Love our cycling club Friday morning meet at Costa. Almost makes the £1.75 they charge for a tea worth it.
@Dunks - should have gone out last night, it was lovely.

Woke up with cramp in my thigh this morning! Legs are still sore from doing a training bunch last night.
I actually got dropped way before my usual point going up a slight drag I just switched off.
Managed to keep it going and catch back on where the bunch eases up for a bit and after that made it all the way round with the bunch. Glad I did it but also wish I could have consistent nights of training rather than a week to ten days off then hitting a fast bunch.

Cracking effort there. I don't know how you do it given how little you actually manage to get out. I don't feel anywhere near the point i could stick with that bunch just now.
Contemplating getting back to the 9.30 tomorrow, haven't been out with them in weeks. However i see summer is continuing up here as it has been so far. 9deg, average wind speed of 45mph + gusts and torrential rain showers forecast. Great.

Ant+ speed/cadence sensors, puncture repair kits, inner tubes, Pro4 Service Course tyres, turbo trainer tyres...I think that's about it

Bib shorts. I think the 520 shorts use the same pad as fdj.fr use, and they never win anything. Wait, hang on... Seriously, good shorts.

Isn't the one with SRAM hydraulics £1299?
Man of Honour
Wow, mudguard mounts too. That's actually pretty awesome.
Yup, great bike even with just BB7's, trying not to think about missing out on full hydraulics though

I like my full hydraulics But HY/RDs weren't bad either when I had those. I thought they were a worthwhile upgrade from BB7s.

Yeah, that's what I'll be getting next, even if it's just the front!
Lovely weather here this weekend
Hopefully get a pass from the girlfriend on Sunday for a ride in the morning...
I am at the point now where I am seriously angry and just down right disgusted by how bad May and the start of June has been..... We had fresh snow on mountain top here on Monday & Tuesday this week. I had to scrape ice off my car wind screen on Tuesday morning and every ride this week has been in 6/7 degree's with the usual Western 30mph gusts.
Up here it has honestly been windy for over 3 weeks constantly now. As in 12mph winds minimal and gusts of no less than 20mph for that 3 weeks+
I have never been this disheartened and angry at the weather. Rule#5 yeah yeah yeah, I am doing 200+ miles a week regardless and it's not stopping me, but it's just depressing. Turbo session tomorrow though, **** that!
