I got them from my local fb group.

New Beckenham railway station wasn't wearing enough hi-vis.

I'm so sad to hear news of Hayley's passing. Looking back on this thread I realised we met once at a Trans pride event. She went out of her way to compliment my bike. It was a generous, beaming interaction that was the highlight of my day. Realising it was her has given this news an even deeper sadness.

I received a text from a friend that night on her way to PBP telling me about a man who had jumped the fence and was sleeping in the soft play area.

Ordered - thank you for doing this. Much appreciated.

Yes please.

I've just received an email from the Fixed Wheel Challenge organiser. There is a badge for completing a SR on a fixie! This news has made my day!

The organiser usually rides the event.

Email Tom Jackson and let him know. There is probably someone not riding who will give you your card.

Edit: @youramericanlover did this and can probably give more info.

Pls install flaps

Maybe you've sorted this by now. If not, maybe try this... with the tyre fully deflated, you need to take up the slack to get enough leverage to get the bead off of the rim. So get a multitool or a pair of tyre levers and wrap it in a rag (so that you don't mark the rim). Wrap the tyre around the multitool and pull down. A satisfying pop usually results and then you can ease the rest of the bead off of the rim with your thumbs.

You’re not going to like this suggestion. You can reduce tyre size.

Using an L bracket and drilling the mudguard might work. But the issue as far as I can see if probably tyre size.

Yes! No matter your speed or fitness, come out on your fixie. Message me if you are curious/keen and want to ask questions.

Perfect Audax weather.

My bit of advice is eat plenty and often and always keep snacks for when you bonk. When you bonk on a fixie on a 200 it feels like your legs grind to a halt as there is no where to go. Eating will make everything better.

For anyone wondering if they will keep up with the main group, don't worry. I reckon I'll also struggle to match the pace up the hills so I will start with the group and, where it makes sense, do a shorter loop and roll back to the pub/cafe and meet everyone at the end. Anyone wanting to do something similar please join me.

In.

I'm still angry

Well done.

If I was going to do it again (I'm not), I'd do it fixed. Reading your ride report makes it even less likely I'd attempt it.

Super, ta

I need 700c 45mm-50mm gravel tyres. I've narrowed it down to Maxxis Rambler or Pirelli Cinturo Gravel M (I think I can only find 50mm in the tan wall version of the Pirelli).

Anyone tried either of these? Any reviews?

What about Surrey?

Huge congrats. Looking forward to the processing stage and a full ride report!

Yes, I really felt it on Fenland Friends. No issues on The White Hart. I needed to build though (or at least I thought I did). 360 miles of constant hills with no way of resting might be a bit much for a first fixed attempt.

BCM is on my list for next year despite telling everyone who was in earshot that A&S was my last ever audax so goodbye.

I would never have made it out of this pub for an audax.
