Yep, I have one, it’s my spare one for Mallorca. It’s the VS model with a cutout. @nigel-byde give me a call if you want to borrow it?

Any on that list you want to tackle @david-anderson?

Looks good. The main road to Broadway will be quicker than going through Didbrook and Stanton. The road out through Willersley is good and pretty flat. North of there I have no idea! Perhaps @david-townley could provide some comments?

Thanks @dan-frost – after some planning and routing, it all worked a treat. Thanks! 👍

That climb was used for an Everesting last year.

I have various activity profiles on my Garmin, so if I just want to ride I choose the profile with minimum data, i.e. time of day. I still like to record all rides so that I can track progress.

This is great news; perhaps we could organise a ride out east and then follow the route to Cheltenham after the race passes through. Or even better head to Cheltenham and drinks beers whilst watching the finish!
The following day stage 8 starts in Worcester and heads through Pershore and then out to the Malverns, perhaps if the timing works we…[Read more]

@richard-gamblin, I have added the BHF ride to the dashboard.

Terrific – thanks @dan-frost! I’ve just signed up myself – looking forward to it! With a couple of birthdays on the day, might have to find a way to include cake & candles!

Rach and I have signed up. It’s also my birthday on that day!

Unfortunately cheap does not equal good. Only the most expensive jackets from likes of Gore are breathable. I have one that cost over £100 a few years ago, so over time the value works out ok.
You may get more use out of a softshell jacket.

If nothing else they will provide a bit of fun! There is no harm in giving them a go, so long as they do not cause any hearing or safety issues for those using them.

@mike-tickle, one suggestion is if you are leaving the bike insight you could use large cable ties to prevent opportunistic thieves, advantage is they weigh next to nothing but are very strong. Just remember to have something to cut them!

Mike
I got one of these Cafe locks KRYPTONITE KRYPTOFLEX R2 RETRACTOR POCKET COMBO CABLE LOCK
£ 7.99 from http://www.sigmasport.co.ukLightweight and they would need wire cutters to remove

are you taking it on tour?

Not Sure i’m hiring a bike so not that concerned about the bike

@neil-hamillThat’s a good suggestion, perhaps we can ride the Raiding Redmarley route this week as its flat and put the Fish into a Feb.
@chris-shambrook can you make the changes?

@mike-tickle I have found commuting every day helps to keep my fitness up. You can put in longer loops to/from work. You can also introduce some intervals and sprints away from junctions.
With regards to climb training there are no shortcuts, just go out and do hill repeats!

Loads of resources out there… http://www.active.com/cycling/articles/12-weeks-to-stronger-cycling?page=2 But it’s all about time on the bike… decide a plan and see how much of it you can stick to and how quickly you can get back on it when you miss a session

@chris-shambrook, maybe a ride up Fish Hill could be included. I also think @david-townley was thinking of an excursion up the Tumble?
Maybe over to the Malverns?
Dan Frost posted a new activity comment 2 years, 11 months ago

I’ll see what I can do… some slightly longer rides beckon
-
@chris-shambrook, @dan-frost, it was cookie who talked about a Tumble trip but not sure this works as a club ride – maybe a few tourists want to go and try on a different day… As for local climbs suitable for Mallorca training, I think the following work:
– Fish Hill (3.5km with good simulation of tour climbs)
– Stanway (3km only but perfect…[Read more]-
With only 12 weeks to go does anyone have suggestions for an approach to getting in a suitable shape for the trip?

I think offering a mix of 09:00 and 13:00 starts would work.

I have amended the route, slight increase in distance but removes the A435 from the journey home. I have amended the ride details.
Dan Frost posted a new activity comment 3 years ago

@chris-shambrook, can you amend the route on Sunday to head south from Northway across to Fiddington, Treddington and then Gotherington Fields. It means we can avoid the A435.
