Good stuff, Digger.

fuck - I am after EXACTLY this bike and build (have been looking for ages) - but in a 54.

Dan, I've no idea if this is too old, but might be worth a quick email?

No, what you need is short high intensity intervals. Much more effective per unit time if losing weight is the objective. Lots of anecdote and even some evidence points to this http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=HIIT+weight+loss

Long steady rides are nice for enjoying cycling and the countryside, but for getting fit and losing lard HIIT is the way to go.

mdcc, got any good links to sessions that you like / recommend? I quite like a bit of interval training, but there are plenty of differing opinions about interval and rest leength and length of session etc. For example, unless on a turbo or exercise bike, tabata intervals of 20 sec isn't that managable. However, rowing ergs, elipticals, lend themselves to controlled interval training really well.

Nothing heroic just long and steady. .

Cliveo, are you confusing your lovemaking with your cycling again?

Acquitted.

Amanda Knox - guilty? About to be released? I am intrigued by the whole affair, and entirely undecided as to whether she done it.

Sorry fuck wit phone post above. How about this:

I've not got round to making a for sale thread yet, but might it do the job?

Thanks, that's very useful. I'm still not sure a 750 mile tour in October is feasible with just a saddlebag, hip pouch and top tube bag but I like a challenge.

Hi Tricity,

I lejoged in 11 days this sumer with a carradice saddle bag and topeak tri bag and bar bag and was fine. By the end, the bar bag was little more than a glorified map holder, and its carrying capacity was surplus to requirements. Next time I do any real distance, it'll be saddle bag and tri bag only. A bit of brutal / honest packing means you really don't need that much stuff at all.

With saddle bag, tri bag and hip pouch i'm sure you'll be fine. Actually, are you planning to camp or B&B? We stayed in B&Bs / YHAs and this made things much easier.

A lovely frame, have a bump.

Thanks, Soul.

I want this. It's a black chrono version of my current beater.

That is all.

Hippy, got linky?

Scoot, If you want a top to ride in with some functionality, why not consider either one of the Surface hoodies - casual, windproof, some waterproofing. Or for classic cycling chic, a Tudor Sports top? I am rather fond of mine, it is fine for general usage, and at £40 direct from them a snip whilst supporting a small UK company.

Neither are exactly unltimate riding jackets though.

8km to go, much more exciting.....

I can think of plenty of things to do before I get the tt out....

Seeing as you're in Deptford, Mr Hedge, I'm in NXG and haz one you can borrow for a while if you want. Lemme know.

Whatever you think, the mate who was seeking advice has taken the plunge. I'll get some feedback once he has taken delivery and put in a few miles.

Don't worry, Branwen, you were into them before they were cool. Also, from the pic, I thought it was a rubber strap. Not sure I'm as keen with leather. That's one less person to worry about!

Has anyone had any experience of Verenti bikes? I have been asked by a friend about them. He is engaged in the usual C2W bike buying.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/verenti-millook/

Of the two, the Millook seems to be a fair buy at £900. Decent enough gruppo and wheels for a starter with an ever reliable mix of alu / carbon. However, I'm not that au fait with the brand.

Anyone have good or bad things to say about them?

Branwen, do you have a link to the watch that marky ^^ has quoted?

I've found this:

But not with the same strap.

They have removed New Cross gate......

Which bit / where was changed Mr Skulls? Do you mean the besson st / bit round by the montague etc? I loathe the loop of Amerham Rd / Lewisham way / New Cross Rd, esp if you are riding West. The obvious place to be is in the left lane after the Amersham so as to head for the buslane, but then fast moving left turning cars heading for Lewisham way tend to cut across agressively as you begin to flow round to the right. If you position yourself on the right at the lights, then the traffic often flows either side of you which tends to be fairly unpleasant as well.

On an unrealted note, as an SE cyclist, do you agree that the new bikelanes on Southwark Park Rd / Grange Rd will be fucking awful once installed?

A nice little collection:

Any plans for UK sotckists? Tops, I can live with, but trying on jeans and shorts first always makes sense.

Anything take your fancy?

I'm undecided as to whether this is something I would use, or gimicky and foul:
