Today's news

Cleaned the bike belatedly after last week's messy ride. Chain took some degreasing. Eventually got an 8mm thorn out of the usual tyre. Was on a low mileage tube too, so will repair it.

I love the notion of a low mileage tube. I've never even thought of them having too many miles on the clock. I don't even track them on the super useful gear component section of Strava. I wonder if I'll start now. (Probably, I'll add it to my list of things to do)

I know it is low mileage because it was only a few weeks ago that it went on. The former went straight into the bin at work when I had a closer look at it after a commute puncture..

In case anyone had forgotten, there are 25km of the World Championships road race to go. A beast of a course, and it's building up for a fantastic finish.
 














Hey [MENTION=12665]TrickyOne[/MENTION] how was Cob Lane today, did you dance up it as if it were a speed bump, as usual?

Ah, the Lane of Cobb! Always makes me chuckle as I remember the time I followed [MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION] up it. Always pushing up it Stat...you know me!!

I do hope the climb before hand is still nice and hasn't been rutted and holed.

Sold my Giant on Friday, and it was great to get a message from the buyer last night saying he had been out for a nice long ride on it on Saturday - & loved it.
Its his first road bike after years on an old MTB (and hes doing a Wiggle Sportive near East Grinstead soon) so really pleased to hear there is another convert to road riding out there :eek:)

Question for you guys....

I've got the Strava app on my phone now. But I can't create a route on the phone. So I've logged in on the laptop and made one. How do I now get it on to my phone so I can use it like a satnav? I thought they would automatically link but it hasn't. Is there another step I need to do?

I don't know my way round all the trails round here properly yet so having one earphone in and directions would be handy in the darkness in the morning.
