No more 3L 🙁

Has anyone got a gpx of the routes you rode , gutted as couldnt make it but may try and get up there later in the year and see if the wifey fancies making a weekend of it 🙂

Some amazing pics, keep em coming and whens the next adventure Ton ?

Looks rubbish .. so glad i couldnt make it now 😉

Excellent and yep , already looked at balance bikes , islabike and frog bikes and trailers to tow her around in 🙂 .. her dad isnt gonna get a look in where cycling is concerned 😉

Interesting reading, start a new job on monday which could be a 14 mile canal towpath commute,but through some rough areas of Birmingham 🙁 ….. looking at maybe 2-3 times a week once ive settled in, may build a SS crosser for it 🙂 .. any excuse

That carrera CX looks great for the money … ill put it on my new job commuter list of bikes 🙂

I have a snapped in half twefty post here ur welcome to have the bolts etc

Somewhere hilly ? .. looks nice though 🙂

Im pretty sure its the 520`s as looking at them myself

Theres a few C2C routes , ive just done the 170 mile way of the roses coast to coast over 3 days carrying my gear,99/99% on-road so doable on a road bike,depending on fitness it could be done in a day but not by me !

Way of the roses route last week

Have to agree with deepreddave ,seems a lot of negative comments aimed towards a little thank you for the moms of the world ? … it is commercial crap i agree, but its just a thank you

Surely a little appreciation isnt a lot to ask ?
My mom passed away 6 yrs ago but ive still been up the crem today with flowers and to say hello etc

Follow on the previous offer, just been told they aren’t going through the agency anymore , instead have offered me a fixed 9 month contract on more money .. 🙂

As my previous post doing the c2c way of the roses, i needed to get back to Birmingham from up norf, instead of someone waiting and driving up there to get me, i did a one way car rental with enterprise and drove myself home and dropped the car off next day 🙂 .. wasnt cheap but easier than 3 trains home !

Have a brand new wanga frame sitting here and contemplating the same ! , drops, short stem bb7s etc

Have only commuted now and then as its 25 odd miles each way and its a very physical job which normally leaves me filthy dirty and knackered so after that i dont fancy riding home, this is half the distance so should be ok 🙂

Thanks for all the comments , gonna phone tomorrow and accept it 🙂
Have been in this job for over 3 years and it has ruined me, totally soul destroying and i dislike alot of the people that work there , so time for a change me thinks , half the commute, still 12 miles, 2k more and its doable on my bike now and then , which is another bonus 🙂
Edit : could be the perfect excuse to build a SS crosser for the canal commute !

So So sorry to hear this, stay strong for the wife

I thought STW was the same as asking google 🙂

A few weeks old , bought a new voodoo wanga from ebay, not built it up yet

Ive just done the way of the roses c2c and thats 170 miles in 3 days , carrying all my gear etc

My Arkose 3 did a great job of carrying me and all my gear around the way of the roses this week, cracking dual purpose bike

Turkish embassy website only , we went last year at 20 usd each, great service and instant

Thanks 🙂

Stooo , thats a nice offer for someone 🙂
Great people on here

I have a brand new pair of schwalbe marathon plus 26×1.5 if interested ?

A pathetic 145 miles for me this month, my heads not in the game this month after 2 interviews and 2 rejections, just not feeling it 🙁

I did a bit of a touring/bikepacking last year on my mtb using frame bag (home made) and seat pack … worked ok

this year im going for panniers on the crosser as its further and flatter so should be alot quicker !

Ive just got back from 40 miles on the road bike and yep was miserable to say the least , wind rain and even more rain 🙁

How’s your panniers supposed to fit to that ??

Spill the beans Ton 🙂

99% of my riding is on my own, just prefer it that way
my pace , my route
Billy no mates I am 🙁

Dare i ask what that is in the pic ? ….. not the penny !

I have a brand new pair of marathon plus in 26 x 1.5 for £40 if interested ?

I may be able to take part in this for the month of march
Doing the way of the roses the first week of march so thats 170 miles in 3 days 🙂

Girvins , loved em …… even the english copies which were called quasars !
and Brahma bars 🙂 …. so very 80`s

My carrot cake 🙂

Had mine come saturday, just drinking a bottle of the berry one as i type this 🙂
