Thanks TJ, explains much of what I witnessed daily during my grandfather’s last few weeks, brings it all back.

Missed the survey sadly

@whippersnapper – thermally broken or old school aluminium?

@muddyjames I presume old school aluminium. They are double glazed but pretty old. They are definitely broken, not sure about thermally broken 😉

Unless they’re aluminium

Ours are aluminium and are soaked as soon as it is cold. Got to keep on top of keeping them wiped otherwise mould builds up quickly. Would a PIV unit help with this?

House generally between 55 and 65 by the way.

It’s like the nations Nan has died

Sorry DanW, a small hijack. I’ve been looking for a Bath group ride for a while now, any tips most welcomed.

I recently did Torridon on my newish Hightower and it made me feel like a rock munching hero, and I’m a bit shit. So after extensive testing I’d say a Hightower. Before that I had a Tallboy LTC (also taken to Torridon) which was a better climber and lighter for putting on your shoulder but the new Hightower trump’s it for pointing down the way.

Super, ta. I’m in.

Quite fancy giving this a crack.

DrP, is there a link to the event, or did you mean follow the link to Zwift club page? Reading the thread I am not sure if I need to ask to be a member or not now.

Learning to drive Zwift is trickier than actually driving 🙂

Went for a IRL ride yesterday and I felt really strong on the climbs, the best I’ve felt on them for years

Same here, went out for a quick spin today and it was brilliant. Must get back on the sessions but I too have been advised a couple of weeks off the turbo due to shoulder pain. I have been enjoying the group ones so hope to join back soon.

Well done chaps, wanted to join you but my shoulder and neck are buggered to put it politely, hopefully not down to the turbo.

Glad I hadn’t done any of the other workouts before this morning, not sure I would have made it otherwise. Definitely feeling there’s a little more in the legs now though.

Yep, impressive numbers DrP 👍

Saturday Sneaky now ticked off, first week with all rides completed. A relatively pleasant spin compared to last night’s unicorn.

Cheers all, time for a beer (recovery shake I mean, possibly).

I was going to sneak Sneaky in tonight but was short on time so did the drills instead. Turns out I am not great at one legged cycling.

I’d be up for Friday but if consensus is Sunday I’ll cheer you all on

Sunday morning Ham Sandwich more digestible than imagined. Took a while for the legs to wake up but got there in the end.

Enjoy the roast unicorn

Is that the 6th? Sadly can’t make it but go for it. Happy to encourage from the sidelines. Can do Saturday otherwise.

Yep, that was tough. The sharks teeth were horrible. Good on you chaps for doing the complete plan…I am happy if I get the group ride and one other in.

I am now committed. Well for at least a couple of sessions a week. Benchmarking done. Not done anything like it before but instructions on the screen and how I should be feeling all seemed in line with what I was feeling. See you tomorrow.

Managed to squeeze in the final Tour de Zwift session and the benchmarking this evening so feeling positive!

That was a good idea. I finished the TdZ this evening but should have done the benchmarking too. Doubt I’ll have time before Thursday. Hey ho, some social training sessions will do me good.

…bump for lunchtime crowd

I have a spare ticket to see him in Bath tomorrow evening (17th) should anyone want to go.

Well, Oakley’s found would you believe it.

Whilst searching I also found a little black Cateye computer nearby should anyone have lost one.

timely thread, thanks. This weekend’s job was to sort out some attire for the Revival.

Probably won’t go as Binners though.

Shame also the race lost Nibali, not sure if he’d have done much but it would have been good to find out.

Mechanically brilliant….death by electronics.

Yep, proper good fun, really relaxed with stunning weather, riding the transition to stage 4 I felt I could have been down by the med. Finding stage 2 closed and seeing the helicopter and ambulance was slightly sobering, glad they are doing ok. I certainly hope to be back next year.

My grandad had a two tone nissan laurel, great car, it spoke to you and everything, as did my uncle. Both had a big laurel bush in their garden. True story.

Still, yanny is the correct answer.

Chuffed. Not only could the weather not have been better and my 28 year old Kona being faultless but I got inside 10 hours by 2 mins 30. Everyone friendly too and the atmosphere watching riders coming at the end was ace. Cracking day.

final preparations hampered by a cold, I’ll polish the bike this weekend instead.

Anything by Amenra or Bad Breeding should do. Both brilliantly brutal, particularly live.

Nope Pinkster, not just you. And yes they are definitely annoying.

Perhaps the headset needs replacing. I have an old Kona which wandered off all over the place. A new headset helped enormously, still a bit of a handful but at least predictable now.

I’m in.

I’ll happily buy a place from you should they be transferrable. I’ve entered every year, and failed to get in every year.

I am Louise

Very well done. I will do this at some point…these threads are helping, or not.

If they make all the support vehicles electric they are going to have to make them noisier. It’s hard enough to hear all the electric vehicles whilst cycling round London and that is without a crowd cheering me on (or booing).
