Pretty much yes. From Loughborough I would look at Wymeswold or as someone else suggested, use the club search on British Cycling as its easier when the clubs on your doorstep.
I recently bought some of these http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CLRLLW/red_level_leg_warmers but they don't stay up on my legs. I bought them instore so doubt I can send them back, anyone want them? I have two pairs of brand new ones still with the packaging and one pair that have been worn for about 10 miles.
Oh flipping bloody bugger. Misjudged the length of my ride today and fell 8km short of the last May Massive badge. I know it's an arbitrary goal but I refuse to not reach 1000km after getting up bright and early today. Singlespeed detour trip to the shops later with Strava on

Oli is cool with 7.30am.
I'll send you my mobile number in trust just in case. You must know some decent routes around Surrey? I was planning to take Oli on my route that goes past Epsom Racecourse then to Dorking and up Ranmore Common, then up Chapel Lane and round to Box Hill.
I am indeed... Springs really late this year.[Damien];24371863 said:I retired mine as soon as the snow stopped falling. Bloody softies some of you
Tell me about it, I thought I climbed more! Need to try a different route, I didn't set out for climbing run today anyway
He's going to text me later. His knee's a bit banged up after that crash so he's going to see how it is later this evening.
It could be called the "Lycra Fetishists Forum".
As much as I love Lycra, I suspect you'll get non-cyclist coming in asking for other gears, if you know what I mean.

It amuses me that we don't have a cycling sub-forum, yet we have the "On the Water" sub-forum which sees maybe five posts a week at most. Who do we have to bribe in order to rectify this?
I think we should merge with motors, bring the war on the roads to the forums.

Triban 3 in white 57cm ....4 available in Edinburgh, only a 528 mile round trip
These bikes are like gold dust. My nearest center has a 54 and a 60 available, but for my height its the 57 I need. They have the T3 in red, plus it has carbon forks and shimano drive train and its only a different colour but still
Other option would be to double the budget and go for the T7 Black but it'd wipe out budget for shoes etc meaning i'd have to scrimp

years and years ago cycling was in what used to be "cars and bikes"

What's wrong with Red?
Also, how tall are you? Perhaps the 54 plus taller seat post can work?
