How long did the climb take you? (And if you measure power, what was your average W/kg for it?) I fancy tackling GDF, but I'd need to lose more weight, and gain more power before I'd feel confident enough to do it. I'd also need to do a lot of...

The reason I came up to Penrith was to climb Great Dun Fell nickname the English Ventuex ,and this morning was the day a gentle rolling 14 miles to the base then just up the hill for 4.5 miles to gain 2052ft of elevation at an average of 8.6% and...

Summer got in the way and distracted us, but now... Falls near!

Chuffed. Weight stayed the same over the 9 days holiday despite beer - I was walking a lot, paddle board and bike though ! Dropped a couple of kg this morning, but we'll see how that stabilises. But, and a bigger but... had blood tests last...

How has it died? Have you investigated battery replacement? I got one for my Polar for not a whole lot of money (IIRC it was about £15-20) and fitment appears straightforward; however I've not done so yet as the original seemed to recover and...

Unfortunately I was hit from behind whilst cycling on Sunday early evening. 46 miles in to my ride and less than a mile from home then BANG and I was on the deck. A car was coming in the opposite direction and stopped immediately, the couple came...

I appreciate the effort, but this is coming from one of the most dangerous cities in switzerland + is about e-bikes I live in central Switzerland and while its not heaven on earth (pretty close though for all its worth), you can feel the...

What an amazing day! The weather was unbelievably perfect, after rain last week and pouring down today. Some fab rest stops, even if we did fail to spot they had relocated the Yarmouth one to Freshwater 🤦‍♂️ Excellent banter, managed to help fix...

I just checked. Apparently (click link), over 54,000 bikes were stolen in 2024 and the problem is increasing so I would still be very cautious!

When I had my first bike pinched I was really upset. But looking back I think why was I crazy for a purple emelle mtb bike with 200gs gears!🤣🤣🤣

I would be tempted to buy a nice versatile gravel bike to enjoy riding, plus a very cheap 'disposable' bike for school and errands. When I was young I had my bike stolen from school, and a friend's son had his bike stolen in his first week at...

A fellow walker here (health problems knocked my cycling on the head). For a good while I couldnt walk either (without a zimmer). Anyway I bought an indoor treadmill which is located facing the garden and birdies. I managed to build my legs up so...

Really sad news to read this morning and is too close to home as local roads. Even closer for @Sharky Two cyclists killed, another injured in Sole Street, Kent. At 7.50am on a Sunday morning there would have been very little traffic on those...

Right...report time. Back to Friday. After umming and aahing about which service to go for, fast and rather early for my 1333 booked train, or slower but less but still plenty of time, I went for the first off-peak fast one to Waterloo. In at...

Up in Penrith for a week so I packed my climbing legs and this morning out the door at first light to get a weather window and avoid the traffic on the climb which is an A road . Rolled out of Penrith and the climbing begins instantly a few...
