Thought I would post up here and see if anybody is interested - if you are, please drop me a PM.

Late April (dates are fairly flexible) I'm planning a wee trip to Marbella. I have got cheap accommodation out there, works out about £55pp. Easyjet flights are at £80pp currently (return). You can add a bike for £54 but I intend to rent.

Literally, 2-3 miles from the appartment are http://www.marbellarentabike.com/ who will rent a Felt F75 (I have the F85 so fine for me) they also have a few other bikes.

A ride I'm eager to do is http://connect.garmin.com/course/3046323

If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I will give you more info!

Would love to join you, but no can do

I'm thinking of Ventoux trip possibly in September

With my current form, I wouldn't get up anything, even up my stairs

I wouldn't worry about form/speed the April trip is just for fun, my hill climbing has been a 1% incline 10m ramp made in my garden.

I may be planning another in September time (early)

Well I've been off the bike most of the winter, so now I'm paying the price... I have been dead after my club rides these past few weeks

Well, offer stands if you'd like to get out and do some training in the sun for cheap

N + 1 time. Or more N = N

I've been toying with the idea for a while of replacing my single speed with something else.

Had a bit of money come in via work bonus so treated myself. The Single Speed was traded in this afternoon against this

Cube Cross Race. OK so its heavier than the look, but has a Compact so better geared for hills. Also can fit some road tyres / or leave it like it is for some off road stuff.

First ride tomorrow looking forward to it !

Nothing like some bike porn to cheer us all up.

Nice looking bike - most of the cubes are.
