Anyone considered doing the Commonwealth Games route yet?

I wish they would do a closed-roads sportive on that route.

More like slowing him down, I would anyway .
I suppose I could apply for the feed zone and practice throwing cakes at fast moving dots whooshing past

How's things, @mr messy? Are you back on a bike yet, or at least getting better?

Yes, you should, and post them on here, otherwise it didn't happen!

Gorgeous morning for cycling (to work, unfortunately - would have loved to carry on straight past, towards the Borders). Slightly amusingly, to me anyway, I had to slow down slightly a couple of times, so I didn't overtake roadie blokes unintentionally and accidentally wound male pride on my tank with panniers ... One of them was making heavy weather up one of the steeper hills, luckily I got to turn off onto my quiet diversion, and by the time I caught up with him again, he was turning off my route ... The other one also seemed completely unaware of me catching up without trying, this time my turn-off from his route came just in time, phew .

Lovely sun and tailwind last night - perfect conditions to reclaim one of "my" KOMs . Pretty pleased with 1st of 873, even if most of them are from PfS.

Bad news is my rear hub is acting funny, sometimes giving me a half to a full turn of the cranks before engaging. Funny noises coming from back there, too. Think I'll need the LBS to have a look.

I had the problem with my rear hub, all the grease was out of mine when they took it apart, all the bearings also fell out when they tried to service it, I got my rear hub re built for about £15

Yeah, I'm guessing it's a similar type of job for me.

I also have a rear wheel making strange noises. Would help if I actually got round to taking a hacksaw to the seized nut so I could get the wheel off and have a look

Get the rear wheels looked at, guys, mine split the axle ... at a set of traffic lights ... just after a downhill
It wasn't even making a noise
Congrats @Rasmus mighty KOM Wish I could be your (Strava) queen
