Signed up. 3down

Had this down to do last year but something else happened.

Could be up for this. Need to check what I'm supposed to be doing, etc.

Is there a GPS track for it?

Ok, ive had a beer. But i fancy this..

I just turned up and joined in. Even got free Vedett beer and chips on completion 2 years ago. Did it fixed on commuting gear 48/19 and on normal gators 23c. It was dry that year

I was thinking of doing it on a pomp with cx tyres. Maybe i will just turn up then. Cheers

http://www.stevenagectc.org.uk/summertime.php Doing this next week. Only 100 km this time With some people from work. After the steam ride last month , 100 km doesn't feel long enough. Anyone else doing this ?

quite fancied this.

Hello there. That pint of London pride I had in Oxford went down a treat.

They could have picked a nicer pub for the finish.sitting outside wasn't particularly nice. A few miles further up ducks hill we could have finished at the gate.

Hello. I was on the px kaffenback wearing the eskadel hat/gillet. I never made it to southall. Once I got to Uxbridge I started heading to ruislip on auto pilot. That was a good days ride Oxfordshire is a lovely county.. My biggest mileage by about 25 miles. Stevenage start of summertime special for me next.

Much the same as the rest of you are saying.

I started in Bembridge at about 08;30 . There were times when I didn't see another rider.

I was sure I'd missed signs . some of those climbs, bloody hell. . . went round in five and half hours. . wasn't expecting the gravel section. . Was on a 48/20 s/s macchiato . Only saw two other s/s bikes .

That was a very good ride and it was free.

Noticed they sell a cross bike as well as a reasonably expensive aero-tubed road bike while I was in the Surrey Quays one the other day: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/cyclo-cross-road-bike-id_8113183.html#anchor_ComponentProductFeatures

Website is pretty gash though.

On the other hand, their aerofit jerseys have a pretty nice fit (as worn by the FdJ team this year, not that it seems to have helped them win very much) http://www.decathlon.co.uk/aerofit-9-jersey-black-red-id_8237976.html

that cross bike was the one i was looking at , looks ok. would that be better than the Uncle john that On one make ?

i had a b'twin rock rider a few years back . around the £500 mark. seemed quite a good bike. Has anyone owned one of thier road bikes ?

They look ok. i seem to recall that Confids and also AG2R had decthlon bikes a few years ago.

any input welcome .

Cheers

Had a couple of weeks resting , now just doing short under 20 mile rides . seems ok for now.

Me and a chap from work plan to do the dun run. I follow on strava, he is'nt riding the bike and I fear that he will bottle it . Im up for this .

Im in..

mostly swearing under my breath about the speed and closeness of passing motorists

an old boy with a walking stick tutted and shook his head at me today for not stopping for him at a zebra crossing. We were the only people on the road. he was 50% across anyway so had technically crossed my side of the road and moved onto the other side. if i had stopped i'd have been there all day the speed he was walking .

went swimming today. knee feels better. might try doing an hour or so a week to see if swimming helps .

went to coral reef in bracknel with the kids. Anyone been there ? The fast water slide is really quite fast.

Went out friday. 75 flat miles along the Thames . Crickey Richmond park was busy.

Did 75 flat miles on friday. My left knee is fucked. could hardly move my leg on friday night and saturday.Able to walk now but it is bad. going to go to the doctors on tuesday. I have private health via work so im going see if i can go private.

I thought the pain was orignally just a little thing, nothing to worry about. This is worse. Scarey worse.

Saw someone else on a bike with no gears today. Shocking.

The road between Uxbridge and Iver that crosses the m25.

I havnt had a drink for two months .

Ive changed gearing to 48/20. knee pain isnt as bad . but continues.

It's only my left knee as ive said before.

its a dull ache rather than any other type of pain. ive had worse. think i will just ignore it and carry on.

I've taken the kids (9 and 5) on the cable car twice. they love it . Both times there has been hardly anyone else on it. I think it costs around £15 return . I have a tfl staff pass and get a small discount.

The boy aged 9 now wants to do that walk over the dome thing.

I use it as an excuse to get over that way and then make them go to decthlon with me .

Hello. Roughly what gearing is it ?

just bought a 2 pin free wheel removal tool
