CC Jodrell Bank Run Spring 2012 - SUNDAY 22nd April

[ColinJ]

It's only water trust me, you'll not melt

But water is a very good solvent ...

The weather is not unpleasant here in LSA. Dry, but I hesitate to call it sunny.

 

[potsy]

Do I or don't I ?



Get some new tyres from Decathlon ? Digital Blue or Black ? - You can g-tee it will hiss it down if I do this. Could really do with two sets, but that's £80.

Get the digital blue ones and put 'em on your red bike?

Put new tyres on my Secteur the other week, 25mm Krylion's, I like.

I used to ride 25C Krylions but I've gone down-market to Lithions (budget constraints), and down-sized to 23Cs (the 25Cs don't fit under my Crud Road Racers).

Mmm, that's a point, better put the Raceblades back on and live with the weight penalty
Got the Krylion's for around £20 from CRC, none left now though.

I'm still coming .
Just need to fit a new chain on the Trek in the morning, quick test ride and I will be good to go.

Colin?

I commute on Lithions - good tyres for the price.

 

[DiddlyDodds]

On Sunday i will be mainly using black hoops that go round and round

 

[skudupnorth]

Grrrrr F****n typical.....I'm gonna have to miss out. Annoyed is an understatement.
As it's our year end next week, and new price list coming out on the 1st May and the list not at the printers yet, I'm in work the whole weekend.

Bugger ! Maybe the next one ????

I know...just f***s me off, every year they drag their arses with new prices and there's always a delay. Was so looking forward to this too.

What? Oh, er, yes ...

I fettled my Basso last Saturday, ready for Sunday's audax/forum ride but I left it a bit late on Saturday evening and didn't manage to get my test ride in. When I set off to meet potsy et al, my new chain was slipping so much on the old cassette that I had to take the bike home and swap it for my Cannondale. Make sure you do that test ride tomorrow! Just in case - keep the old chain, so you can put it back on temporarily if you have to.

Just out of interest, if I turn up in Sunday will I be the only woman? And are you sure it's just a leisurely ride and not a testosterone fuelled race to the cafe? I may end up MILES behind. :-(

There is another lady riding, Totally Fixed's wife. It is a social ride, the pace is relaxed and no one gets dropped, you will be fine.

 

[lecabnoir]

Ah ha, that's ok then. I feel much better now. :-)
