Hello Zanda!!!! Can understand your envy. Would be ice packs in that car where you are?

I had a hard day today at the beach, the waves were unseasonably rough. Also it was so hot that the asphalt in the carpark was melting and burnt my feet.

Looks like it was a good day out - lots of smiles in the photos and the requisite hardness achieved. Well done all, well done.

too cold for the 2CV?

Go well chaps. Wish I was there.

This is totally worth the ride just to see Clubman's car parked by the side of the road.

Thinkin' of y'all this time of year.

Miss.

You'll never ride again.

probably.

Hi all. Miss yous.

rode the buzzard in 2013 and DNF'd.

TBH it was brutally hot that day, but the route itself I found to be more of a miles-for-miles sake type Audax than a see-the-sights audax.
Lots of busy straight roads and nothing really romantic.

I concluded that I wasnt having any fun and chucked it.

Big 61cm Condor Pista.

Not sure how old it is but it looks a lot like the models which were suffering from the infamous Condor Pista Crack of Death at the seatpost / top tube junction

actually my frame/listing.

think this is a few years past that era. I havent ridden it to death, but if it hasn't cracked under my svelt silhouette

like to come for a ride.....and missus has approved..... but in the basement I have a choice of only two weapons
1) commuter 92 GI fixed or
2) great green arkleseizure audaxer with gears.

Ugh..

for example...

you got me.

I take exception with "pan flat" it's a bit lumpy to be fair.

Sophie Dahl is "a bit lumpy".

This ride is more Kate moss pre-heroin.
There are bumps but you have to really look for them.

It's much easier than RotFL. Very do-able fixed. No really steep stuff.

basically pan flat apart from one long grind at the end, which is a lot more taxing than it should be.

I'd go as far as to say it's more enjoyable fixed than not.
but what isnt, really.

Is there a list? I like lists.

Unfortunately i'm confirmed out.
we have a wedding the evening before in Rugby and I wouldnt make it back down in time.

keep away from the 20mph speed demons.

Life begins at 20mph

Choose Life

that's what I was afraid of.
I'm too much wanker to be a WNKR.

:(

just so I'm clear - I've never quite understood (not) TNRC speeds quoted.

is 16-18mph:
1) try and pootle along at 16-18 on anything +/- 3% gradient, or is it;
2) ride at 20+ then faff about and throw a hill in and end up with a strava average of 17mph

because they are two very different things.

I'd completely forgotten about this

now i'm remembering

tonight I will try to remember to leverage leave pass

BJ are old school.

BJ world tour has clearance for days.

Typical audax bike;

owner is a bit of a liability.

Mid 60 wha?

wots all this then?
you lot larking about on bikes again?

The riding is easy enough to do it in one hit

This.

Ride to Portsmouth in the afternoon, overnight ferry with boozehead motorcyclists, disembark with said boozehead motorcyclists who charge off into the French countryside in spite of the fact they've been up all night boozing.

The ride to Paris is pleasant enough and should see you there in time for an afternoon beer.

lettie are you after front or rear?

Are you doing this audax from Reading on Saturday?

KVR 200 this weekend.

yes

anyone able to tell me their experiences of the Mille Cymru?
