Stronglight Track 2000 for £34 on P-X

I wouldn't be able to comment on the route you linked to, but will keep in mind for the future :)

280 miles is no mean feat, you're essentially looking at a 24h ride. For audaxing purpose I use 20kph average with breaks at a rule of thumbs but your mileage may vary.

Other coast to coast inspirations:

• Three Coasts 600 (hilly)
  
• East & West Coast 600 (less hilly)
  
  

Both are 600 but it should be possible to shorten them somewhat by "flattening" the loops if that makes sense. I did the 3 coasts and the route was cool. They will probably happen next year too if you're keen!

Rode to Suffolk during Saturday night, then did the Waveney Wander 100 during Sunday. Very cold night with the temperature hovering around -1, -2 C, bit sketchy towards the end with frost and perhaps ice on the road (I didn't go out of my way to check...), ridiculously nice day afterwards. Good company too with @jaeyukdapbap and @Ruserius. That was a good day.

Just saw it and yours as well in the flesh 1h ago, they look rad!

Aha, pretty positive it wasn't YAL :)

Well thanks, will say hi next time!

Mad skills by a guy on a brakeless silver Aventon on New N Rd next to Shoreditch Park this morning. Ellipse wheels, possibly Black Rainbow Project hip pouch. Did a skid on my left in front of a double decker, then squeezed between said double decker and the car behind it. Much wow. Must be on here surely?

(I was on a blue canelli frame with yellow bar tape)

This pretty much ticked all the boxes

• long and painful slog to the Red Lion
  
• lovely evening in good company
  
• manic ride home trying to keep up with Matt
  
  

Thanks!

I recall a big enclosed garden being mentioned. I'll bring mine because it's in the backpack so we can share if you want?

@Mikey5000 @middleofnowhere should we relocate Norths for this evening?

@bsb will be interested in calipers and possibly other bits too.

Or ride with @Ruserius and me to Suffolk on Saturday night, that's bang on 200 (Waveney Wander 100 afterwards optional).

Ride to Cambridge and back? Something like this maybe: https://www.strava.com/routes/11096790

Make sense, thanks!

Do you reckon this could be run with a non-thread headset/stem? If so and pending measurement of my frame I'd definitely take this off your hands.

@youramericanlover will you be riding from Old Street? If so at what time?

Could be interested by the veloflex, what size are they?

I'm afraid I'm saving myself for Thursday.

Ha, that's an interesting take. Will try, thanks :)

Just tried a pour over of the Shalaitu Ethiopia at work. It was seriously amazing, and I'm left wondering if I should just go ahead and make myself another cup :)

Interestingly the aeropress I tried at home on Sunday was not so great. Maybe I'm not doing it properly or maybe this coffee doesn't work well with in an aeropress? (tried inverted with ~20gr of coffee, 50 mL of water for 30 sec, + 200 mL for 2 minutes)

Thanks!

I'm definitely doing it, weather allowing. I'll be based in South-East France (Drôme) between Christmas and NYE so could either do it little by little or in less, bigger ride(s). We'll see.

Monthly donation set up too :)

It seems to be the plan. We could probably do a group ride or something.

Starts on the 26th of July.

I should really start looking properly at the calendar for next year.
