Liege Bastogne liege this weekend coming and the forecast looks awful again! How hard is it to avoid the crappy weather!

In other news, if anybody fancies sponsoring me for riding the Dragon Rode in June I have a just giving page set up - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-rose1989

Thanks

Easy, look at Paris-Roubaix.

Although I was disappointed it was a dry race!

Last year felt like that! We had snow and hail. It was brutal but made it all the more worthwhile after having finished. I had hoped this year would be 20 degrees and sunny with no wind!

You lot are quiet these days, so a snap from yesterday's Tour de Yorkshire:

Just received this from Jen Miller, thought you might be interested to read her guide on choosing a bike

Dear Editor,

I was searching the web for information on how to choose a bike and saw your great post here: http://forums.sv650.org/printthread....pp=10&page=148

I noticed you mentioned http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike...12-medium-51cm in your post, and just wanted to give you a heads up that I recently wrote a blog post you might like. It’s a detailed, up-to-date 7,000 word guide on how to choose a bike according to science, that details 10 factors to consider and is packed with tips and advice.

If this is something you’d be interested in, here is the link to the blog post: https://www.jenreviews.com/bike/

This is completely free and if you like it, all I ask is for you to link to or share the article on your site. In return, would love to share your post with my newsletter subscribers and followers on social media.

Either way, keep up the great work!

Cheers
Jen

I need help in choosing bikes to get rid of John, not help to buy more

Carelesschucca needs this advice too

Actually getting rid of a bike is harder than deciding which one to get rid of! I'm currently having this very issue

I donated my old bike to 'Bikes for Africa'. Just took it to a local participating Halfords

carelesschucca · 11-07-17, 03:43 PM

I'm selling (very poorly) a bike at the moment. I've broken the two bike rule and need to get rid of one.. As the Sensa will like not get used again because of the new Reilly its been chosen...

On that note Titanium is the future none of this carbon frame lark for me now*

*highly like to change my mind again so this statement will be retracted... I am strong and stable.
