I wish that had stuck in mine - finding out an hour into the journey is not fun. DAHIKT

Wouldn't want to seem disloyal to Cyclechat, so I shall whisper this.....there is a whole sub-board devoted to LEL with already lots of questions posed and answered over on YACF
Welcome to Pato Donald and Joey B !

Hehe, cheers Pete. I did actually stumble across that forum too. It will save me asking some questions here, for sure. I like it here though :-)

Thanks so much for the help to PpPete! I promise not to tell anyone on this forum about your treason!

This is the in-depth valve cap discussion I've been waiting for all my life! Thanks everyone!

you can get someone to convert .pdf or .doc(x) file of your book into .mobi (i'd search for a deal on fiverr.com), then you submit the ebook file to https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/signin. (unless amazon doesn't want it to be available for other reasons?). hth

Thanks. The above (plus a final 10 minutes to squeeze the bl00dy thing through) has resulted in the Kindle edition seemingly being listed at amazon. Oh my. I'm famous. All over again

Does this mean I'm not special anymore?

Of course not, you have a certificate and everything

You are a beautiful and unique snowflake.

I have the Kindle Mac app (bought some Scottish bloke's bike training manual while it was on special offer). Have a few dead-tree books to get through first, but might finally get your tome after that...

I've never, ever been called a snowflake before. With the direction my weight is heading, I'm a pretty, heavy snowflake

What bike do people plan to use for LEL 2013?
It might help me make a decision on which bike to get!

I'm taking Lelly which was bought specifically for LEL. It's a Planet X (or Van Nicholas really) titanium sportive. I'll have a Nelson longflap carradice on it with tools and batteries. I'm not sure of the gearing yet but will probably leave as is (53/39 - 25/11)

 

[middleagecyclist]

I plan to get fitted for a Paul Hewitt Chiltern in the Spring for use on my 600k and LEL. It will be red and sporting a Carradice of some description.

 

[mcshroom]

I've said I'm not riding, but if I do then it will be either on a Dawes Horizon with a rack pack and rear rack, or a 1980s Raleigh Criterium (Reynolds 501 frame) with a bagman and carradice of some description.

Gearing on either will be 48-38-28 front and 11-28 or 11-32 rear.
