Had to carry the bike a few 100 meters

Cleat prints in tar will have people scratching their heads we have a few repairs on the roads round here that have left sticky tar.

On your big ride there is a picture of a dummy holding a sign. What did the sign say? What a great ride.

I'm not going to be there either , too big rides on Brvr today is enough for my sickly bike. @BILL S if you are going to be there could you start it? though you might be alone!

Good luck Bill, I can't make it either - I don't have a good excuse - boozing again - well maybe that is good?

 

[AAAC 76C]

well done @BILL S
i was trying to keep 300 watts steady or just below but the transitions and low low cadence on the big bits made it hard

Thanks Andy. You really did seem to give me good luck. Even if I did come last Under the circumstances I think your excuse is extremely valid

Thanks AAAC. If you hadn't shown up it would have been a very slow lonely ride. Your 300w was just right for my maximum and I had to really push it a few times to keep up. Looking forward to trying to beat myself on Saturday.
NOT!!! Although I will no doubt turn up.

Real world bike question. When I get out of the saddle I can feel a vibration in the front fork, happened since I had the bike. Anything to worry about? Also how to get small stones /tar off the bike?
