Had to cancel the weekend away racing a 65mile/11000ft race this weekend, damn well needs to be better in 2 weeks for the 100miler and massive 18 day road trip I've been planning for 8 months

Fantastic evening for a ride. The light was just amazing

Half hour drive for me

I've always liked Continental MTB tyres, never really used many slicks so can't comment. I doubt there's as much difference between 2 slick tyres, so if you're on a tight budget get the cheaper ones. Otherwise, go for the Conti i'd say.

I have no need for a TT bike, but that looks Although smaller branding would be my preference (total stealth with zero ).

Been on holiday so i'v been off my bike for two weeks. Did about 50 miles yesterday at an average pace and my legs are hurting a bit today so it's not looking good for sunday.
If anyone asks i'm going to tell them it's a steel frame

Anyone who uses a boot/hatch mounted cycle carrier got any tips on security?. I have just bought one of the "Mont Blanc 3 bike" ones from that well known high street catalogue store and its a pretty decent bit of kit for the money. But all it secures the bikes to the carrier with are nylon straps.
Now I realise that any bike thief who really, really want's to pinch yer bike will do it regardless of security but what I was wondering was does anyone have any suggestions on how to protect my bikes from say a "casual thief" just wandering past my car when it was parked up for instance at a supermarket car park whilst I nipped to the cash machine etc?. Or is this just not possible with these types of carriers?.

Got a towing eye on the back of your car? You could run a cable down to it.
