Bump for Giro entry.

Lfgss league has been looking very crusty over spring season

That's mad, seven WC races in December?!

The gravel route is doable on 23mm and is at least as good scenery as the road (and probably less climbing)

South Circular to Catford

You could visit @amey !

Laner is alive and kicking, me and @Psy (mostly thanks to @Psy) met him for a couple in the ivy house this week!

If we'd accepted Hammer Series we wouldn't be here

Where's the orange stem ?!

Absolutely bonkers

Chapeau

Looks a pleasant, if undulating route, my parents live close by and most of it looks fairly pleasant.

Just off route is the super-instagrammable St Thomas Beckett Church just the other side of the military canal. Andyp is right, Winchelsea is probably worth a visit.

In the other direction out of Rye is Tillingham Wines if you fancy some slightly pricey English wine and food. Which would also help pay my salary :) as they are a customer. The view there is very good.

The Chartreuse north of Grenoble are all good. And pretty steep in places.

Otherwise the Vercors to the south are also amazing. Just search the thread or head to cycling-challenge.com for pre made routes in the area, or make your own. It's hard to go wrong!

I'm interested, and waiting for UAE beef to fully mature

I thought I'd change it up from pasta with polenta on a recent trip. Had to chuck it as I just couldn't get through it, the stuff really goes far...

In Italy the Knorr meal packs are actually really good. Available almost everywhere too I think. I was sceptical, but the minestrone one I had was pretty good, and I somewhat regret not buying a few more, especially the risotto ones. Then just add some veg/bread for a slap up one pot feast.

HoKe in "meerkat" position riding up Hessiers hill.

Last time I saw him he didn't recognise me so he's probably still none the wiser!

Congrats! On the ride and the engagement.

I was loving the instagram content, almost made me miss audax!

I'm pretty sure I took a similar route heading west to moutiers in 2014. After 3 cols I was desperate to follow the river but not die in the tunnel. I see ended up on what was the old cliff road but certainly not a legal route at the time 😂

Depends how early you're willing to get up for a train to get to an 8 or 9am start...

Also interested in carradicr panniers if and when the time comes 🦅

Yep, bags look good but they all need a "ride dumb, eat crap, bonk whenever" patch

I have some Sidi Dominators in that size I'd like to move on. I've barely worn them and in good knick - I just didn't get on with the shape. Can PM you some pics if you like. Sole is pretty stiff but they will take toe spikes. I really don't use them so I will give you a great deal :)

All the big guns are using veloviewer though? Sandbagger!

It was a long time ago, it seemed a strange process but like all bike shuttles which you think might never turn up in the god forsaken place you are directed to, it did and I don't recall too many issues. No doubt they've made it more difficult in the +10years since I did although it actually looks pretty simple according to that page!

Although less convenient, probably more expensive, and more time consuming, the Harwich -> hook of Holland ferry was easy with fully assembled touring bike.

Hard to say if the original chair enquiry is about JB's personal definition of "camping camping" or some other type one might expect to find on a London based cycling forum. Guess we'll have to wait to find out!

I took a lightweight "camping" chair with me on a recent "bike camping" tour and despite my previous disdain it was an was essential part of the trip and not super bulky. Although I don't think it would be great for those looking for back relief :(

It's like there's no real solution to fragile, supple race tires at low pressure over rough terrain ...
