Nitefighter is de rigueur this season

“Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

there was a thread on here last month called “Best portable phone charger?” Usual recommendation is an Anker from Amazon

And the whole two bike spaces per train can’t be booked in advance…

I got last year’s Team Cannondale Gabba long sleeve for £80

the proper word for a bread roll

Clothing fits me fine too. As above, look for the 520 and 700 range (rather than the 500 range). Look in the ski/snowboard section too.

But the point is that there are multiple terms in addition to the ‘industry term’ ‘gravel bike’.

‘Gnarmac’ is the gravel counterpoint to ‘gnarpoon’

Saw his facebook/twitter reply earlier. Although something significant is certainly lost in the auto google translate, he didn’t seem that apologetic

and WTF is wrong with shoes?!

The bawbag ned who decided to stove in the main door of our tenement yesterday evening. Still raging has we’d had a new door/entry system a month ago

And the angle of the levers? Is that comfortable?

Torn it last year, although not all the way through. Still had a strand hanging on. It just took time to heal, about 6 months.

Physiotherapy involved the Physio isolating it and doing this press/rub thingy with a firm finger – that had the sweat p1ssing off me for some reason. And suggesting strengthening exercises for home – balancing on one leg, controlled lunges

Not what you want to hear – take it back to Halfords

In that case, (hopefully you can cycle with your bag to) Kailzie Bunkhouse near Glentress. Do Glentress, Inners, and the natural trails around Tweed Valley, Golfie, etc

The airport is very close to the city centre. Pentland Hills are nearest. Search for Scotroutes’ map.
If wanting a bit more but still using the city centre as a base: over the Pentlands (or easier via the road) to Glentress.

I’ve been into a store for a look at these. I recall the 700 has laser cut leg seams or something and is generally posher. Both versions are great for the price.

I have to admit publically, looking at them I had a sudden realisation that I have turned into a roadie tart after buying the road bike just 9 months ago. Despite them being superb for the money I didn’t buy either as the BTwwin logo was too big and/or wasn’t Rapha or Castelli. There, I said it

did you see the PSA earlier? They are cheaper on PX than on OO

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, just in case. Maybe keep a beaker of water by your bed

My brother and I used to insist on, and receive, a ‘young smoker’ selection box at xmas. Chocolate fags, pipe and matches, which we would puff on/eat on xmas morning

After putting in ebay alerts, I now have a replenished collection of Tony reflectors, Kellogs cockerel reflectors and Tony stickers

I wanted one well before 18 but waited til 20 to be sure of what I wanted. Now 41 and still like it, and am only now currently planning my second

there are various ways to retain the zero, as above. But it is stripped once one opens the file again in excel – one might assume that IR people will be opening the file in excel (and stripping the zero). True, they might not be using excel but we can’t be sure

‘0851274
edit – gah, that doesn’t work either

I just use the reset/clear option on Dakota prior to each ride. I think I ran into a problem with daily auto archive when my ride straddled midnight and it started a new, second one from 00:01.

Didn’t they cover ‘White Lines’?

I am now having serious doubts about my Planet-X merino socks with the champ stripes.

Are some of you sniffing at the >1cm of unearned stripes? I had previously thought them acceptable but wouldn’t go as far as them on a jersey.

This is a 100% serious question – I’m only 6 months in being a roadie

Love this on the cycling news feed:

16:50:18 CEST
And Quintana attacks. Porte cracks and Thomas takes over.

16:50:42 CEST
Thomas has enough to bring back Quintana. Instantly.

The link only works for you as it links to your order. Afraid everyone else can’t log in as you to see it

Schwalbe City Jet are pretty puncture-proof and dirt cheap if you want to experiment

Margarine or butter also works.

yes

Potty mouth

I get them periodically in shoulder or lower back. Once with shoulder and once with back had to call 999 to move me off the floor (with morphine and diazepam, which was nice).

Not found anything to aid recovery other than time and muscle relaxant drugs to ease the pressure – prescription strength hydrocodine and then later normal ibuprofen.

Once recovered, core strength pilates

Has florence turned into miranda with all that galloping around?
I’m off to bed

Exactly this

rolling resistance reviews[/url]

Michelin Pro 4 Service Course aren’t the best on that review but are currently v cheap at Decathlon (but 25 actually come up as 27)

DO NOT ADD THE FISH NEXT WEEK. The tank will not be cycled until around a month

alpkit stove and their ti pots

From Carlisle, follow the ‘Chase the Sun’ ride route?

32T chainring, SLX mech, and 40T expander. Was concerned about the chainline and jump to 42T. Adding the 40T I didn’t even have to re-index the gears, just a few extra turns of the b screw

this from ebay seems very good, very thick. Just doing a frame with is now as it happens

edit, it is 3M 8561 type. 0.36mm
