That is why Merry was referring to my aching/screaming quads... I hardly ever run and when I do. it hurts my quads

Been in the 40+ age group for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages and well wrinkly, ask Merry

I avoided your persistent advances in he past cos' I thought you were you were nobbut a child - but dating a glamorous gran- hmm. I shall ask merry if he if has finished with you and let you know if I have decided to take you up on your previous kind if desperate offers.

Best wishes

Any of you fellow deviants ridden the thing on a singlespeed? My only cross-like bike is a fixed Pompino (currently with road tyres). Because I like it, not for any hair-shirt puritanical reasons.

Now I know this would make a fine 'singlecross' bike with a freewheel and smaller chainwheel, both of which are in the shed ...but I don't want to die on this thing. I'm under no illusions about doing well, beating the cut-offs and avoiding old ladies passing me would be good.

I know it's been done lots of times on singlespeed (and fixed even) but still, what do you folks think?

[Hanneke]

I would not know, I am new to this lark... and I have gears. I am however an old lady, so you better make sure you stay ahead of me, whatever you decide to do

[trilathon]

as you say, if you don't mind being slow on the road, and maybe walking a bit further off road, I don't see a problem...except in choosing the best compromise gear/ inches

all sorts of fitness levels on all sorts of machines jus turn up and get round ( within the rules ofcourse ) so you'd probably have company and 'feel in the race' though to be frank, half the attraction of such a course is in negotiating the topographical challenge so who cares if you're alone...the challenge is probably enough....wouldn't fancy it myself though

if you finish infront of me i'll be gutted
