Bridgy and DP-cracking rides boys!

 

[AAAC 76C]

I can stand up but do still get some slippage on the steeper bits. I only tend to stand to power up a short, steep section to save changing to the small front ring - longer climbs I stay seated. I have to try and keep my weight as far back as possible to keep the weight on the rear roller which is a bit unnatural!

It's a Continental Grand Prix 4000S which I'm currently using - it's always had a slightly sticky feel, but I think more so recently.

I hear DP keeps his weight back as far as possible hence his success on the turbo.

Thanks for highlighting my large arse AAAC, this is balanced by my large gut though...
... and I have to sit down as standing up just leads to slippage....

I was complimenting you on your riding technique Sir and ment no offence.
To be honest I only stand up at the start and occasionally to rest my laurels or like Bridgy when you can't be 4rsed to change onto the inner chain ring.

Read that too fast and saw the word "silage"

17:30 and we're in the gutter already!
Time for a quick bunny hop back onto the main road.

You may be on the main road but you're still never far from the gutter!

My ventures into the gutter are always to clean it up to allow the run off to drain away.

My recent venture into the gutter was quite messy! This is the reason for my lack of participation recently.....Just glad my bike wasn't in the back! Based on this photo....apparently they can fix it!! Harry Potter has obviously found work after filming I can only assume!

 

[Daddy Pig]

That looks rather painful. Was that a Schumacher shunt....?

Another great ride I see from @bridgy, this man's on fire....

Ah no mate, your poor van

I remember how excited you were when you got that just before DD weekend last year

Did you emerge unscathed??

Thanks mate, yes it's fair to say that went well! Either my fitness has improved or bkool's started being really kind to me since the last update!
