Re: The Cycling Thread
I've just spent the week in Majorca and did this last Friday, of course our descent was much tidier than this bunch of amateurs  Big climbs in the North of the island, spectacular scenery and miles of smooth flat road in the South, you can understand why pro teams train there, I want to go back, now!!!

Re: The Cycling Thread
So finally booked onto the London revolution 185 sportive! http://www.london-revolution.com/
The camping option is out but funnily it worked out cheaper to get a hotel and just get the tickets for 2 days. So who's coming ??

Re: The Cycling Thread
Why you should always wear a crash helmet. Today's misadventure with a pothole.
front and rear punctures have left me battered and bruised, after a tarmac & rider interface
