I also did national relays the week before Bala which was fun, chaos, fast bike and run, chaotic swim due to last minute change to a tiny pond!
Would do again, would avoid drinking rum the night before.
Sadly a lad from our neighbour club Stockport tri died of a heart attack soon after being pulled out of the water. RIP. Apparently he hugged his team mate and smiled as he ran into the water so that’s not the worst way to go in my book and apparently the incident was well dealt with by the rescue boats, medics etc so hopefully all those involved weren’t too shaken. That aside I’d highly
Recommend this event as long as you aren’t in the men’s 40-50 open category

No really good pics but I did Bala tri last weekend which was fantastic, well worth a trip or a weekend away in north wales for next year.
Perfect swim in a lovely lake, good safety cover, cool clean water, great views when you took a breath! Started in 4 waves to spread us out nicely.
Bike was rolling not flat but fast, good on a tt bike, totally closed out and back course, again lovely views.
Run was then out and back on the closed road and pavement. Again nice views, good support at the turn in a campsite.
Wish I hadn’t rushed back and had stayed around for a paddle board and swim after.

You might have more luck on bmx race sales on Facebook? Fantastic bikes, my son has one

What’s the go to bib short for tall people please? I usually like endura long leg but the new pair I’ve got are totally different material, sizing has changed a bit and pad is different.
I’m 6’4 and 92kg but hoping to be a little lighter soon!

I have a short sleeve jersey and it’s been good, nice races fit and lasted well so far

I was out for a quick spin in the peaks today for some pre race openers and saw a guy on the factor with custom pink and green paint and 5 spokes, I thought I was over biked on my Speedmax! Didn’t get a pic but I think it was this?

I didn’t design it! But yeh you’d think so
I was mainly drawn to the colour

Dolan are advertising the new pre cursa including a lovely purple. Would make a nice winter trainer

What wheels/ hubs are you on there? I need some purple hubs for my purple monster
Nice build

Is it still brand x or equivalent for cheap droppers? Son wants one for riding back up at our local bike park

Hardly used, v nice brakes
£20+ post from Manchester

Holiday project for my kids is painting a deck each to hang in their room. Any tips on painting boards? Unlikely to be skated outside.
We’ll use spray primer for the base coat, then maybe their paint pens for detail? Clear lacquer spray to finish?

Good lad for writing that so accurately and realistically, hope he can move on in some way and get half on top of it at least
What happened to tarling today? No red

Would need posting to Manchester area or I can pick up if local.
Anything considered, just to try changing the set up on my disliked gravel bike!

Starts with a tt so they think Tarling is on for red jersey?

Would you stay in morzine itself so you can ride/ walk everywhere or outside and drive in when needed? I’ve no idea how big it is and what it’s like in summer

Summer holiday advice needed for next year- looking for a family holiday where me and the kids can ride Mtb- some blue, some green and a bit of harder stuff, uplift or lifts.
Nice pool, lakes, running trails and quiet road riding.
Drive from uk ferries.
Not bothered about night life, restaurants as long as we can get a pizza and there’s a shop.
Never been to alps or anywhere like that so keen to find the right place without lots of drama!

Have we done Pauline FP leaving ineos to join jumbo or whatever they are now to race road ie we had the former road world champ for 2 years, couldn’t find her any female team mates and couldn’t make a women’s team, whilst pissing millions on an average men’s team and creating a development team?

Clipped in and sometimes modified pedals for these guys for extra tightness. Spd with a small platform, carbon Mtb shoes which they occasionally snap in half doing starts!
R Beth is a machine, amazing evening for her

I think it’s a fantastic idea and had thought of doing similar, but lacked the funds!
Watch out for access rights to fields, any weird limits on how many times you can access the field, AONB obviously, and I’d avoid being overlooked by houses.
Lot of work to maintain a field but some can be outsourced quite cheaply. As some have said, avoiding your stuff getting pinched is the main job!

Wow that’s a find, that makes more sense now

Race recommendations for next year needed please! Was going to do Bolton 70.3 but it’s moved dates so we’ll be on holiday.

Done lakesman this year, not desperate to go back straight away.

Half iron/70.3, safe or even closed roads, 3hr max drive from Manchester or short flight. What am I missing? I’m uninspired so far!

Dreadful coverage, fantastic racing

Piddcock needs to move to red bull bora and get himself an epic 8! That twitchy pinarello isn’t helping

R Tom in action today on Mtb. Hoping for a quick teams call finish and a no drama race for sir tom
