  O I C. Yeah that's a big first day considering. What you have already might be better even if less scenic considering your going to ITALY

  It is! But not unreasonably so. I would suggest gears for more fun but certainly doable fgss

  @giofox88 I know this is a crazy old post but I'd go for this route - you don't have to go all the way to St Margaret's Bay. Tbh this is the way to get to Dover http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6029489

  Al? I dunno, I am terrible with names. Nice to ride with you, good #dadchat and #bikechat

  @jaeyukdapbap for future reference here's the nice way to get out to Ingatestone - ignore the first bit where you leave from my office: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/22346864/e­dit

  And thanks again as always to @middleofnowhere for leading and @Rod_Munch for the beer. I'm pretty sure I now owe you many beers

  @amey loves gear chat even more than I do. I haven't ever even hear of tannus tyres (though I have heard of 48x18 ;)

  From a review: "I’ve purposefully rode in areas where before with ‘normal’ tyres id get a puncture or slip out. They’ve stayed true they haven’t changed in their ability to roll or to hold grip so all good there. BUT when going round corners at around 25/30 kph the back slides out and feels a bit weird."

  So at around 16mph+ the rear wheel is going to slide out? I think we're just trying to offer constructive criticism (except for @amey) of tyre choice...

  I have put a deep carbon wheel on my beater. I'll put myself on the front this evening and put the hammer down. If I work really hard we should arrive at the pub in just about the same time as always #welwyngardenbreakaways
