Would today be a good day to switch to clipless pedals with just under a week to go? Never used them before :ohmy:


Hmm, need to check I have a first aid kit before I get on the bike.

If you do fit them...
You might well want to have a word with your LBS regards cleat position. If you don't, at least read up on it so you can (hopefully) get that right...
1. Put the bike in a doorway or where you can lean against a wall, and practice clipping in and out repeatedly, until you feel comfortable. Set the release tension fairly low, I'd say!
2. Go somewhere quiet (deserted car park etc) for your first ride with them.
3. Don't panic :smile:

Here for rides.
Just found out my next door neighbour is doing the ride. She's just taken her bike to the lbs to get it serviced. She's very excited about it and suitably forewarned about Reigate Hill and Slugwash Lane.

she'll doubtless be impressed by the sobersided gentleman at the top of Slugwash Lane. I just hope that she's not overwhelmed by the Reigate Hill Squad.

I'm in!

Well, just at the start helping people sign in. Won't be carrying on to Brighton because I have some business to take care of Saturday - need to be on a 07:40 train to 'the north'.
