  • Yeah no worries really, few niggles, but nothing too bad, I stuck a new saddle on the bike Thursday which was hight risk but after my 400 I didn't want to use the same one again. It worked out well though fortunately.

    Jim and I are getting to be experts in not rushing round and finishing comfortably these days.

  • I ran a brand new saddle too (like, not even a commute on it :S) and different position because I was too lazy to adjust it (and too stupid to work out I needed a shorter stem due to the new saddle). At least I have the definitive answer on which saddle I prefer but I've literally just now dug out a 120mm stem to swap onto the bike and god knows what the saddle angle should be but I'm too scared to adjust the funky split suspension seatpost thingie.

    I like the not rushing thing. I did get a move on at the end coz the missus was nagging me about her 100k ride and dinner. Think I flew past quite a few towards the finish in very unaudaxlike style. Oh yeah, there was a roadie out in purple DHB kit on a nice, new carbon bike who was probably annoyed that I was wheel sucking him for a ways with like 4k to arrivee. He'll be really, really annoyed when he finds out he couldn't drop me even after I'd done 600k :D
