The Fridays Tour

[ceepeebee]

#lonjog surely?

Agreed, and a saved search duly set up.

New tyres are now on (28mm Durano plus - not quite such a bastard as Marathon plus, but very nearly). Seatpack is loaded with tubes, levers, patches and tyre boot. Rackpack has multitool and S&S C-spanner and is waiting for cable lock and assorted spare clothing.

There are two tube lights and two conventional flashers on the back (none so bright as to cause nuisance, I hope). The front has got the cateye and two 7-day shop 5 quid specials (a little grease on the thread to protect from water ingress, probably to be joined by a bit of electrical tape if the forecast is iffy). The GPS mount is on the stoker bars.

Tomorrow we'll go out for a leg-shake, assuming the rain clears up a bit.

I fear my lbs has forgotten to order my new salmon pads as they won't be in for tomorrow. Hmmm, will fettle at home and sort out my gear (while working of course....)

The Enigma currently has Gatorskins, but I might swap them for Durano plus if there's the prospect is substantial rain.... Other than that, good to go.

Is anyone mapping the routes for GPS? We'd quite like to have this as a backup, but don't want to duplicate effort needlessly.

We'll happily map some sections - just let us know which!

I think Mice has put something on map my ride......

I've plotted the routes on Google Maps, and Rebecca E has valiantly attempted to import them in to her Garmin, but without success. If anybody else wants to give it a go, they should feel free - but do bear in mind that I intend, as ever, to make it up as I go along.

 

[redfalo]

Yes, please. I'd like to give it a try to get the stuff into my Garmin.

What pads are you after?
Both my consignments of pads from the USofA have arrived.
I have salmon pads suitable for Ultegra / Dura-ace / 105 as well as those to suit Cantis / V brakes.
Trade?

Email me your latest version of the route, and I'll get them plotted out.

Indeed.... but I have sent it to a grown up for comment!

I'm after some in a V-brake cartridge (I've got stock avids in and they're..... not great - but they're also one piece units rather than having replaceable pads IYSWIM) so I've got both the holders and pads on order. This may make life more difficult of course. I'm really unsure about the one piece units tbh.

I so wish I could put calipers on the Kaffenback...

I half like this FD but then I wonder whether you will leave out some hills........ <laughs out loud at hilariousness of own joke>

Routes (provisionally) as on the big PDF you sent out? I'll have a go as well.
