Yep, downloaded strava this afternoon.
Set it up when I left todays workplace and let it run whilst I drove home - 50 mins etc, etc.
No elevations though. (Non existent in East Anglia)
Looks good, simple to use etc.

Great, thanks for that.

Will download and give it a try.

Greetings of The Season

Might have a bash at this - more for motivation than the glory.

I don't have a Garmin etc.

Are there any app for a smartphone (got HTC Desire) that will let me track/map/record etc?

Cheers

Hi Johnboy

I'm in KL - and the founder and only lfgss member of the Kings Lynn chapter! Welcome.

Was that your fixed I spotted parked outside the Lloyds Bank in the Market Place yesterday afternoon (Friday 4)?
(Purple frame, white rims I think)

I do ride fixed sometimes 1953 Claud Butler Lime Green, blue mudguards, but also geared 1982
white Holdsworth, sometimes 1924 black (they were all black) Sunbeam, 'speaks in whisper' red alloy framed Ambrosio.

What are you doing here for 1 year, and where are you staying?

Rides out early on most Sunday mornings, sometimes night ride.

Hi Clubman.

You are setting the bar high as 'something to aspire to'.

I've a 1924 Sunbeam, 2 speed epi-cyclic(?) gears (in the chainwheel), oil bath chain case.

My first ride out was a 40 miler around some of the lanes of North Norfolk. At the end I felt equal as if I had ridden 40 on the Holdsworth.

Good luck to you in your quest.

Well Hello HotPro, and thanks for your reply to my request.
I was unable to PM you.
I already had a response from another LFGSS forum member and he has asked the e bay seller, (in German language of course) about shipping.
The response was that the seller will not ship outside of Germany, let alone to England.
So, this may be a matter of tax or similar, but now we will never know the actual reason.
Many, many thanks for your reply to my request for help.
If I can help you anytime, please contact me.
Kind Regards.

Firstly, this is not a scam, hoax or ruse, but an honest request for help to get an e bay item back from Germany.

Basically, the item that I want comes up in the UK very infrequently and new pattern items are horrendously expensive.

The guy selling the item has specifically stated that he will not ship to the UK. Don't know why. He does not give a reason.

So, I'm looking for somebody in Germany, France, Holland, Denmark etc to be the receiving address if I win (hopefully) the item.

I will bid and pay for the item, but would like to use your address for him to ship to.

Then depending on the shipping cost from you to me in the UK, I can paypal or BACS direct transfer this to you.

If somebody can help, please PM me and we can discuss.

Auction ends on Saturday, so I have a few days to sort out.

Thanks.

hi Guys.

I'm going down on Saturday from Kings Lynn.
Got to drive into Cambridge station as track engineering work means a bus from Ely to Cambridge grrrrr.
then track engineering work Cambridge to Bishops Stortford and another bus means going into Kings Cross.

So, result is 09.20 from Cambridge to Kings Cross, arriving 10.09.

Anyone joining up?

Anyone from Cambridge going on Saturday?

I'm catching the 09.20 train non stop to Kings Cross.

(got to drive into Cambridge as track engineering works at Ely means a bus - can't take bike on the bus, well I could try!)

Give me a shout.

I'll be in Tweed with a Claud Butler.

Nice bike, not so nice price.

I think a list may be in order!

1. Lord Boogington-Smythe (all over it like a fine Dundee marmalade)

2. dr nosh

Hooray - In at no. 310

Correct. That is Sean.
He and a mate of mine (Tony W) organise the ride.
Got themselves a spot on local radio (BBC Radio Lancs?) last year for about 15 mins to promote the ride. Had to listen to it on iplayer.
I'm hoping to be there on the Holdsworth.

Here's one for the northern lads:

2nd year running, includes Nick o Pendle (a challenging hill).

Modelled on the idea of a L'Eroica sportif.

Ideally use a steel, pre-STI machine

Plenty of info, maps, previous year write ups, photographs etc.

Registration is a 30-45 minute period on the 26th. Don't think we can do it as a group, probably some sort of limit on number of tickets per person, not been announced yet. We need to be organised and all get some tickets. Probably best for people to send reminder texts/phone calls on the day, whip up some activity!

Norfolk Chapter - Kings Lynn Calling.....

I'll be travelling by train to either Liverpool Street or Kings Cross. Probably solo like Tweed Run 2009 and 2010. I'll be the chap in a tweed jacket with a bike. Look out for me chaps.

By the way, I think that registration is probably open for longer, BUT all the places (400) for Tweed Run 2010 went in 45 mins.

Toodle Pip.

Why, Thank you Sir.

Makes the bag more useful than a 2 handled carrier bag. Also, its a conversation starter!

I searched for ages to find that 'long' pump, and success a NOS one turned up.

Also, notice the machined 'flute' down the Shimano #600 crank, and leather covered saddle to match leather handlegrips...?

Yeah, the goody bag that came with your registration pack! You know, the cotton bag with bits and bats in side. Can't actually remember what was in there now, but I'm still using the bag for nipping to the off licence!

My cotton bag is now a musette!!

(Key: Remove 2 handles, sew together, refix to bag to make over the shoulder loop.)

Got one here that I'm not using.

pm me with your e mail address, and I'll mail a picture to you.

@Steves

Thats a really fantastic blog. I've just read right through whilst supping a cup of rosie lee.

Inspirational.

Foiled, or is that Failed (?) by the weather.

East Anglia was covered in ice and additionally freezing fog around the Fens area.

Had a shopping list of bits needed for Current Project all ready!

Will be at the next one.

Its in the diary.

Got the 'heads up' from Spudger on this.

Also saw it on www.bikejumble.co.uk. Now that a quirky (but good information) website.

Ivanskavinsky.

What route did you take?
The A10 and A149 are not the most interesting nor bike friendly roads.
I'm in Kings Lynn.

Yea.
I'm in Kings Lynn.
If you come up this way on the train and get out to the coast as per Peter Carter's suggestion give me a shout.
I'll provide some local knowledge etc, etc.
Cheers.

Check your link. It no work say the Man from Delmonte.

Peter Sarstedt - Well I was 12 when that was hit and a favourite. Have not heard that for years. Wonderful.

Tweeding today - Keeping up appearances!

Went out for 24 mile ride out on the Claud B, fixed. Just had to wear grey flannel plus two's, brouges, waistcoat. Going to have to make this a Saturday tradition.
