After the Ben race on Sat and the Chevin fell race on Wed I went for a steady 40miles tonight then a brutal spin class. Strength work.
Was tired after that so went for a Creme Brulee Latte at Starbucks. 14 mile run last night and my legs feel very tired.
Afraid to say Toffer the bike didnt get washed

Tut tut........
Took out my clean bike for a brutal 30 this afternoon, after all, I had cleaned it after it got filthy in the rain on Monday.....(very righteously):wink:
My crosser is still dirty from a few hours trundling around the Peak District bridleways...
I did however do a hillclimb on a very clean roadbike last night... 2nd overall (by one second :-O) 1st lady and I did it again on my foldup bike, on which I was 3rd!!! I won a bottle of ale and am happy
Last night i was very impressed with a nice van nicholas titanium frame . Hmmm i wonderOn another note , does anyone know who has the best deals on groupsets at the minute, campagnolo of course. Bob chicken used to be the man for a good deal.Well done hann on the hill climb.
That sounds horriffic!
Seems to be Merlin Cycles at the moment.

Just as well I didn't clean that crosser
6 hours of playing in the mud and it is now even worse
Needs hosing down at work tomorrow!
Was a good ride, even though I had to adapt and improvise my planned route because of high winds... When I rode over Gospell Pass it was so windy, I nearly got blown off. It also started raining heavily and the clag came down, so not safe to ride up onto the ridge! Managed a decent bit of off road in the lee of the hills though, with road sections to connect them. Last really big ride before 3 ppp cx and considering the fact that I am hungry but not tired, I don't think I have to worry about endurance!

50miles for me very early this morning. Wind was bowing hard making my return journey hard going.
Then a full strip down of the Rourke. Everything off it and a full service. Bottom bracket out and the cups as well. Oiled the BB bearings which is good practice. Its been 4 months since I last stipped the BB out. So if you aint taken yours out for a good while I can promise you it will be full of dirt etc.
Stripped and cleaned and rebuilt in about 90 mins.
Probably £80 at Evans and the like.
Ah Merlin
Thanks Dom. That Record Titanium looks nice.
Trouble is now if you dont buy Ultra Torque its the new Powertorque 11 speed which means about £6000 for the bloody chain tool and puller and other tools you need.
Im after a ten speed ultra torque groupset. Chorus would be fine
