Turbo Club - Meet Ups / Events

[Norry1]

Definitely interested @TurboTommy but won't be able to confirm/reject for some time yet as my plans for next year are a bit fluid at present - both family and other.

I've ridden Ventoux and it was great, and people said the ride through the Gorge was amazing although we didn't get to do it.

Yes I'm in, and like I said before I won't be cancelling work can fk off this time.

Another thing I should be back on Zwift today or tomorrow got to lose all this weight now

It would be great to have you on board mate. As I said to Carl there’s no deadline. Hopefully you can make it work. Everytine I think about this trip I just think what a good laugh we’re all going to have along the way.

I’d be up for it if we could get a team together. It might be one for next year though.

Who'll act as the mechanic/teaboy/masseuse/chef for team CC

Apart from team members you're only allowed 1 additional person as mechanic at your pit station

That looks like a laugh.

I've done a very similar event to this called Cyclothon round Brands Hatch a couple of times, but that was only 12 hours and was hard enough! Great fun too though!

Got it.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Been a busy couple of days.

I found out yesterday that my Guru bike, that I was planning to take to the Alps first week of September, has got a crack in it. Mechanic friend of mine picked it up. It's booked in with the nearest carbon frame repair shop now. Touch and go whether it will be fixed before I go, so had to sort out a Plan B as well.

It's a real pain, but not as painful as a frame failure when descending in the Alps. I had a carbon fork failure five years ago and ended up in hospital for 3 days. I'd rather not go through that again.

Who you booked it in with? I have some gouges on one of my carbon wheels I want checked over. I think it’s fine but want someone who knows to have a proper look.

Would really like to go with you guys to conquer Ventoux, but we have been spending silly money traveling this year. We're going to Maspalomas, Gran Canaria in October, so I'll be satisfying my mountain-hunger there. Also finally spend money on an upgrade for the ToC TT (don't tell my wife ):

Which wheel do you think wheighs the most?
