Steve Rodgers replied to the topic Dauphiné weekend – club rides in the forum Club runs 6 days, 22 hours ago
It’s been a long journey for me this year – I’ve been on a few club rides this year but this was the first I’d made it to The G for the ride start and the first time I led a ride this year. It was good to see the other groups at the start and the ride itself was very enjoyable. It had a bit of everything – hills, rolling fast bits, lovely scenery,…[Read more]

Hi folks – please write up your club rides from this weekend.
Did anyone watch the opening stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné? -

Nice one Lee!
Has HHV still got its own accreditation process, or has it been updated to support BC? -

Ride leaders – please write up the weekend rides.
Everyone else – look forward to hearing about your rides.Sorry to hear that we had some nasty accidents this weekend – speedy recovery to everyone involved.
I had a ride myself Saturday and Sunday – was good to bump into G3 at Flanes Wood and then Richard Liston in Plaxtol.
Other than that – a…[Read more] -

Just echoing what everyone else has said – well organised event and a great turnout by all Avanti groups.
Thanks to Tony for arranging – and hope to see the SFA pics of the club at the feed stop.
The bread-pudding at the stop was some of the best I’ve tasted!With the big queue at the start of the event and some delayed riders Chrisses Dines,…[Read more]

Still in recovery mode I managed some intervals on the turbo on Saturday and hill reps around Ide and Toys.
Next weekend CX team champs! Hoping to get out on a club run after that. -

PS – if we survive it this year and get a taste for it – is it something you might like to join a team for on another year? 🙂

Thanks for the advice, Jonathan – all very good.
We’ve been prepping for some time – Rob’s big camper van plus the Avanti gazebo – added side panels to keep out the wind – should see us through.
I’ve a worx portable jetwash with a spare battery – haven’t had a really muddy cx race to test it in anger yet but I’ve been making sure I use it at…[Read more] -

What’s The Puffer?
Freezing temperatures. 17 hours of darkness.Miles upon miles of gruelling terrain. A brutal mix of ice, wind, hail, mud and snow,
and maybe, just maybe, a glorious Scottish winter sunr […]

Thanks for the advice, Jonathan – all very good.
We’ve been prepping for some time – Rob’s big camper van plus the Avanti gazebo – added side panels to keep out the wind – should see us through.
I’ve a worx portable jetwash with a spare battery – haven’t had a really muddy cx race to test it in anger yet but I’ve been making sure I use it at home to clean up bikes after rides.
I’ve 4x 1100 lumen lights with 4x add-on battery backs which I’ve been riding with in the evenings to get used to. Plan was to always have 2 lights+battery boosters on the bike on-course and the others charging when I’m resting. Additional spare lights might be helpful though – once I’ve been through a few more runtime tests at home I might take you up on the offer of a loan for emergency spares- thanks!
I’ve spares of everything, Rob has a full spare bike – a recently acquired 26″ race bike.
We’ve both got a set of spare wheels with ice spiker tyres on, too.
I’ve got some spare brake pads that I’ve not broken in yet but I’ve read about baking them to break in en-masse – tried that? -

Good work all! That’s a shame about Jon as I’ve seen him putting in some amazing efforts on HCs and strava segments this year!
I rode the Catford in 2012 with a 2:26 at 35th place – but the conditions were perfect that year.
It’s an amazing feeling giving it everything and then being lifted to another level by the cheering crowds just as you…[Read more] - Load More
