Its the hassle when the postie can’t deliver it and you having to collect from the sorting office.

I can ride up hills I couldn’t before – quite noticeable for me.

Not sure if because of better traction, larger footprint, better rolling so better cadence but its real …. whatever … ?!

Have noticed I’m no longer the first to dismount on the really steep stuff too.

If theres smoke then theres Carbon Monoxide too I imagine …

Immediate intervention required …

Great bike, nice in Orange built up with black bits.

It flies when up to speed and feels solid and so stable.

I love it.

I’m 6-3 and have the XL but am considering trying the frame size below …….

BC is cheaper than CTC … £24 vs £41

CTC gives you a decent 10% off at Evans and a good mag.

BC gives 10% at Halfords.

BC isn’t full of ole whingers either …

😉

OCTOBER ALREADY !

Better get panic buying the tinsel then …..

😯

My old 3GS worked without a sim on home wifi.

And my Galaxy S2 does as well.

I use these : Cateye SL-LD110 rear LED Loop cycle Light

CATEYE

They’re very effective and bright. Also tough and easy to strap to the back part of the helmet.

Only downside is the type of battery they use but you get approx 100hrs from one when flashing.

Not sure what you mean by pricey but you’re looking at a colour laser i reckon.

Like this one – Here it be

Colour onto plain paper, speed and cost all better than inkjet for what you’ll be doing.

If you buy a cheap inkjet printer they always get you back with the cost of the cartridge.

They organise a good race series as well the ace Bucks Offroad Sportive.

Ooh yes …

LEFTOVER CHUM PIE !

Yes, there’s no swearing or the like.

Quite measured.

🙂

Nope – just check it occasionally.

Maybe.

But I do like everything they’ve done as a team.

Victorian / Edwardian/ etc farm ….

Very good … !

Whoever you use, make sure they don’t pass it on to YODEL.

Shocking service ….

Sevendayshop AA’s on Amazon.
Excellent power and value.

Scuse me – anyone recommend some cheap lights ?

Yup – should have turned it down for you.

Simple.

Anything else is inconsiderate.

Neighbours tree has THREE apples whereas the past 2 years have been bumper crops.

Other trees I can see across gardens are doing ok though.

Don’t they have alternate years or similar ?

Has had me looking into making cider with cheap ASDA juice instead !

^^

Me too – 2012 Orange is very nice looking.

But either way, good choice !

I’ve a Samsung S2 which is great but I prefer the HTC interfaces.

Next phone will prob be an HTC.

Lumia looks nice.

Weight loss is a definite.

But was hoping to find a simple week by week plan but no joy.

Theres loads for half marathons/ marathons, etc .. but nowt free for cyclists.

Synchronised crashing as an Olympic sport !

Amazing skills there ….

Watched that WIGGO programme last night and I’ve a new found respect for the fella.

Had no idea idea he’d been at it for quite that long.

listen, lets not take anything away from what has been a lifes ambition for a top english bloke. He and the team have had a plan and executed it perfectly. You can only race and deal with whats there at the time. He has been the best rider and they have been the best team. End of.

Yes.

If it wasn’t sky and Brad I’d go so far as saying boring…

Yup, +1

Lack of serious competition and / or riders under orders, plus the total dominance of Team SKY shutting down everything hasn’t made for great watching.

The coverage of the breaks and incidents is more than the GC battle because theres no drama there.

‘Look, theres SKY at the front destroying all competition – again.’

Its reduced poor Scherwinn to repeating himself countless times as he tries to think of something to say.

🙂

I agree ….

MASSIVE clearout always hooks me and then they end up with 5 odds and sods ….

😆

++ Cute PDF.

Very reliable.

Love this thread.

Esp. if built and delivered by Ellie.

Whereabouts in Herts is this ?

(Just so i can avoid …)

Fast as anything last summer in the dry but with little grip/ no grip.

If wired then no great deal.

If beaded then good deal.

Agreed – few more signs would have been good.

Didn’t think they were as obvious as last year, and i was looking.

+1

For that money, and for a good all round, all year bike – RIBBLE.

Ace ride – again !

The second half of the 132km route was drying out nicely by the time I got there and gave me a second wind.

Some of those muddy sections at the beginning were proper energy sappers. Was thinking of bailing around the first feed station but then it improved.

Thanks WDMBC – another good one !

I won’t ride a full susser on the basis there for pussies so thats what i picked.

YUP …

😆

The Genesis Altitude should be on your list too.

853 tubing – the faster you go the better it feels – lovely ride.

Shame I have to sell … !

XL Frame, Reba forks and finishing kit up for grabs if you’re ready/ right size.

Good to see all the important food groups represented …

lovely day for a ride too ..
