So what did the bike whisperer whisper. I reckon 56cm + 12cm stem.

I went clockwise and anti-clockwise but no signs of any fixie skidders so I moved on.

The road bike is done!!

From this:

Nice saddle. If you ever want to get rid of it, I'll take it off your hands.

I'll come past on my way up to a hard Hampstead hill session.

looking forward to this.

Anyone know if the big guy is still making an attempt at the record?

I had a blood test and asked for my Haematocrit level. It was 41.8, which is less than it was two years ago when it was 45.3! Typical levels are between 40 and 50.

RBC was 4.6, again less than two years ago when it was 4.9. Typical levels are between 4.5 and 5.5.

Quite disappointing really. I was hoping at the very least for an increase over two years ago.

Thomas de Gent, what a nutter! And Ian Wilkinson of Halfords coming over the line without a helmet, just too crazy!

Cheers, have done exactly that.

No sign of stage 2, and stage 3 has a 'technical fault'. How are we supposed to be inspired by our heroes?

There don't seem to be any links for Sunday's or yesterday's stage yet. Has anyone found them?

Signed-up and raring to go.

Thats better, I won that 20 lapper just to get my hand on them knog lights.

There's the nice NOS ones, Mike should definitely swap them for his Brooks.

I've been looking forward to this!

Catch up on stage one here: http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/Video/default.html?ViewType=5&Filter=101530

Next weekend it comes to London on the same Embankment route as last year, so I'm sure it'll be a good opportunity to watch such heroes as Russell Downing and Wiggo!

I think you'd have looked hotter with the bibs out.

Thanks for another super-duper day. Glad someone managed to catch the Cav moment, if only from the side.

The quality of racing was really good, and it was nice to hear some people talking about how they've been inspired to come to the track more often. Well done to Joe & co for making it smooth and safe! The track days just keep getting better and better, and we always seem to have lovely weather.

Thanks to the generous sponsors for the prizes, I will certainly be popping along to one of Shop 14, Brixton Cycles, Condor or Brooks next time I need to make a cycling related purchase!

Site being 'relaunched later in 2009'.

oh, and remember - maybe take a look at the ride of the falling leaves. good to see you dude

Got my tickets! Last bit of training before Catford I reckon, then will rest for the week.

Is the front wheel a track wheel?

If you're stuck, I have some non-campag ones you can borrow until I need them (months, not days!)

Did anyone else think whatever was going on with his helmet was a bit odd?

Interesting stuff. So if they're of similar efficiency to chains, the off-putting factors are cost, inflexibility in gear ratios, and the fact you have to have a special frame.

I would have thought you could come up with a joining mechanism and 'magic links' of various sizes for these belt drives to resolve the gear ratio problem.

I'm also surprised that they're so expensive, since similar belts have been in every car engine for the last 50 years!
