    Ye gods Stolly...It hurts my wrists just looking at it! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
    I think you'd enjoy it many times more on an eMTB...but hats off to you. Great film. I really ought to use my Go-pro more often.

    To be honest my wrists were fine. It’s the track that all of the 3 peaks cyclo crossers go up and down when they do Penyghent

    I also used my noddy bell at one point but that scene was left on the cutting room floor

    Finally fettled, I took this picture at Huddlesford on the Coventry canal so that Travs wouldn't get homesick - only to find he's currently in Cov. In the spirit of 'something for everyone', the bridge behind is the West coast mainline railway and, if they ever get around to starting work on it, HS2 will run 400m to the left of the picture
    Red, yellow, blue...so subtly understated!

    Ive had the new road bike 2 weeks now, but still not sat on it! Peddles should arrive in the post tomorrow and I had a trip out to buy some cycling clogs today. Not much choice, just the one model so took that.
    With little stock around in the mid range price and popular sizes have to give them a go. But this cycling kit does cost!

    Have you any shorts? No, everyone wears the bib and brace now for the road, we have some starting at £135. Yeah right, I was a tight arse fell runner for 30 years, continue with my running shorts.
    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.

    I had to buy a new saddle for my e-bike. Arse was in bits from the one that came with it.

    Got to give a plug for Arragons in Penrith... i went in there with a blank cheque for the best saddle they had (which went up to £120 i think), and she recommended the £30 one instead, and it's been great.

    Was so pleased with the service i splashed out 80 quid on a helmet whilst there.

    Indeed. One can't have too many high speed railway tracks. I am still mourning Ilkley losing its through lines in the 1960s to become a mere terminus.

    Like Euston.

    Or Matlock. It would be so much easier for me to get to so many fell races if I could get a direct train from Derby to Bakewell, Miller's Dale, Buxton, New Mills Newtown, etc.

    Anthony FYI if you're interested in another attempt at Four Fans (July 10th), then entries open on the Fabian4 website on saturday.

    Usually a relatively low turnout race, but in these days, there might be a rush so if you want a place then i'd suggest getting in early!
