Second dibs to you (1st dibs DM'd)

One bike to rule them all.

The Arkose of the Covenant is for sale. Yours for £250.

Always been slightly too big for me, but not been too big an issue apart from in some CX races but that's more likely rider error...

Done road, gravel, trails, 'cross, the lot. Even Ronde Van Calderdale (smallest gear was 36-28 then, whoops).

Only ever taken a tumble on it in CX races and it's been to P&L since it last hit the (muddy) deck. That Stayer sticker on the top tube is ornamental to cover the glue I couldn't get off after I removed the Evans Cycles size sticker...

Any Qs or offers / calls that I am way out on price, HMU.

Collection from Herne Hill Velodrome or round the corner from Tottenham Court Road WC1.

How was Canada Heights last week? Some good pics.

Cheers Andy, will feed back to Organiser (he's not on here afaik).

Senior Men was brutal, not having the hurdles changed the complection of it on that top straight after the woods.

The acornpocalypse down by dead man's corner was carnage.

And you!

Hell of a ride from @fredtc

First 'proper' race in about 3 and a half years yesterday at LXL Round 2 at Pippingford Manor.

Finished, wasn't last, somehow binned it into the gravel towards end of the first lap after miscalculating the dip after the climb out of the woods, but got away with fairly superficial wounds compared to track crashes I've had.

Great race and great stewarding/organising by Crawley Wheelers.

And @leggy_blonde got a podium too!

F.U.N.

Looking forward to Palace next week.

He said WVA was "playing with [everyone's] balls" and "taking the piss".

Tongue firmly in cheek though.

Brandon McNulty looks like an NPC from GTA.

The real question is whether to bin some riders off of the fantasy team.

McEwen was doing his nut about it when he was commentating.

Given the new Battle Against The Drop thing, this Bettiol move has pure Steve Lomas at Anfield vibes (for the football fans)...

In the process of doing my second Laka claim in two months (first was for a dinged helmet), for my latest HHV spill. I switched to them after Bikmo refused to payout in Oct 2020 due to a technicality about my bike not being stored at home 51% of the time (it lives in a container at HHV).

Will update.

Here was me thinking 1, 2, 3, 4 would cut it lol

My pleasure, was a great day! Great set of pics here - looking forward to the 2023 edition already.

This is a vibe.

Final email has gone out to those who signed up on the g-form. If you haven't had it for whatever reason, DM me.

I am closing the sign-up at 9pm today so if you want in, get registered via the links above.

Price drops on stems and avids

What @cozey said, great piece. Etape was the book that got me into cycling. Terrible news.

Any and all bikes!

Pretty sure people have done it on tandems, fixed, trikes, pub bikes, beaters, etc for years. I know one of the BCC lot did it with a massive speaker on the front once.

If you are on the mailing list you should have received the latest update

For posterity:

Confirm your attendance for the return of the Cobblemonster on Sunday 10 April!
Sunday 10 April is fast approaching and we need you to please confirm your attendance.

Some keen-eyed subscribers from previous editions of Cobblemonster noticed that they couldn't get a confirmation of their attendance for this year's resumption event... The gremlins will be tamed in 2023!

For now, please can all riders who plan to attend complete this short google form, so that we know how many of you to expect on the day.

Participants will meet on Sunday 10 April at Brixton Cycles. After you've ridden the bone-shaking cobbles, lung-bursting hills, and taken a lap at Herne Hill Velodrome* you can watch the Amstel Gold Race on the big screen at HHV and enjoy some refreshments courtesy of Jan's Cafe and Captain Cliff's famous jerk.

And, of course, Cobblemonster wouldn't be complete without our famous raffle with amazing star prizes; full details to come next week with all the information you will need before the big day.

Confirm your attendance

We salute you!

Don't forget to donate
It will save a lot of time on the day if you donate via the Evelina London Children's Charity page before you get to Brixton Cycles. We will also have gift aid forms available there for those who forget.

Evelina London Children's Hospital continues as our chosen charity and we aim to raise as much money as we can to support their amazing work.

Route
Our intrepid organising team have checked the route and will let you know the final parcours next week as part of our final checklist email, including all the bone-shaking cobbled sections and lung-bursting hills.

We'll also give you a cue-sheet, just in case.
