I think I can already answer that - very badly.

I've not done my 10 mile TT for quite a while, or ridden in that, easterly, direction.
But obviously it's a section of road I know really well.

Riding it this week has been scary stuff.
There's at least 6 new proper wheel braking holes in one 1/2 mile section.
They definitely weren't there Oct/Nov time.
If it gets proper cold soon, as well, then I don't think we'll have many roads left.


Riding with Phil, on Monday, I saw something in the road by Amerley museum and couldn't quite make out what it was.
It turned out to be crater!
Bigger than a bin lid and at least 4 inches deep.

The very best you could hope for is a broken bike.

I beat it by over 2500 miles!

I have quoted the wrong post...

If you have a small head, buy this. If you have a big head, find it elsewhere. I got one for Christmas, and it is the best new bit of kit I have got for ages.

You're not having much luck tonight, are you?

It's that small I can't see it

I've had this for 3 or 4 years now:-

To date it's never been cold enough to wear.


Nice ride today [MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION].

The loss of Bowie has hit Pogue harder than most it seems.

Was looking at getting a cycling cap as I'm getting geekier my the minute.

Prendas' own label ones are top quality.
I was looking at them the other day, the fact that I could also sneak a 'Z' cap into the order is just good fortune.

The NSC cap SB done for us is probably the bit of kit I love the most. Warm enough for me in the winter and the peak keeps a lot of rain off of my glasses. Also, I don't cook in it in the warmer weather and then the peak keeps the sun out of my eyes. It's just perfect in every single situation for me.

Yeah wish I'd got one now.

Bit of a collectors item now I reckon I didn't even mention the design either, which of course is nothing short of top notch. I proudly keep mine on at Cafe stops on club rides too

Still got my two, never without a cap now.

Get one of these too, and we'll look like Team Albion!

My trouble with that top is that I first saw it being modelled by armchairclubber. Well, I saw it for a few miles at least as I wheelsucked in a vain attempt to keep up with him , then it just disappeared up the road and I didn't get to see again until the end of the ride, by which time I was too knackered to even check for quality or hear what he had to say about it

Mine, with a thin base layer, was perfect today.

I do love the look and feel of it.

Its been a bit of a revelation for me. I've always been normal jerseys just more layers, but this is just amazing at how well it balances your body temperature. Sunday I had a base layer vest, the jersey and a lightweight gilet and I was fine and it was windy and wet. It's actually got a bit of water resistance too. I am very taken with it too, I may end up getting sweaty in the spring as I don't think I'm going to want to stop wearing it!

I think it's good value at full price.
The fact that it's less than £30 made it an absolute steal.

6th Stat, you need to do more cycling.
