Heading north off Waterloo bridge coming up to the lights in the right lane past some buses. Some hivized idiot pulls out from between 2 buses on the left, blocking my lane. Emergency stop. Compounds the problem by panicking and stopping dead in the lane... Cue irate taxi behind me. He apologised at the lights at least. I pointed out he was lucky I was there to slow the taxi down.

Could this chap be described as a "nodder"? Being new to the forum, I'm not 100% sure of the definition...

can they pull you over for doing ´look mum no hands´ ?

Yes, but it's a "should" not a "must" in the highway code, see rule 66

I swung by after work to see how steep it was; managed 2.20 with panniers which will have to do me since its full :(

Hello-

I have a pair of Bontrager road race shoes, size 42. Been worn for about 5hrs riding but they made my foot a bit sore. They then sat under the bed for a few months. Few scuffs on the sole and SPD cleats added, but otherwise in perfect condition.

Full review here

It turns out they were right about love it or hate it fit and I'm a hater. A shame as they're stiff, light and well ventilated. Don't buy these I've you've got wide feet like me!

I'd like £40 please.

I've fitted SPD cleats which I plan to hang onto but if you want them, add £10.

Collection from work (Gordon St nr Euston) or home (just off Walworth Rd SE5).

Cheers

Suggestions free standing solo tents apart from Hilleberg which are beyond my budget?

Coming back to the idea of a Hennessey to be honest but doubt there'll be enough trees where I'm headed.

A mate of mine who's well into mountain marathons swears Terra Nova tents: http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/Product_Type/Tents/Superlite_Tents

Maybe this one for a solo freestanding tent?

Vango Tempest 200. Taking minimal pegs & ditching the wee pole, it weighs in about 2.5kg; not too shabby if you;re sharing. Though you have to be happy being cosy (I've only shared with the mrs) and at 5'9" I can't sit up straight. Still happy with it after 3 tours in the last few years with it; about 5 weeks total.

Definitely get a one with a porch- how else will you brew up when it's pissing down?

Or just get more members

I'll join. I'm an occasional lurker here finally signing up. I'm just back from touring in the Highlands. Sadly the first week was before the challenge started but I've still got 799 points...
