Want to join again this week but a friend's art show opens tonight so hopefully next week.

Ark building continues in EC2. Hoping our friends at the zoo can line up the animals 2 x 2.

OSR, cupcakes, and all. Thanks for letting me hitch this caboose to your train. Nice evening.

lol.

From the Rapha customer survey:

59. A new cycle clothing brand appears in your favourite cycling magazine/ website selling jerseys made from a merino wool blend and featuring a familiar three rear pocket configuration and contrast armband styling. When you visit their website you find the experience poor but the jerseys are a bit cheaper than Rapha's. Do you:

Should have just asked "What do you think of Torm?"

I think the correct answer is: Sue them

Sorry I have one dia-comp aero stuck in the end of the drop for front brake (there is a pic on my profile page easier to see there than for me to describe).

Don't want to sell my Nitto rando's but thought I would offer suggestion that the tops are very narrow if you have big hands you might want to keep that in mind. They are comfy on the hoods and the drops but I have a hard time staying for long on the top.

Left the house at 06:00 for my normal ride to work. Shorts, sun, t-shirt at that time. Perhaps I threw a curse by putting rain jacket in bag?

posted in the VCC thread would love to see this on the Mercian ride later this year.

Saw that last night after it was posted and thought about 20 minutes before coming to the realization that the missus would kill me and I would have to sell the current Mercian to make room in the stable. Hopefully he will bring it on the Mercian ride. It should defo make the trip up there.

Yes I noticed you over in the jazz thread >>> plugging pharoah sanders, sun ra etc so you are defo on the right track.

I can't see that anyone in this thread has plugged WMFU and specifically the show, 'Fool's Paradise' with Rex Doane that airs on Saturday afternoons. Can listen via the web though there is no podcast. They also archive past shows. Highly recommended for fans of 1960s trash, rockabilly, surf and various obscure sounds.
Rex's page is here

and the archive is here:

the show starts at 18:00 saturdays UK time.

Spent the last two weeks working in Latin America, including several days in Rio de Janeiro. Now I know why that Stan Getz album sounds as cool as it does.

I got the Toshi leather bar tape in the Planet X sale. Not as expensive as the Brooks and nice (but it is thin, I didn't put gel pads underneath and after 40 miles or so with no gloves my hands will feel it).

The power of Art Blakey on Free for All is among my favourite 10 minutes of jazz. The drum solo where you can hear him moanin' and cooking is epic.

PM coming re PW 19T sprocket

An artist friend was asked to decorate/enliven a new Bentley for this year's Gumball 3000 rally. This is what he did.

I have a pair of the deep drop Alhongas (for 57mm to 75mm drops) bought new from VeloSolo but ended up never using them. Very shiny. PM if interested.

Surprised that by now nobody has mentioned the 1966 Royal Albert Hall `bootleg' concert. Like him or not, this is essential listening that I will be enjoying today (especially the electric set).

Picture of the planned Rapha shoe on the web today. Says it's planned for six months from now. Search for the headline `Beyond Spandex: Chic Styles for Cyclists Take Off' in Google news to find the story. Am sure they will be nice but pricey.

Terrifying. Spotted in South London. Amazingly was still there two hours later.

Just hoping I am not travelling for work that week.

Unfortunately for me no room in the stable but tempted to try to make some. Lovely, have a bump.

Great event. We covered 67 miles in a little over 4:30. Big winds on the south of the island. Already talking about coming back next year.
