sorry was on a mobile before!

Riding fixed? I know Rob from the Cat will be.

Are you riding? What's your name? Say hi at the H.Q. No I'm riding gears, gonna put my tri bars "up" Friday after the club ten Thursday night, will take a road bike out as a back up, fixed for 12 hours, bugger that!!!!

Will my Garmin Edge 500 last 12 hours????

Doubt it! you could store a store a power pack on your top tube and plug it in though!

I'm pretty convinced mine will. Will be gutted if it goes!

I get 14 hours out of mine regularly.

I'll grab my partners Edge 200 and use that if mine dies!

New iO?

Could he not find a bigger jockey wheel?

New iO?

New last year, maybe. Looks like a regular Io Rio unless you've spotted some subtle difference.

My ruler says 48.5% open area for the Io Rio, so comfortably CTT legal. Maybe you should buy one to test :)

Have a nice day out on the bike tomorrow, @umop3pisdn

I'm sorry to hear that Sam's fears for the Kent 12 were correct - I've just heard that it has been cancelled.

I'm sure we all wish umop3pisden success tomorrow.

Thanks both

What number are you off?

46

See you there Andy, all the best.

You too chief

Good luck @umop3pisdn

And may your gooch hold strong!

Hope Andy's having a good ride.

I did the Chelmer CC Spoco 25 this morning. It was horrible.

Got off to a bad start by forgetting my Garmin, disc wheel pump adapter and chamois cream. Felt like my legs had nothing in them towards the end of the second lap, and I could really tell I'd forgotten my chamois cream, so I decided I was going to stop. I'd nearly caught my minute man by the end of the first lap, and by the end of the second he was out of sight again. I lost too much speed on the uphill drags, and the downhills were too twisty to get it back.

As I approached the S/F I thought about @umop3pisdn riding for 12 hours, canvassing for an 'unelectable' party on polling day, and the fact that I'd not got up at 6 for nothing, and carried on. Ended up with 1:05:09 which is actually my second best 25 time out of four. So not that enjoyable but could have been a lot worse and I'm quite pleased that I carried on.

What course was that on? Some nice spoco courses around there.
Good work.

Cheers. It was on E83/25B in the end, their third choice, after roadworks hampered the E9 and E11 courses they wanted to do.

Nice road there, better then the E9 anyway, that road is grim.
