Road Cycling

Off for a slow paced 100 miler to keep the legs spinning. If any Manchester people fancy something slow I'll be near Tatton Park shortly after 10 :)
 
Bit hard to say without taking it apart but it may just need cleaning and re-greasing if you're lucky. I wouldn't be shocked if it's pretty knackered though.

My OH has been spamming Facebook and Twitter on my behalf so that might have been what you saw. :) Exhausted today and epic saddle soreness but rode well within myself so was never in too much distress and could enjoy it as much as you can enjoy these things!

It's what everyone says but everyone should do at least one.

Ah yes, that's probably where I saw something :)

Seriously nice work. I'm not shocked you're a bit fatigued and sore :p

Ventoux triple done!

Ended up being a really enjoyable ride. Took it steady on the bedoin ascent as I knew the forest section was tough. I then got really into the second ascent and despite having a huge amount of fatigue from last week in the alps ended up around 4w/kg for the entire climb. The final ascent from Sault was very steady until it joins chalet reynard so wasn't a big issue

It's surprising how many people do it - I met one guy at the top who had just completed his second ascent but had started at 4am! Weather really was perfect - no jacket required on the descent as it was warm and still. It was around 30C but I seem to do well in the heat so it didn't bother me too much

Awesome work! :)
 
I take back all my gushing about Pro4 tyres - two tyre levers broken trying to put new ones on. Combined with chain and cleaning and stuff I've been doing bike maint for about 5 hours. Sigh.
 
Lol, so tempting. Maybe I'll use OMS's 200 mile route to get back to Manchester amirite? :p

Cheers for the donation. Will be sticking around in Laaaaandan for a couple of days afterwards to eat all the food.

I found it was the rim that made it harder rather than the tyre.

Snapped two trying to fit Vittorias on a fulcrum rim, went on hplus no bother.

BennyC that looks bloody beautiful, I'm jealous as I've been riding in the dark a lot through winter, nice sunrise this morning though.

To be honest I've fitted a few sets of Pro4Ends V2 to these same rims and though they've been a bit of a pain initially they were nothing like this latest batch. Took me forever to get them fitted :/

I've got some GP4000Sii's to replace Maxxiss Detonator's on my Whyte Suffolk. Should I wait till they're worn out or just do it? I don't have much confidence in the wet however in the dry they seem fine, caveat being I've never tried another tyre.

Replace immediately and then set fire to the detonators :p
