Making a ride more of a challenge

[Lonestar]

And what would be wrong with that?

I can't keep up with them?

Ride it like a northerner. To do this, carry an extra 5 stone of weight, do it on a rubbish bike, only drink special brew and get your London mates to subsidise all your expenses.

Oi, let's have a bit of respect - we only drink Special Brew because we can't get White Lightning cider any more!

do what i did on last weekend's manchester llandudno cyclechat ride and turn up on a B.S.O. and wear your normal clothes and shoes.

warning....your arse will be sore afterwards!

Do it without a saddle , I rode 25 miles standing up last year, it's not as bad as you think.

oh yeah? i did 16 miles on Sunday mostly standing because my arse was so sore after a century on saturday riding the bso in jeans.
i gave up at rhyll and got the train.
standing up all the time is bloody hard work.
