Turbo Club - Meet Ups / Events

[LBHIFI]

Perfect weather here today, almost summer, so decided to do an all-out TT test with exactly the same equipment as I will use in Cambridgeshire (even shaved the legs ). Picked a Strava segment and just hammered the throttle to the floor. Daaiieem I loooove speed
Not too much wind, but of course the the wind that was there was smack in my tail.

had a look at route and made another one on komoot - not done the first mile and bit from your hotel but done the rest - roads aint the best but they are quiet - biggest town you go through is burton latimer that can be a little busy but nothing stupid - made a detour through Fotheringhay just because its steeped in history but blink and you will miss it - all to do with henry8 wives , old church , site of old castle, and richard third born there -but very small place
only took you to haddon but the road you have chose from there to your hotel isnt there ! i looked on satellite map and if you keep going there is a farm track that meanders to the back of the hotel and i would try that - dragged the little yellow man to the start of the track and although gated , it looks concrete track
oundle isnt a busy place by any means and plenty of food stops if you want detour into there
also i dont know what sort of touring set up your got - if you wanted a quieter route there is a way through my town that would take you along the valley on old railway track / cycle route - but not for road bikes with skinny tyres as got a cinder type topping
wouldnt go on a605 - fast busy road and not nice

Thank you very much. I've downloaded it to the Elemnt. I'll be enjoying it while you're in Italy explaining to the Carabinieri how you barely bumped that statue and anyway it was 1800 years old and it was time to replace it anyway.

Not me, I'm running Tubular with sealant. Everyone else using standard tyre and inner tube. I'm going to buy bulk Stan's Sealant

I use scwalbes but read a lot of good things about Orange seal endurance and eco friendly too.

I've got a bottle of Orange sealant, .Used it once so far,. I've got a few tyres to change over so will try the remaining

Looks like you've added some freckles.

Edit. 72 Miles in those conditions. Impressive.

Continental GP4000 series it's been my support and secure. Not much flat tyres in few years. I use that with a trainer too.

KOM!

Yeah, maybe it's because I got used to the commuter, but it felt like I was flying - even in the head wind.

I see on one segment you're 23rd out of over 2600. Strong work.

Thanks Randy, although I do benefit from being a local so the chance of hitting the right day with the right legs is much bigger :-)

Thanks everyone - all your jersey payments are now showing in my account (except @LBHIFI who is going to pay me when we meet at Tour of Cambridgeshire).

I'll let you know as soon as they arrive with me....

@LBHIFI are you sure you can sign up for Cambridge on the day? I’ve just got an email saying “all race gates close next Tuesday”.
