Correct!

It's nearly 12hr time AH... I'll keep you posted later on the course details.

You mean the course that you download to your computer to watch whilst trundling along on your turbo in your dining room with your iPod on?

Are you allowed to stop for loo breaks/food on a 12 hour TT? And do you go round a loopy course multiple times or do you cycle to Manchester and back?

People count stationary mileage? The cheek!

Last year it was loops on 4 different cicrcuits.

Did some real miles today... Quite a few of them too.

Remember though on the road there are times when you're able to free wheel, so effectively should we count these miles of 'freewheeling' aye...aye... What you got to say about that then aye... aye!

At least on the turbo they're all pedaling miles, so there!

What about people riding fixed? They're not freewheeling, eh, so they should get more credit. Unless they are you, of course, as you don't need the mileage credit.

And what about people like me on three wheels - clearly using far more energy to propel our three-wheeled-beasties (I have explained this before)?

[EDIT] Hey, are you planning to overhaul Petevine this month? Someone needs to, he's doing lots and lots of miles.

Mind you, I'm off on the 27th August for a two week German cycle tour with the lovely PippaG, so I might get a few more miles in too! And they will be miles laden with touring luggage so are worth double on Cyclogs!

Hmmm, I've just cancelled my touring plans for the next ten days due to the unending rain. Was hoping to sneak right up to the CC top handfull for August, but now I'm getting a lift to the venue so I have a week and a half with no bike at all, there's an unhappy turnaround

Bl00dy English summers.

The weather for the next two weeks doesn't look too bad (well for here anyway) - not a heatwave but equally not torrential showers either.

I rode my trusty fixed over winter on some epic rides and still use it occasionally now during the racing season.

Fair enough AH, definately can't argue on that one!

Doubt it... This blokes a monsta mile eater, I'm just getting some miles in ready for the 12hr. Hoping to get near 260 to 270miles+ for this event, depending on weather and 'the suffering'. From next week I start tapering off.

Log them as double miles AH... I don't mind! You're ard as flip! Hope you both have a great time out there.

Broke my baby< (FELT DA TT bike) today. Was riding the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 50 mile TT and my saddle started moving around quite a bit at about the 42 mile mark and got progressively worse... The last 2 miles or so I had to ride out the saddle and it was a killer on the 'quads', (great workout though), managed to finish though and more surprisingly I won with a time of 1hr 51min and 51 seconds, winning by just 14 seconds. Ohhhhhhh, a close shave!

The alluminium seatpost clamp fixed/glued to the carbon section of the frame decided to part company with the frame. Think it will be repairable but means the bike will be OOA for the rest of this season I suspect.

Bummer!!!

It may be back sooner than I thought... Solution---- Glue the seatpost in. Waheyyy problem solved!

 

[Breedon]

im at 145 was at 44 but hope to get up the charts next week as planing a few 60 milers that should get me up there, then i'll be starting a site which is 66 miles round trip lovely country roads for a week or 2.

So i'll then know whats it like at the top.
