    Wasn’t there that one guy that was found out driving the Rapha Feative 500?

    Just be sure to email him before you start any fixed wheel challenges. I once got a whole seasons worth of fixed points declined, lol.

    Yeah, that would do it too.

    I think the only sickies I've pulled in recent memory have been because the weather forecast was favourable for RRtY.

    Speaking of RRtY, I did my 200 for December yesterday. After a bumper 65 hour week of cheffing I kinda expected it to be hard, but, damn, it was really hard. Several times I had to get off the bike and just sit down on the floor. I ate and drank loads but had zero energy. Such a relaxing hobby.

    As Hippy said, it's pretty straight forward to use DIY's for RRtY. As long as you're not doing loops or using the same stretch of road over and over again, pretty much anything goes for a DIY. My winter route for RRtY is one big out and back (which happens to pass a Greggs 12 times).

    Best thing to do is try and batter out your 200 for the month as soon as possible each month. Nothing is more stressful than trying to complete a 200 on the very last day of the month when you're 10 months in. Trust me, I've been there.

    I would have to disagree and say that PDW are twice the price better. I have used a lot of guards and found that the PDW’s are the most round. Kinda like how less expensive chainrings are often manufactured to less of a tolerance. Means you can fit them under very little to no tension.

    The mounting hardware is also very good.

    I think there’s some sort of DT gusset on that Ingria.

    Cool bike.

    How does one re-true a fork?

    Nice write up, love it.

    200 starters is crazy. Definitely going to have to head down for an audax or two next year.
