Is that Jackass Lane? Barely counts as paved!

Do it!

Michelin Pro4 Endurance

Why the threaded headset? Is it for the quill stem aesthetic? I can see that, but adjustment and durability wise isn't at least threadless an improvement? Or is it in service of maintaining skinny tubes look?

Are we doing suggestions yet? I have a suggestion based on this spec.

Yes! So good. Reminded me to post the route for January.

We're going to Rye (and back)!

A little spicy but I'm sure we can do it. The route also overlaps at two different points, meaning if you want to shorten it to a (quite brief) 20 miles or 60 miles then this is easily done.

Am excited for this one.

Ok ok ok need to survey what frames are around

Coffee Golf - Dec 11

Top5%!?! What a load of shit.

OK phew! (kinda)

Weather is not that bad here 😩

Ah well enjoy your Saturdays!

You are sorely missed dude

Yeah I'm out, sorry folks

I popped down to Condor when they were fixing stuff the other. Like others have said it's a great initiative and they are such a friendly bunch. Also apologies for my earlier boneheaded comment about return postage - we all have off days (work has been busy alright)

But another shout-out for the quality and intelligence of their materials. Enjoyed their ss jersey in the summer, material and fit wise it's easily my fav. Now that it's winter tho it's like I've fallen in love all over again - the combination of cut and warm but lightweight materials makes getting out in the cold so nice. I let a friend borrow an older pricey softshell to tide her over while she finds her road cycling feet and it felt like a canvas tarp compared to my albion insulated gilet and jacket. I haven't done a long ride in a few months and was trying to schedule my audaxes for next year and getting a little nervous. Doing a kit check of what I'd need over the coming year gave me a nice bump of confidence thinking I'd be able to stay warm but not weighed down over some of the longer stuff I've got coming up

Right I'm gonna call it on health and safety grounds, I think it's not worth it

Ooof it looks shit.

I'm all out of free Saturdays in Dec so please go ahead if you all fancy another weekend! However if the Greek chorus sing let's ride I'll put on my rain jacket for Sat.

Thoughts?

edit: I'm hearing reports the wind forecast is bad

Yeah I was just thinking this same think. Let me take another look but last I checked it looked absolute pants. I'm not adverse to awful, but if it's going to be awful it should be worth everyone's energy and we should be richly rewarded for our courage.

BTW lovely bike @samrensho

Don't mess with ahead stems, the one piece is very nice. If it's the right dimensions you'd only be spending money on a downgrade

I still feel betrayed you sold this

The ending is really pretty important to what the film is trying to say (which I respect on an artistic level) but it only gets harder to watch as it goes on

Remains the most upsetting film I've ever seen.

Agreed. Or get Bluemels and make sure you've got long flaps.

Obviously it would be great to have you along - but it's a long way to travel for an easy rolling 40 miles

Right it's overall more reasonable now! A lovely climb past the girls school at the start but then some flatter stuff between Crowhurst and Edenbridge, and then Pilgrims and Berry's Green / Downe back to Hays for coffee at Panagua. No more south face of Toys, no Star Hill.

Excited for this. I might make a few tweaks to the route, quite punchy atm

The benefits of riding fixed are many! Although that's probably the biggest one

edit can I add that my fixie is an amazing winter bike
