Re: The Cycling Thread
Not a good omen for my trip, as my car tried to crush me last night, lucky I didn't get in the way and all that's buggered is the car door.
 So plan B to go in my mates car to Ebbsfleet to get the Eurostar

Re: The Cycling Thread
Damn! Forgot about this on our ride today, a gruelling 70 miler with 3 big climbs.... 15mph average tells the story of a hard day.

For those that do not use Strava, there is another which is quite popular known as Endomondo.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Just finished a lovely 42.5 miler in 2hrs 40 minutes, i'm getting quicker. Got the eating on the bike thing right and finished with energy to spare, woo.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Does anyone know of any reasonably good drop bar road bikes for around £500 with proper STI shifters rather than the cheapo shimano 2300 with stupidly placed shifters?
