Turbo Club - Meet Ups / Events

[Randyberlin]

Although I won't be there I shall be doing 103+ miles on the Sunday as I'm riding to skeg Vegas wife and lad will meet me and we're spending the rest of the day there

I really liked it there. Never found the kiss me quick hat but great fish and chips at the shore and the Skegness Rock.

Just watch those dialects, they're nearly as dangerous as a London Zombie knife

Being on the local pre beeching cuts train is an experience I cannot believe so may people are talking so loudly on their phones! All at the same time. Can’t understand a word they are saying...

You do know the hang monkeys up that part of the country! Be very careful when you pronounce your name, they dont like cheeky monkeys

What a brilliant picture. I can feel the suffering from here!

In a rather strange turn of events the missus didn’t put up any resistance to me doing the DD. But I’ve decided against it. I’m not entirely sure if she’s played some type of cunning mind trickery on my simple brain. But her saying she doesn’t mind me doing the ride has made me realise I’m better spending this weekend with my family seeing as I’m off the weekend after too.

Next year is all I can say. And hopefully many more rides together too! I’m sure not having to listen to me talk sh!te non stop will only improve your weekend anyways

Good, though difficult, call there Tommy not least because you ( anyone really) would have struggled to recover in time for the Pyrenees.
Save your sh!te for then

Got to admit that I as well thought about doing the DD but came to my senses

booo !

You can go finish that ftp test

 

[CXRAndy]

Lee are you able to drop cadence a little on FTP test so as try slow HR from peaking too early? It needs a little extra leg strength

 

[berty bassett]

serious question boys - after the last "Bob " i mullered the front shifter and rear mech on a campag 10 speed - now i have been looking at replacing like for like and i have found with some of the deals that are out there i can get 11 speed bits for nearly the same price - now i know i would have to get new chain ( no bad thing - and also a 11sp cassette again no bad idea ) question is - would all the parts play nice together - athena levers - centaur rear mech ? -- maybe aimed more at @kipster as i know he likes his campag
not that bothered what it looks like just as long as its smooth running

i think i know the problem - and its all to do with my head - done it on the jungle route - i think if i try in going up the mountain it would seem different - just feels so wrong going downhill trying so hard - if i go up the mountain i can and have just stood up for 40 mins or more just plodding along
i think also it would be a little easier if you had a goal like on trainer road - a little line to reach . Never have liked these tests and the heat just got to me
i will try it again before we go away - but not tomorrow - i have a little wake up call for the legs - theres a hilly 40 just screaming to be done !

 

[CXRAndy]

Lee are you changing both levers and rear mechanism? I would ask/check with a campag specific person for compatible match. Some Shimano shifters in earlier version had different pull ratios. I know MTB wouldnt work road because of this issue. That's why I like Di2. Does away with these issues mostly

You need a steady incline to do FTP or TR
