Here is the Der Spiegel article online http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/olympic-cyclist-kristina-vogel-left-paralyzed-by-june-accident-a-1227200.html

I got son insured through veygo which is part of Admiral, you could either choose the length of time or set it manually, and probably works out about the same price as others have quoted.

He’s now insured with Hastings Direct with a black box and is about 1.5k a year, hopefully it’ll go down after a year like his friends,

I bought a Tacx here from Wiggle and they have them for £328 http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tacx-vortex-smart-trainer/

Thanks w00dster , for the advise, I used to live in Worthing so I’m aware of how lumpy it is.

I’ve been trying to do longer rides and commutes during the week to get the fitness up and double spin classes and sweetspot training to try to improve the hill climbing so I can just spin up the hills and not wreck myself on every one.

You’re right about puke hill it’s horrible either up Church street or off-road but has got to be done, XD

I’m due to ride this with the BHF on Saturday 14th July , so praying for nice weather conditions. I’m feeling horribly undertrained for it really but a mate and I are riding from Birmingham to Milton Keynes on Saturday via the Canal which is about 75 miles.

I’m also signed up for the BHF Milton Keynes 50 miler off road the week before on 7th July so hoping what with riding fairly regularly will be enough although I’m a bit of a porker, so probably bitten off more than I can chew.

Phew that’s good news as just bought some for my road bike and then realised I’d already got some so was looking for something to put them onto, will try and come back and advise

I will and let you know, I’ve got a feeling it might be a bit tight, but those 28mm come up as 26mm allegedly

I Rode next to Graeme OBree on a group ride in Mallora when he was there with his son Euan at Easter a few years back, but was so star struck I didn’t say anything to him.

It’s been a disaster for me this week, I’ve been taking antibiotics for a chest infection and this has given me a voracious appetite and I’ve put on 2kg.

Will have to try harder to stop the slide, but feeling more energetic as the chest infection seems to have been cleared.

Yeah I had an awesome couple of weeks and it’s now plateau’d. I lost .7kg this week but still lost 20% of the weight I wanted.

I did a mad 3 hours and 13 Miles in last weeks snowy conditions on Sunday and been suffering with a chest infection which made spin class very tough.

Well done all

I’ve managed to lose 6.3 kg this week, I do have a shitload to lose but hoping to keep it up. I’ve been using MFP as others have suggested and doing 5 by 2

Yep

Signed up Rob, sorry about the 2 e-mails as didn’t see the singletrack username thingy,

Hmm

In my experience it is pretty slow , the average ping is 600ms and then it is massively affected by the weather and very expensive too. I would only consider it if I was massively desperate

Err I think that’s supposed to be in a Spanish Civil War livery

Plus Cav needs to get one first

the wahoo element is getting awesome reviews at the moment and it is only £250

have you thought of trying NLP Neuro linguistic programming, ive been on a free weekend in London with these guys and they’re awesome. they run them regularly , you give them a £30 cheque and they give it you back at the end of the weekend http://www.tobyandkatemccartney.com

Good website here for some healthy recipes https://www.nutriliving.com/recipes

Its the rotor not coming out of the callipers, gonna be a nightmare if get a puncture.

I got it to do the Cyclocross season on

Blimey , that must be a pain on the trails, is it the same for repairing a puncture, !!!!

probably not but live in hope, I’ve set up a dispute but not holding out much hope, ;0(

Is it too late to join, I did put my name down but don’t appear to be on the list, ;0)

I’m in too gotta lose 72 pounds by April as doing a training camp with mates in April in Majorca and don’t want to be tbe fatty at the back, ;0)

Sorry the stelvia should be to nipper99, ;0)

To the person looking for a sugar replacement, stelvia is naturally occuring, ;0)

Its on the BBC Red Button or on youtube on the ucichannel, you can watch the ones you missed on youtube too, ;0)

You could call them fire & help, ;0)

Gonna have been 10 weeks for my On-one 45650b bike since ordered on 8th March as not even built until 30th may. Very frustrating

8 weeks for an On-One 45650b on the cyclescheme, waiting on forks apparently. It better be the best bike I’ve ever ridden, ;0)

You could try a Nutribullet, which isn’t a blender but does full vegetables, as a sort of a smoothie and you can also add nuts and other healthy things. It gets good reviews on argos website http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1463237.htm

Not when I placed the order, said would be end of March fot pre-order but 5 weeks seems a bit excessive

If only I didn’t feel the need to vent a bit, ;0(

Sorry to hijack the thread, but just how long does it take to get forks in.

Ordered a On-one 456 650b on the cyclescheme and paid admin on 25th March and still waiting, ;0(

Could try here, really nice chalets and has a sauna and rideable to the trail http://www.barendholidayvillage.co.uk/

I did this kind of job for a year at a book resller but not Amazon when I had been out of work and desperate for nearly 18 months.

It was the hardest job I’ve ever done, you’re on your feet for 8 hours 20 mins lunch break and two 10 min breaks. Up and down ladders, carrying books and totes in dirty conditions for minimum wage and no sick pay.

And because you’re not on a living wage you get topped up by the government so its subsidised . If you don’t hit your target of 600 books then you get a warning. Soul destroying

I bought these pedals about 6 months ago and they do come with cleats, or mine did, well ahppy with them.

Look at the CBT Nuggets videos as they really help get the information across and get GNS 3 with a 2681 IOS. You can then practice doing configs whilst watching the videos.

Thanks that’s really helpful NEXT,;0)

Dead Jealous, Swinley is superb, gotta do the Labryinth, ;0)

;0)

Thanks Idave, you have 2nd sight,
