupert, nothing better than cleaning the bike after a decent ride and always up for a few tips. I must agree that apart from chain lube I don't use any cycle specific products for the same reason you suggest.
    There is the old adidge tha…
  • Thanks for a great ride and good to see all the old faces back. I note that the 'we don't sprint in winter' rule was suitably revoked and perhaps this rule may be a little....eerrr fluid dependent on if the captain is in the lead out?
    Road cond…
  • Mick started for land with a long and superb lead out only to be scuttled by a mechanical
    The captain as we know thrives on misfortune of others and wheezed his way past in Andys hour of need.
    Then like a landlubber with a belly full of g…
  • Good to hear from you John and yep the Cap'n unusually quiet!....we should have had a trip out together although i sound like a set of bagpipes at the moment. would have made you laugh at least!
  • Thanks James...saw nothing on the forum and feared the worse that the ole girl might have been holed below the waterline. Ended up riding with St Ives CC!!!!
  • Thanks Martin, i guess you just have to remember to stop when you get to the sea!!

  • Looks good but just wondered what kind of pace yo are going to ride at?

  • There is a Bespoke Cycling in Farringdon that sounds possibly like the same company. Their main business is unsurprisingly bespoke bikes with relatively little on show. Two floors with the lower floor given to consulting rooms for RETUL bike fits and…
