  • about 6 and half miles, i think

  • Make that 7.

  • you're doing it wrong, if you take really tight lines you can shave off half a mile.

  • ...i did 4 laps geared yesterday: 2nd lap in approx. 19 minutes, 3rd lap 22 minutes, 4th lap just enjoyed meself.
    Havent ridden geared for a while....fkcing flew down everything!! and free-wheeling was scary....
    Later I did 2.5 slow fixed laps.

  • its 6.7 miles on the road.

  • I thought it was 7.25 or 7.5mi? Oh well..

  • Yeah, Bikely

    agrees - 6.7

  • 32k then..

  • Pedometer also estimates it at 6.7

  • manged a 20.58 lap today, could go a bit quicker as there was a bit of a headwind and i had to stop at 2 of the roundabouts, could probably take 30-40 seconds off but down to 19min! no way. thats shaved leg and pain territory, and possibly drugs.

  • good going. i'm still hovering arounf the 24 minute mark, but then i am built like a man.

    my cock adds 2 minutes on it's own

  • i left my cock at home to lessen the wind resistance, fitted a new carbon seatpost which probably helped.

  • did you previously have the standard condor post? not the bling Thomson?

  • he did.

    I've nabbed it (the condor one)

    although I'm scared my fatness might break it..

    never trusted carbon

  • the standard pista post isn't carbon, you can upgrade to carbon for 20 quid, or go for the alu Thomson for 60 quid..

    guess he had the carbon upgrade

  • you can buy thomson's for £45, the condor one isn't actually carbon but 'composite' with a carbon wrap it's made by Token and is rebadged for lot's of manufacturers it's a nice post though.
    it's perfectly acceptable to supply your own bit's just check they take some money off, (i brought mine without a saddle as i had a brooks).

    my new post is an easton ec-90 it's all carbon even the clamp! thankfully the bolt is made of metal.

    if i were you i would buy a thomson yourself or get the condor carbon.

  • RPM he did.

    If they work under me.. you will have nowt to worry bowt.

  • hippy, you're not fat..

  • shhhh... you'll blow my cover..

  • lpg hippy, you're not fat..

    AH HA HAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i think the term is cuddly?
    (not my opinion i don't wish to get all aiden-hippy wiv you in a homosex way)

  • Sure sure sure.. that's not what you were saying last night anyway..

  • not with his mouth full anyaway ...

  • I never really go above 13 stone. but have the saddle pushed right back and the clamp might get some abuse. I'm sure the composite/carbon wrap will be fine.

  • all i said was 'chase-me chase-me' but you were too slow, i blame the bike.
