  Ahh I think I did this on one of those Rapha Cross Prestige events. Lovely bit heading Marple way?

  Is there any particular reason why I shouldn't use a headset removal tool to remove a press fit BB?

  My Pfizer jab was downstairs in a hotel gym - no signal. As soon as most people realised they hotfooted out of there way before fifteen minutes had passed, aha.

  Remember reading this article almost a decade ago. Guy certainly had a colourful life (& lots of cocaine I suspect).

  Ahh that's possible. I've got at least three weeks until I'm eligible for the second so will give a week. Just want it sorted while it's at the forefront of my mind!

  Had my first Pfizer jab yesterday - less than mile from my house, perfect. Arm feels pretty dead today but expected that.

  When I booked it, it had the nearest second jab being eight miles - rather annoying. So tried to look if I could get nearer & it's cancelled by second jab appointment. Now the Gov website won't let me book a second jab without booking a first again, which I obviously no longer need, & all the second jab appointments are now a month or two later!

  Does anyone know if I go to a first jab appointment again, will that be okay as my second jab?Alternatively I might just wait the minimum period & try to get a walk-in. A bit annoying as I like to have these things planned & in the calendar.

  Highly recommend the Ben Lawers climb from Bridge of Balgie, & Lairig Lunn Road from Kenknock (opposite direction to @cozey's route, the surface is pretty gravelly). I did a loop taking in both in May, was fab!

  A long weekend of three 100km days & I've managed to join my Leeds & Manchester chunks, & catch a few gravelly ones south of Wakefield. Decent improvement on two months ago. There are no low-hanging fruit left.
