I think my wife loves me

Bianchi XR3, Potenza mechanical gears Test rode a Infinito CV with Di2 and Disc brakes but couldn't get excited by either. Preferred the look and styling of the XR3. Got a good deal off the guys at County Cycles. Hoping weather is good tomorrow so I can take it for a little spin!

Pure filth. Glad I'm wasn't in work when I opened that 😲

Very jealous, I wish you many happy miles on it!

@Whorty fulcrum 7s are good winter wheels as they have cartridge bearings so easy to swap out. Lots of options for upgrades. Campagnolo shamals for a good set of climbing wheels, no experience of deep section carbon hoops, something I need to resolve soon.

You got your PM sorted?

Yeah I think so - operator error - I think it was just a low battery!
I was sure it was fully charged a couple of weeks ago but after a good charge the other night it has worked fine since.

😻 Class bike @Whorty - health to enjoy!

There’s a race up the alpe tomorrow at 10:10 that I’m going to try and join. @Breedon and @berty bassett are signed up too I believe. I hesitate to use the phrase ”it should be fun”, but it is always nice to see the summit!

was hoping to ride out side this morning but the weather has other things in mind so signed up for this 😊

I had to bail sorry chaps. I’d already kind of decided to but then I saw your group Micheal and Chris. Tried to get going again but... not happening today... I’m hoping I haven’t picked up a cold.

Hope you all had ‘fun’!

I'm trying to grind out as much as I can now that the rugby is over, definitely finding my stamina is shocking at the moment, not sure if something viral or just tired - legs usually go last for me but I'm able to type and in wrecked. Dean and Chris looking v strong.

Must.get.tron.bike.

 

[Freelanderuk]

Well I got to the top ,Dean passed me in the last couple of KM, snot running down my face but happy when awarded the light weight wheels and loads of PB’s on Strava, well done all

There was another iOS update for Zwift also when I finished

 

[Breedon]

Yes well done all who took part and completed quite pleased with my efforts getting my fitness back now and seeing results.

1 OUT OF 10...

1 OUT OF 10...

That’s still one more than any of your excuses. I’ll take it

 

[bobinski]

I'll let others be the judge of that! After all, bailing coz you might have a "cold", is setting the bar very very low for the star of the winter season

 

[<Tommy>]

I'll let others be the judge of that!

I think that’s wise mate...

I had a chance to read some reviews. That is an impressive bike. It sounds like it dampens road vibration.

It does. And it's a great frame. But ...... i took it back today for a refund When looking for wheels last night I noticed the price difference between the spec bike I had and others online. Anyway, short story, the guys held their hands up and said they'd priced it wrong and apologised profusely but, by then I'd given up on the bike was half way back to the shop to get a refund. Honest mistake, but has made me realise I jumped a little too fast yesterday and compromised on what I actually wanted. So taking a breather and going to re-look at the various bikes and make a more informed choice.

Wife is a little sad as she wanted to buy me a dream bike, but I think also pleased that I'm not settling.
