Are you quite young Stu? When I bought my first (vinyl) record I only had the choice of vinyl or cassette tape!

I made some cycling bread. It was like banana cake but without the fat. And it was disgusting

Anyone know anything about The Little Tea Shop? Specifically, is it any good, and is it open on a Sunday?

Used to go there a fair bit, was alright but nothing special. Worth a visit anyway

If this stuff isn't available easily in the UK there's no point.

Actually, the point is that a lot of energy drinks are harsh on the teeth due to the amount of acid in them. And that Sukkie or something similar needs to be made available in the UK.

that sukki stuff thats only available in australia is the winner as it's less harsh on the teeth due to the low acidity

If I had one i'd give it to you, DO NOT WANT!

It's not the looks that I like, it's the comfort. Seriously the most comfortable saddle I've ever had, well worth the £55 I paid for mine

WANTED: Selle San Marco SKN saddle, as if anyone would be mad enough to part with such a wonderful seat.

I'm looking at http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=uk+topographic+map&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&oe=&rlz=&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x25a3b1142c791a9:0xc4f8a0433288257a,United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=p&ei=XRYOT9jjDNG4hAfJ5L27BA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ8gEwAA
and thinking it looks horrendously hilly. Am I the only person who thinks headwind+hills+12 miles more than a century=a lot of hard work?

What would Jens do?

on the other hand its nice just to get out the house and ride straight away

This sounds good. Is there a handy sustrans or ctc route that joins the two? who's got ctc membership and can search their routes?

I think so, I have a cycle network map, can't remember what number though

Train back is a bit of an anticlimax as youre stuck in a cramped seat after giving your legs a battering

buy.. can i come take a look sometime?

another note, I'm after a BMX stem if anybody has one

Build one out of Lego™

If you want to ride 100 miles you need to do 120 really. Aberystwyth to Brum is perfect for that

ANyone got 27.2 seatpost? Black ideally. Condition not important

Yes, pm me

It's been really warm and dry today. There should be a lot of people out.

Bit of a statement chap, last person that said a similar thing to me got shown who's boss.

I know it's a bit of a statement. I made it because I can back it up*.

*In March. I'm still base training at the moment

Do a few sessions on the rollers though and see what difference it makes, I went from mid pack to very fast through by doing short intervals on a turbo. I can get it back* fairly quickly too with a week or two's worth of TT sessions.

• Not at the moment as I am recovering from a discectomy op & I can barely walk let alone cycle yet.........soon though.
  

I normally do 30sec spins as fast as possible on the rollers during the race season, not really a normal part of my training and I'm not sure if it gives much benefit for racing, but it's just something else to do. Haven't actually measured my cadence though. Might train a bit and give it a go - would be interesting to see if I do alright given that I never trained for any roller race I've done.
