Thursday Night - Hour of Power

Yup, me and Iain used to go to the pub, no so much a breather as an end to be honest.

^IIRC, you had a half time breather...

On the down side, as soon as I started hoofing it, the fucking creak returned from my left pedal. I've had a 3/8 wrench and extension on it to get the bastard out and grease it with no joy. It's going to have to be the blowtorch soon, but I am rather tremendously nervous about wafting one of those around my prime carbone.

remove crank first? :S

Suppose I could take it off, napalm the fucker then put it back on and try and undo it....sounds fraught with burnt fingers. Otherwise I'm looking at new peds and a new crank arm. Anyone got a LH dura-ace 7800 in 172.5?

Worst excuse ever for not attending this week, had to get my hair cut...

Next week fo' sho' tho'

My LH Primato creaks on stressing ( I know why ) I was told a some electrical tape around the tapers could help rather than a new Crank.

I will experiment over the weekend and see if I can fix it,
There is a creaks thread on here somewhere

Noticed last week that she feels very strongly about holding 6pt's wheel, so perhaps as you said, FC, it was unwise to get between them!

Orly?

First laps in the dark yesterday. Blustery but some quick ones.

Tooo many dopey people out though. A little peleton joined from the NE gate onto Parkway, right across the front of me while I was on the rivet at 25+ - not too bright.

Might give this week a miss or come out a bit later.

I just went back to the first page of this thread and do you guys still meet at the inner circle? if so why not the outer?

we still meet at the inner circle, but ride the outer. there are few places where 10+ people meeting roadside in RP don't cause a nuisance, the inner circle opposite york bridge is one of them. we had a few weeks of meeting at gloucester gate but it soon became apparent that it wasn't the best of ideas.

alright thanks, weather looks cloudy but fine so see everyone tomorrow

Just been out for 6 laps. Bit breezy out there.

See you guys 2mw lads!

I will spinning round around 2100hrs if I dont head up to Camden post work

so i probs won't be meeting at york bridge but will deff be cycling the outer circle with some non-forum friends i expect that they will be too slow to keep up with you lot and I should be a good friend and not race off, but say hi as you go past maybe I can keep my pull my friends up to 26

Can't remember the last time I got as pissed as last night. Might come out for a cheeky purge. Hopefully not ad nauseam.

as mentioned before, I'm out this week. engineering/obree talk, innit.

me and a friend are going to do a RP sesh tomorrow (Friday) at 17.30, meeting by the running track if anyone's around
have fun those who are riding today!

went out with hed3, disc and tt bars. had fun. after almost 20 months of riding the edwardes, this morning I decided the saddle is about 10mm too low. life is much better now :)

anyone else make it out?
I buggered up the lap marking so got no idea what the fast/slow ones were like. maybe strava will tell me.

I've noticed Strava seems to get a bit confused with laps of the park. Lots of averages way over 100 km/h.

There are loads of dud sections on strava right now. I blame the influx of people since the service went free. It's of little use until it gets tidied up; without any clean leaderboard/properly defined segments, might as well just stay on Garmin Connect.

Good work

I was out, but as predicted had to go slow to be nice to my friends finished with a 20 mph average snore!

I emailed Strava to request a refund as they don't mention on sign up that their advertised estimated power feature doesn't actually work outside USA unless you have a Garmin Edge.

Got an email back this morning saying "We're very sorry about that, would you like a Garmin Edge 500 for free so we can collect some barometric altimeter data in your area?"

insert appropriate meme here

I hope you stuck to your guns and told them to get stuffed.
