    Same loads travel pull nearly to bar but are perfect stoppers. I’ve just learnt to embrace their feel.

    Go for layers and a goretex shell outer. I have a good Gore gortex one. Keeps core warm and breaths well. Worked fine in Atlas mountains last week and in South Africa. Its more a function of layers underneath. If its really warm then I just get wet and dont bother or just have a base layer underneath. Winter in UK then layer up and be prepared to stop and take some off.

    Put a good boot on and use your foot. Wedge the tyre on the floor and push the wheel away from you. Its easy whilst maintaining the edge of your boot on the tyre. Works a dream, haven’t used tyre leavers for ages. Works on road and MTB. I have carbon rims on both and both tubeless.

    sweetened almond milk plus add what you want. I think its the hydration affect I get most benefit from. Try to include some protein for recovery

    >44:06 @ 71kg. Averaged 322ish watts which works out about 4.53w/kg.</span>> Outstanding well done you smashed it. weathers shit here, maybe get put tomorrow. But I only need 800m for the tron bike :-D LoL

    You need to be brave at the bottom I think this is key to climbing this one, I was holding 4.0w/kg for most of the way. Towards the top I was holding 3.8 then push for home! FTP 295, 69kg and 59 years young, VAM 1200 on strava.

    You need to aim for 36 mins for KoM though LoL

    51:47 average 264w, wasn’t rested think I can do a little better but good first attempt. Although its still under construction the route mimics the real one quite well I think for bends, layout and steepness. Its training after all, I like the direction Zwift is going in.

    These have been brilliant, 9 hours play time and comfy for road or MTB. I got these for £40. I like the way the buds stay in the ear and the wires tuck away back in the neck bit.  https://www.skullcandy.co.uk/earbuds/wireless-earbuds/METHODBT.html?cgid=1210&color=Black%2FGray#xCPcoaH9BtDMCuXI.97

    Im sure express dosent take up 20GB maybe 20MB or more likely 200kB. Its just a connection ap.

    Had you bought a unit with Bluetooth it would pair with your tablet. Your touring is basically a 800 and needs a USB connection to transfer rides etc and update its firmware.

    Yes it can be, but it can still be controlled by diet

    besides I don’t care they know my data, nothing of interest and I have nothing to hide. The reaction seems to be no more than paranoia. Ive yet to see a convincing argument that such data is a threat to me? I shop at wiggle ( a lot) OMG :-)

    A fair way to split is to base it on a ‘per share basis’.

    Costs of selling split 50-50, that’s fair. A joint cost.

    Based on the original cost of the house you divide the original cost of the house up based on your input. So on a 100k house (including the buying fees etc) she put in 10k, you put in 5k. That’s 10% for her 5% for you.

    After you sell the house you divide the final capital amount by 15, you get 5 shares she gets 10.

    You didn’t mention who paid the mortgage. If you paid equally then no need for further adjustment. If you paid it all then you could rightly add some adjustment to your share.

    Its not about winning its about a fair financial settlement especially in such a short marriage. This method is at least transparent and open. Suggesting 50:50 or 2-1 etc has no legal basis. The wording is ‘a financial settlement that both parties agree to’. Try to have an amicable split it will help you and her heal and move on.

    Nope. Its not all drivers that need retests and extra training. It some drivers.

    A ban should mean a ban on the topping up system. We have a huge number of drivers banned several times over and still driving. Increase penalties for bad driving, without insurance, MOT etc. And I mean increase significantly.

    43 years driving and Ive been rear ended twice, only accidents. Do I need more training and resits of exam? Don’t think so.

    Punishments should be for those that break the regulations/law. In most, all, cases the people that commit the crimes are the very ones that are least likely turn up for tests or training. Such as driving without a licence, drink driving.

    +1 for garmin vector pedals. No hassle to change bikes. Accurate enough for us mere mortals ;-)

    RAC basic cover – never needed it for years until I had a crash. They were very good and sorted everything. I’d not go for the more expensive cover option, just need the option to call International Rescue when you need them :-)

    Your fine. I’ve mountain biked for last 18 years with pacemaker. If your doc says your fine, your fine. Your maybe less fit hence the chest issues. Life’s too short for self diagnosing. What’s certain if you don’t keep fit you will have issues.

    I suspect like most people I use a summer sox inside a winter one. I never found defrosters cold, in fact they can get too hot in less than wintery conditions. Two soxs might be the answer.

    <Worth a read that, I’ve been thinking about starting a regular dose of vitamin D>

    why not just get it from diet and sunshine?

    oily fish – such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel and fresh tuna
    red meat
    liver
    egg yolks
    fortified foods – such as most fat spreads and some breakfast cereals

    there are plenty of other sources

    https://www.nhs.uk/news/2011/05May/Documents/BtH_supplements.pdf

    In 2009 the UK market for dietary supplements and vitamins was worth more than £670 million.

    Bottom line the vitamin/supplement market is huge. Most of us only need a balanced diet. Some very specific groups can benefit. The healthcare industry has a vested interest in developing its market and making profits.

    You only need HRM in A class. Your placing is based on class. I’m on tacx vortex to. Strange result reference your time. I expect they will correct it? It’s an error.

    Its a contract because you opt in or out. You can even make a verbal contract, no need to sign anything. If you do a lot of contract you learn to be careful not to commit yourself during discussions. But that’s dancing on a pin head. At another level its a social contract between you and the state. I’d also direct you to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the social contract between state and people and how to establish a political and social community for the philosophical argument.

    <Even to multi-millionaires ?>

    yes

    They paid they get what their owed. Its a contract. It was never a scheme that said if you earn over X amount you get nothing back. You opt out you get nothing.

    about 0.05 difference

    Your tyre pressure will have more affect, run them tubeless and low @20psi and you might be surprised at what a little extra grip can do in terms of speed

    Key is to get more than one quote. Ideally three and go from there.
