Every four years cyclists from all over the world come to France for the legendary Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle marathon. They have to ride 1230 km in no more than under 90 hours. A grueling fight against hills, cold and exhaustion. Brevet is the movie about this fight.

Michael (36) completed three Ironman Thriathlons. For the last two years the engineer has focused on long distance bicycle riding. 600 km at a stretch has been his maximum. At Paris-Brest-Paris he wants to go beyond his personal limits.

Sina (37) has lived in Paris for ten years. She participated in Paris-Brest-Paris once before in 2011. She was the fifth-fastest woman then, with a time of 68.5 hours. This time she wants to be even faster – on a steel bike which is the same age as her.

Claus (72) is a legend in the German randonneur scene. 24 years ago, in 1991, he was one of only two German starters at Paris-Brest-Paris. Ever since he hasn´t missed a single race. It is his 7th start at PBP and he is determined that it will be his 7th finish.

@CYOA you seem to have the thumbs down to that idea but I would also add that wood and coal fires are very dusty and that will not go well with a fancy flat screen telly

Yep that was what I mean though 5 ply might be better, the pitch is pretty low too in that location you at not going to get a lot of driving rain so it will be coming straight down if the roof had a better angle then it would make less noise. Also you could pad out the supports with old inner tube so the polycarbonate does not resonate so much. Lastly check the gutters if they are leaking or over flowing that makes a right noise. As I said uPVC doors are just cheap rubbish plus if you take the existing door out you will have to make good around it

Silly_Savage
Hi for the cost of the uPVC door why do you not just replace the plastic roof multi-sheet units generate a lot less noise.
uPVC is a pretty crappy material for doors and £350 is very cheap so not likely to last

Legally you can move the sockets yourself but you need a qualified electrician to certify the work has been carried out correctly. Is this the stud wall for sound proofing? I thought you were going to contact me about that could be a total waste of money if you do not get the detailing right

@JesperXT I would be very careful about touching that radiator. You say building manager why are they asking you to do this and not themselves? You are right to worry that you may not be able to stop it leaking in future you do not have the option to take it off enough to replace any caulking that is on it.

@Cupcakes yes I have built stud walling for acoustic insulation if you want more information you are probably best PMing me there is a lost to it and you can spend a lot and still get sound coming through the wall. Is it sound you are making or that your neighbour is?

Skulls thanks for posting this did not know about the New Cross Folk Club and was looking for something near since the demise of the Glad.

I see from the Facebook page that Leon Rosselson is ill but Grace Petrie is playing instead

Nelson Vails' story is a triumph over almost insurmountable odds. Nelson the youngest of 10 children grew up in the Harlem projects and worked as a New York City bicycle messenger. Nicknamed "The Cheetah" because he was the fastest cat in the jungle, Nelson rode furiously while working, trained in Central Park after work and raced locally on weekends. In 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where he won the silver medal in the individual 1000-meter Match Sprints. Becoming a pioneer for the African-American cycling community, this documentary explores the beginnings of his life in Harlem and his impact on the future generation of cyclists worldwide. It follows the triumph of Nelson’s achievements with the sobering reality of what becomes of athletes after retirement. We see Nelson’s resurgence today as an advocate for recreational cycling and as a role model.
