Any more for the OMJ cycling club, the coffee and cake makes all the pain worthwhile :D

Why is it always coffee and cake?
Can't it be tea and biscuits occasionally?

We can go for tea and biscuits next trip out just for you OY

Pie and a pint the week after. There's no rules :)

So, the lad's been sent off on his first bike industry jolly up. To Italy. For a 2016 bike launch of trail/enduro/ downhill bikes. He had his bikes prepared to his spec, yesterday, by team mechanics. Today he's riding a 5 hour enduro with Nigel Page and former world downhill champ Sam Hill, amongst others.
Apparently, this is called working.
:/

Lucky lad. 'No wage' Page as he was known. Who is he riding for?

CharlieG

The lad? He works for a certain bicycle magazine...
He's just texted me to say what a brilliant day he's had. Only three crashes, all OTB and all onto "massive rocks". Now in the bar drinking free beer.

MBR? MBUK? Singletrack? Tell him I need some Hope cranks.... ;)

CharlieG

Singletrack..........and I get first dibs on the freebies.
:)

Travis_Bickle

Tod's finest. Best MTB magazine out there. And never mind first dibs, tell him I want that Swarf Spline 29er......

CharlieG

Oh, he's ridden the Spline. Says it's mint. Barney has to give it back soon but loves it so much that he was willing to buy it. Taking into account the fact that it's got a custom paint job, the "mates rates" price is £1100!!!! He's declined.

Bought myself a road bike a couple of weeks, and went mad on my first ride and rode way too far. Had a big energy drop, and managed to fall off at a junction because I couldn't get my feet out the pedals. Decided I need to build up a bit slower, this morning did a flat slow 17 miles. I'm no Chris froome but I loved it. The hail storm and trying to get round the flooded river Ouse made it fun.

Aiming to do the coast to coast over two days next summer with some more accomplished riders from the village, although I feel a long way off it right now.

"Isopulse; the spokes are laced radially on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non drive side to maximise drive side dish, thus providing a better spoke tension balance between left and right flanges"

Is this is sexual thing or something?

Flange is mentioned so I guess so....

Placid

Getting bike for xmas for the youngest. Going to be taking family Placid on cycling breaks in an oh so sickly Guardianfamilyrobinson kind of way. Really looking forward to it.

I believe it's called "marketing bollocks" but they are very good wheels for the money.

Cycling is like pottery - lots of double entendres......

At least that's what I'm taking from Gogglebox's review of the Great British Throw Down or whatever it's called

Travis_Bickle

Un-fucking-believable....

Anchor

I saw that elsewhere - gave me an anxiety attack that.

Cuts

Some great comments under that video

Hmm similar route on the way to work

I'm going to try that!!

I can do that - Here, hold mah beer..........

I can't even ride a bike with one hand...

Does anyone know if they broke it down or this one continuous ride? Insane no matter what. Some people need saving from themselves.

Sky Channel 464. Bike. All about.....

Made me feel ill parts of that.
