want me to post up an Endomondo thread and you can watch the live progress of the evenings ride as a little red line going round the map!

what better way to spend a night in than that!

looks like a love in, will be there …..x

All you need to know is in the last illustrated laughing square!

here you go 😆

I took a drill to my frame… will I die?

only if you put a stealth reverb in there…….* 😉

catastrophic failure and impending doom are in your near future!** 😆

see you there for the fun.

*this statement may not be true
** this statement may also not be true

as usual

always room, come along for the fun

see you there, and don’t forget kids…

^^^ are you sure thats Gee 😕

amongst other things looks to have a lot of hair.

I agree tho, flat bars have always been best

night Enduro at QE could be a lot of fun.

it all pales into insignificance after the OGE video!
Awesome.
the racing has been good too.
Cav to win today 😀

it’s Lordswood not the Alps, you will be fine with just your Five 😉

possibly riding, possibly drinking, maybe both, maybe neither, all dependent on work etc, will let you know later on.

at least 1 bottle of Laphroaig and a log burner will be essential, potentially a collapsible windbreak too, very handy in the evenings 😉

see you there

I will be shepherding a load of Stargate ‘live role players’ in an underground bunker…

is that another euphemism for sessioning a workman? 😉

now now FM you know I don’t like to publish QE Enduro album pics on the internet 😉

i think it’s meant to be a session the bike park one?
but happy to do either dependent on what everyone wants to do.
see you there

Unfortunately I will be riding in the Alps on those dates.

I will definitely be there then 😉

and here is a little motivational picture now you have bought a new car

I’ll be there,
what more motivation could you need to come out in the rain 😆

that is amazing.

the orange stripes are there to stop Matt and I crashing into trees quite so regularly.

I think they will explode around here…..

and cause a wholesale destruction of Lordswood, the likes of which have not been seen for many a month……

see you there for the fun!

Knolly Endorphin would be my choice.
sub 30lbs with the xx build kit, so maybe a touch lighter with xx1?
great riding bikes.

should be there

don’t think i will be there either as work is getting in the way. will bring oodles of cash next week to make up for it. or may just pop up for a beer if i am back in time.
which means there is a big crash waiting for someone if both Matt and I are not there!

see you there Mr Champion!

HI,

I swapped from a set of mavics tyre & tube combo to a set of ultegras & tubeless Hutchinsion Fusion 3’s about 4 months ago,
I tried the Hutchinson Atoms as well but they come up really narrow when inflated so swapped back to the Fusions.

From my limited experience

1.the weight is about the same if you run harder wearing tyres/tubes for commuting/training purposes
2.they are heavier than light race slicks and race tubes.
3.they were a nightmare to get onto the rims, may just be this combination tho, one sealed first time, the other sealed after an hour
you do not need a lot of sealant either.
4.I haven’t had a single puncture in 4 months and i ride them rain or shine for comuting and training, everyday, approx 100-150 miles a week.
5.i run them at about 90psi so they are a little more comfy than my previous higher psi road combo and they do seem to roll very well.

Overall pretty pleased with them, the tubeless tyres on offer are pretty limited in choice but for everyday duties they seem to do the job well and anything that stops me changing a tyre my commute is very welcome.

that’s why i have been stocking up on the iron tablets!

sadly won’t be out tonight, have a great ride, should be nice and dry up there.
see you next week

Not there until Sun, but hopefully Richen987 will be setting up my drinks cabinet on Fri.

it’s all ready FM, except i can’t find that really wobbly chair that you had on the last camping trip, did you leave it at QE or do you have it?

more of a case of what i didn’t see, as another cyclist came sprinting round the corner on the pavement as I was waiting to cross the road and T-Boned me, which was a nice start to the day.
fortunately we were both unhurt.
i mentioned he may want to cycle on the road, he said it was too dangerous 😕 go figure.

and will be the ones sweating after putting up Basstronic & Richen987’s tent for them.

@Mattbee make sure you get no sweat in our tent and don’t forget to roll the carpet out properly and make sure the hat stand is on the right hand side not the left this time….

was a disaster last time….. 😆

popping down with Basstronic above, don’t have a broken ukelele tho 🙁
we should be easy to spot as we all ride those niche 26er bikes 🙂

i think you will need a bumper sticker for that….

remind me not to pop round on car wash Sunday!
see you later

I have had 3 sets of Oakleys from Iris Optical, they have been very good and helpful, they also have a store in London which matches there online prices if you are near there..
really good service from them and will be using them again.

Too nice

We averaged 7 mph this evening, there won’t be any records set
😀
It’s a good laugh with some good people, more than welcome
If the stars have aligned it may also be dry !

Every Thursday, 7 pm from the gas station at the end of cox ford road there is always a thread on here every week just pitch up
