Always wear a clean one then it's not a problem.
Well done Phoenix, put your glasses safe next time
Well the shirts always start off clean, but I dont want sweat ridden haribos or fig rolls after 20 miles!! :P
Are there not long slots in the cleats? This would allow more movement forwards/back.
The cleats dont as far as I can see, I'm very new to this cleat business so maybe Im missing something?
Was a very unexpected shower. I was out tidying the garden when it came.
Looking forward to the Loughborough "tour of the national forest" sportive tomorrow. 15 mile ride to the start then a 63mile sportive and 15miles back.
Hopefully I'm on form and will be going to add a few extra miles to break the 100mile mark finally, just depends on how I feel as Beacon hill is pretty much the last part of the sportive with others hills on route!
Good luck with the ride Reece!
My little jaunt today and top it off 5 achievements including a few pb's chuffed...

Great ride mate
My cycling club is trying to get a novice Saturday ride going but it's not taking off for what ever reason.
I decided I would take my lad along today which is now his 4th ride.
Well it was just as well I did as no one else turned up.
Karen a lady I have met before (from group rides) was leading the ride and I felt a little sorry for her that the turn out was so poor.
The weather was fine with little wind and she led us on a lovely 20 mile route in and around Doncaster on many roads and Tarmac off road trails that I have never been on before but will be using in the future now I know they are there.
Jamie my lad pushed himself really hard and moaned less than he would have if it had been only me there, the ride also served as a nice gentle warm up for my ride I am leading tomorrow I only hope the turnout is a little better.
With the ride to and from the start we did a total of 31 miles, not too bad for a 13 year old lad on his 4th ever ride
Shame, people go out of their way to arrange something, always a shame for the apathy of others. Still, glad your lad and yourself enjoyed it.
You are going to love it! I have got a 2012 105 carbon Synapse with matching 105 pedals and a Fizik kurve bull saddle and love everything about it. The higher riding position as compared to out and out racers for me is a revelation. Have ridden for 5 hours and still felt fresh.
Carbon......niiiiiiiice. A dashing looking bike too, albeit a little too much red for my liking (coming from an Evertonian!)
Seriously though, nice bike!
I've actually eased off slightly myself. I've to be careful with my back as it gets sore if I do too much so have had a couple of rest days lately. Still not sure about tomorrow as it is pretty windy and I find pushing into a headwind really tough at the moment.
Oh, and I do love that Synapse. It was on my short list when I bought my Forme and I still kind of wish I had gone for it. Forme has been great too though so no complaints.
Glad to hear your easing it a little instead of worrying over every mile.
Cycled 32 miles of agonising Devon hills today. Very annoyed because I paused strava when I stopped to tighten a cleat that randomly all the screws had come reallly really loose on then forgot to start it again for the next few miles, so strava only shows 30 miles with a random straight line between 2 points. Anyway, there was by far the most climbing I ever imagined doing, including a good few miles that were unrelentingly uphill (the cat 3 and 4 bits). Went down Haytor which was terrifying (its one of the Tour of Britain mountain stages) and got my fastest speed yet at 37mph. Could have gone much faster if I had the nerve or the road was better condition! Think I might need tomorrow off!!! Dartmoor is ridiculously hilly.

Great ride that, especially considering those hills. Dont know if having that on your doorstep is a good thing or bad! Guess it makes you a better cyclist.
Just set up an online donation page for the charity and wondered if anyone fancies sponsoring me. Every little helps.

Also the club TT's start this thursday. 10mile TT so hoping to get out and do my first, and also do one of the last of the year to see if my cycling is improved. Really looking forward to it.
Ive got my own one for the 100 miler in RideLondon. Have hit my target already, but always willing for more. Will match your sponsorship Reece to your page if you plump in a fiver or tenner! :P:P:P

I think I know where it is and will swap tires back to road and (fingers crossed) go retrieve it.
