South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

I did notice that in the DD Dan, I was screaming at an average 18mph and the biggest meal I've ate were just half a sandwich (amongst mule bar and haribo sweetie).

lots of waters mind.

crap!!! Sorry to hear about this Reeen!!!! That is so not cool! Cant believe it was stolen from a coded area:-( Was there any cameras on it or around it?

Ed, it takes years and countless long rides to increase the ability of your muscles to store Glycogen. Its not generally achievable in one tour. Think you just noticed that the Dunwich route is flat! Anyway, lets take this to the appropriate thread.

^Nah, keep dropping science, I'm listening!

Maybe you can explain magnets while you're at it.

Very very flat indeed, my friend who was riding with me said "Ed, those hill are killer", I told him; "if you rode through Cumbria, then you'll know the true meaning of hill".

Look at 6pt, he barely eats anything when he rides.

Dunwich, there at back at 17.blah mph. Ate quite a lot this time: two rock cakes, a pack of wine gums, three egg mayonnaise sandwiches and three cheese sandwiches. drank 4 bottles worth of fluids, 1 was a carbo thing, and 1 coffee.
Oooh, and a fry up on the beach. Could have comfortably got there on one bottle and a cake, refuelling focus was for the ride home.

Dan baby, you got me hooked on those fast long distance tour.

Decided to go on a 260 miles tour to Cornwall next week.

exmouth exodus? or some initiative if your own?

Thats about what I used to eat when for 100mi when I first started them. I'd need a lot more than that for a 200 I think. I'm riding one in September...have a feeling I'll be towing a trailer full of pasta salad.

I remember my first run to Brighton. I ate a loaf of bread worth of sandwiches on the way. Now I don't really need to eat for 60-70mi rides although I am starving at the end of them. The fact you eat less with more miles is gradual but quite noticeable.

Reen...I'm actually feeling miserable for you. Fingers crossed one of us will spot it.

Gutted for reen, hope it returns soon! I'm out for tonight as I am cycling on mull :-)

In.

Come down Reeeeeen, I'll buy you a consolatory pint.

See you there south easty kids. :)

I don't understand. Are you back now? I thought that was weeks away. Hmm.

I'm going to call Rene tonight to confirm/sort some stuff out, but I'll probably be passing the recently constructed hack-ish bike thing his way so he's still mobile. does anyone have any suitable pedals I can stick on it?

I have brand new pedals and cages from my Orbea he can borrow.

I may also have some SPDs lying around that i dont use anymore... I will have a look tonight.

In. Anyone have a 16" neck and want any very snazzy shirts?

Whats snazzy Angus? What do you term snazzy?

What type of shirts are you talking?
Collared?
Colour?
Buttons?

Slim?

(not really interested, just curious)

How much? How many you flogging? What colours?

Maybe instead of beers, we should feed Matt Energy gels :-D

Just seen Balki, the rumours are true.
