Would love to get involved, finally. But if the ride fills up and a regular TNRC rider needs a space, I'll stand down.

Well, I am flabbergasted, but I managed Gold again! I've always beeen a silver/bronze type rider.

Have to say, this forum has helped me a lot, in that I understand my bike a lot more.

Just had to fix the list. Charlotte is the name of my lo-pro (Lottie the lo-pro). There is no lady in my life...."sigh". :-)

If you are serious, it's worth seeing a financial advisor. They will look your financial situation and be able to give you a realistic view of what you can afford and what steps you need to take in order to get on that ladder.

Did the Sunday Sportives Dunsfold event today. Tough ride over 125k. Not too many big hills but lots of up and downs plus the tight lanes of Surrey. Stunning route, but one which made for slow(ish) riding. It got quite sketchy at times and often it was difficult to get grip up the slopes. Had a very close call with a car. If the guy in front of me had not yelled 'Car!' it would have been a lot worse. Phew!

It was well run, by same team who do the Southern Sportive and I would recommend it.

Nice to see a rugby star getting involved too....Josh Lewsey.

Waiting with baited breathe for the results. Thought I had missed Gold, so I slowed down near the end, but my mate reckons I may have scraped in. Moral of the story is....never slow down.

That weekend should be cool, either day

You're on! It's my hill climbing that lets me down.

Glad to hear you had another great ride.

Shoots, just so you know, I wasn't tucked up in bed until 10.30pm. Rock 'n' Roll!!

Thanks so much for the messages of support!!

Reckon this one will be a bit too tough for me to get Gold....but I'll give it a crack.

Ha. Looks like I'm doing Exmoor alone.

Well, apart from the other 999 competitors. It has had a huge uptake.

Got the ped treatment from another cyclist this morning. He rlj'd a ped crossing at Aldgate, clocked me coming round the one way system with the green light and cycled into my path. Happy days.

She didn't have a flute about her person by any chance did she?

"And there was this one time......"

The ride times have been published on DP website. Nice to see TNCR represented. :-)

Someone rode for the HTFU CC...interesting

Has anyone signed up for the Beast of Exmoor on Nov 1st?

Exmoor weather, November and 8000 ft of climbing.

It seemed like a good idea back at the beginning of summer.

:) Sudocrem is great for razor rash too

Ouch. Same happened to me on San Fairy Anne ride with new Santini bibs.

My first gold standard..3h 55mins. Just pipped by Jonny and Shoots...very nice to meet you both.

Fantastic riding weather compared to 2008....although last year's conditions were great laugh.

Legs were shot at the end. Gawdamn hybrid rider overtook me on the last hill up to Crystal Palace. Oh the shame.

Crikey, one that it actually disconnected...which is the correct state. You just need to connect it with finger pressure. But where to? Hopefully this nice bloke can make it a bit clearer...

Rocksteady, if the filling loop is not on or near the boiler, follow your pipes down until you find it. It may be hidden nicely behind units. Mine, for example, is behind my washing machine which is directly below the boiler. I have to shift the washing machine each time I need to re-pressurize (the boiler), which is a right pain.

This is the manufacturer's website, with a good fault analysis section. You just need to know which model you have.

Tube strike declared for Mon 5th Oct

When one of my 105 shifters broke on a previous bike, I baulked at the cost of a new set! I managed to find one being sold individually on ChainReaction for £40.

Very interested if still available...pm'd
