Re: The Cycling Thread
bon voyage dipper ..I could more sun.... My head is particularly sensitive to the cold.. neuralgia of something like that. It was a nice day to be out on the bike.. I borrowed one of your ride from last november Maviczap

Re: The Cycling Thread
Was it one of my Alpine climbs
 Despite the difficulty, I really do like doing them, although I've been really lucky that the weather has been very good. But I suspect that you're using it on the Tacx & I agree they are horrible.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Hehe ..I'm not of that level to do mountains ... it was your coastal ride from last year ...I think I might have to incorporate it in my training. Itching to get out again now

 There's another ride with a 15% section I'm hoping to ride the Suffolk Spinner in July, on the 100 mile route. But there's other routes of 43 & 73 to ride as well http://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk/eve...nner-sportive/

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yes, some total nut case.
I've let my Strava club know. Loads of kids cycle to school using these paths, but looking at when it was discovered, leads me to think it was aimed at recreational cyclists using them at the weekend

Re: The Cycling Thread
The usual Aldi cycling gear offer for spring, but if anyones looking for a cheap Garmin, then they're doing the 200 model for £70, which is £17 cheaper than Wiggle.
http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/news/ar...ke-gear-43912/ Only this site comes anywhere near it http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/g...z_oaAkOT8P8HAQ I guess you'll need to get to Aldi pretty dam quick to get one.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Don't know if any of you use this site & app. I found it the other day
Could be handy to find so routes if you're staying somewhere you don't know well, but a local rider does. You can upload and download GPX files for Garmin devices. http://www.bikemap.net/en/route/crea...ype=ts_terrain

Re: The Cycling Thread
Bike went to LBS today for the ENVE's to be fitted. First ride this evening and it feels amazing, so much more repsonsive and I can feel the difference its much easier to maintain speed / accelerate once I am over 20mph...
Cheesy pic in taken in the bike shop when I picked it up
