Today's Bike Ride

[Hanneke]

Wise man daz! Better safe than sorry!!!

I was on the turbo on Sunday and Monday and had a rest day yesterday. Today it is all back to normal, so my MTB session in Bristol is going ahead Picking up my bike and go ride it

I've taken the Spinning Class option this week... got blown of my feet running on Monday night... wouldn't fancy it on a bike at all. Just got a new cross bike though... just training wheels on in pic, have got a nice set of Citec 6000 CX carbon tubulars for racing.

VERY very lovely Nikalas!

Have you had any cross bikes with discs to test yet? I'd like one for 3 peaks, but only if it comes with hydrolic discs and I have been told that they are not available yet for cross bikes?

£1500 for that spec with the Mavic Askium wheels.... comes in at 8.74kg (58cm).. with the Citecs on it'll be hovering around 8kg I reckon

Not yet... a lot of manufacturers/racers have been slow on the uptake as they've been struggling to get fork weight down while still staying stiff enough under braking. Hydraulics and STI's are a while away too but there were a few after market adaptors popping up at EuroBike.

Hann, a friend is doing the 3PCX on a new Boardman with Avid BB5 cable operated disc brakes. They seem very good, although not quite as good as the BB7's on his Surly Karate Monkey

Bet Hann's got the cleanest windows in Wales!

Cmon Hann did the Tour pass by the chapel today ?

[Toffer]

Bypassed the Dutch border region of Wales and banged straight through the Beacons, Storey Arms over Penderyn moor, bet they nailed that at over 40mph with a following wind, brilliant road and it's only a bit downhill. Down the valleys and over Caerphilly mountain for a punchy finish. Crowds heaving on the top of the climb watching the boys suffer as they raced over the top, utterly brilliant, then 50 mph + back down for a world champion finish. Great day, fab spectacle:thumbup:
