    Hi Bold. Good call, it's only me and my mate so a larger squad would be ideal. We're aiming for an 8am departure, how does that sound? Weather forecast doesn't look great, a strong wind and possibly rain!

    Cheers Bold. After barely touching my bike during Dec and Jan I've thrown myself back into it this month. I've signed up to the Puncheur Sportive on March 10th, it finishes on top of the Beacon, hence the Bostal taking a back seat for the moment! You chose a great day to go out, no wind and...

    Yikes, had no idea that feature was on there. Impressive or what! Ha ha, thanks. Think I've been paying it too much respect, the guy who has KOM has a minute on us before we even hit the first incline! I won't be comparing myself against Glanders, that's for sure!

    I'm on this Bold. Can you PM your username and I'll start following you, cheers. I was hoping to beat my PB up Steyning Bostal tonight.....wasn't to be!

    Thanks for the offer but think I'll leave it til the last minute before deciding. Dependent on weather forecast and beer consumption after the Boro game!

    Funnily enough I was looking at that this morning, there are still places available. It's very tempting. Good luck!

    This thread is getting geekier by the day - loving it! Completed my first event yesterday, the Cycling Weekly Dorking Sportive. Have to say it was great fun, taking in some nice climbs - Leith Hill, White Down and Box Hill. White Down is a monster! The majority of participants were walking...

    Yes that is one hell of a little climb! I've achieved rear wheel spin there after picking up water from the little bridge. Crazy gradient. Cool, I will give the Goodwood area a go. Just had a look on google maps and they seem perfect. In a sadistic kind of way. Cheers SB.

    Certainly not! Although I do creep over it once or twice a week. Can you recommend any other killer climbs in Sussex? My regular route takes in the hills of Bury, Duncton and Houghton. After work I sometimes spin up Devils Dyke but I'm yet to do Ditchling Beacon. I'm doing the Dorking to...

    Did anyone make it to Surrey for today's final stage? I got myself up Barhatch Lane and watched from the final corner before the KOM finish line, fantastic atmosphere. Cat 1 climb averaging over 9%, 20% in places, and nearly 1 mile in length. It was like a longer version of Steyning Bostal...

    Recommend a mid range road bicycle??

    Sorry for the late reply Stat Brother, been abroad and offline. Have finally made a purchase. Seems I got the last 52cm as well: Wiggle | Raleigh SP Carbon Comp 2011 Road Bikes I got an additonal 10% off using a voucher code so ended up paying £945. Pretty pleased to be honest. Looking...

    Recommend a mid range road bicycle??

    Yep, haven't been there in years. Southdown Bikes (the Worthing store) stock Trek, so will also have a look in there. I've done the new Giant store and Rayment Cycles. I've also noticed that Wiggle do a 30 day trial on most new bikes, interesting. A colleague of mine is bike mad, he's built...

    Cheers Pantani, much appreciated. I've found a bike shop near me which stocks Cube so will pop down there tomorrow.

    Recommend a mid range road bicycle??

    I'm about to purchase my first road bike and would greatly appreciate some comments on the Cube 2011 Streamer. I was planning to spend around £1,000 and this is on offer for £859. The quality of the kit sticks out - a mix of Ultegra and 105 but I'm not familiar with Cube as a manufacturer...
