172 miles Morecombe to Bridlington

Some of you may remember months ago I posted about doing the Open Cycling Coast to Coast in a day ride and what would you suggest blah blah. I've trained hard for the last 6-7 months and on Saturday the big day arrived. I am made up with my result. I started training to just get round and...

Just joined the Strava group. Training for the year going well so far and my C2C in a day ride seems far more achievable now!

Your lycra isn't tight enough... you're wearing lycra aren't you? If not hand your bike back at the door ;)

Any reason not to buy? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Only-1200g-38-50mm-tubular-carbon-fiber-road-wheels-700C-carbon-fiber-road-bike-wheels-powerway/1817698216.html

Thanks guys yes time in saddle increasing and going to look at some hill training as as pointed out there is a decent amount of climbing. Seahaven to Whitby is the route and includes Hardknott pass!

Can anyone suggest a training plan or some targets to aim for? I've signed up for C2C in a day next June (2015) so plenty of time to train. Cycling and fitness wise right now not great I'm not out consistently but can happily do 40-50miles when I am out. I've joined the local cycling group but...

Great thanks!

I'm after a bit of advice if possible! Going on my first trip skiing in a couple of weeks and I'm a bit unsure about footwear in resort Après Ski would these be ok? I already own these btw http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/salomon-mens-x-ultra-gtx-shoe-33110363?id_colour=3533 Ta

Plenty of walks. For a nice meal try Lucy's on a plate. You'll need to book though :)

Eventually the pipe was fixed but the rest of the remedial works (new carpets, redecorated) etc still were not sorted. Lesson learned in as such as acting like a tempestuous child can land in you in more trouble than you may otherwise think and witholding money isn't always the biggest stick...

I rented a flat a fair few years ago. Went away on holiday came back to find a leak from a soil pipe in the building had nicely occured right in my flat. The day we arrived back was a bank holiday, rang the letting company, left a message. Rang the landlord and left a message and then organised...

Don't withold the rent - you will lose all your rights as a tenant. Talking from hard learned experience!

They are reversed like that so that when you jump on and the strap is un-velcro'd so to speak, it doesn't get caught in the chain as you start pedalling.

Thanks!

Advice Needed!! I'm currently running Fulcrum Racing 7's and am after an upgrade. Any suggestions I'm thinking of RS80's? Any opinions? I ride a wide variety of distances and am looking to increase my average speed. Thanks!

That's gonna hurt...

Disappointed in myself today regularly been doing 20-25 miles on a Sunday morning at an ok-ish pace with my training partner. He's picked up an injury so I was on my own and just blasted a quick 11 miles off - couldn't motivate myself to go further though I did up my average speed. Plus side I...
