That's a bloody big wheel you've got on that bike.

Oh come on, yes we were
(joke, but it was nice to give the new bike a bit of the old acceleration to see if I could keep up....)djtheglove said:Radius that's just showing off with that photo of your bike!

Not unless there was something going on at the back that we don't know about!

Could just have a marathon cake stop, instead, though!
Davyo, you are welcome to use one of my bikes. It depends on the weather what I will be using. Nice weather, then the road bike will come out. Which would leave my hybrid, a full sized folder (actually pretty good, even for long rides) or the Brompton. Poor weather and I'll be on the full sized folder but you are welcome to the hybrid. It's a bit old but it shifts ok. Has no mudguards tho'. Depends how big you are as well. Most of my bikes will fit someone up to 6' 2" or thereabouts. Just let me know if you're interested.

WTG Chris, Dayvo will have no excuses now!
BTW, shouldn't your sig line now be 'Exit Stage Left'?
Although I do see a 'Tom Sawyer' connection in your current sig.

I thought we back markers represented the 'mixed ability' part of the ride with grave dignity.
Coaxing Sittingduck to the top of Westwood Hill was a real 'Chariot's Of Fire' bond building moment. And you missed it.

I don't think it had anything to do with ability, and everyone performed admirably on that hill too! I would simply be lying if I pretended to have any ability...
And as for the bonding, I was sitting behind Gersch (sp? I guessed the German way but I know it's probably not a German name
), silently chuckling at the fixed gear pain. That's bonding.... and anyway, when my trousers tore and the elastic started to wrap round the pedal, it became more like bondage

Is that when you'd stopped near the top?
A rogue shoelace get me like that once, tied my foot to the pedal.
I had a clipless moment five years before I even had my first SPD's.
