What do you use the plugs in the cupboard for?

We sent our Miele back, quoted load was 8kg I think so not particularly small but even with a small load clothes we're coming out dirty or still soapy even. The Samsung we went with in the end is great, perhaps a bit louder but saved about a grand!

I kept coming home to find the electricians apprentice with his phone duck taped to his head in a comedy hands free music setup.

I think somewhere in between where I was and where I am is optimal but I get obsessive and struggle.

I'm 6ft7 so at 76kg you can see all the veins in my legs, abdomen etc

I'm a parasail in the wind so I still don't go anywhere very quickly!

Before TCR last year I was about 403w @76kg now I'm heavier at 86kg and ftp @386w. At 76kg I have very little fat to burn so I would feel constantly desperate for food while cycling. Now I'm a bit heavier I don't constantly feel drained and have reserves to burn through.

I'm just not sure many people are interested in mine

I found it a lot easier to maintain focus which meant time passed much quicker. It was a real pleasure not being able to check your phone and just cycle.

I don't think I could fault my Fairlight secan, it's taken everything I've thrown at its and not complained once.

Yeah weather looks good, which has brought up the debate or full goretex or less heavy waterproof jacket!

Yeah me too

The only exceptions I know of are the two Thorns I've had, had to drill the racks out to 6mm.

I've tried 'pizza' dough in it from this recipe. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/02/detroit-style-pizza-recipe.html

There was nothing wrong with it, I just didn't think it was as good as hand kneaded.

OK, could you measure from cleat holes to the back of the heal? Want to make sure that I can bring seats far enough back.

£100 including postage?

I've found grenson come up quite big. I've a couple pairs of boots and they are wearing well.

Not the answer to your question but you could wrap some elastic netting around with the join at the top?

20w wouldn't be an unusual increase depending on how well trained you are. When did you last test?

Riding for 2:15 hours to get 180tss is riding steady at 90% of ftp. I've not tried riding at that intensity for that long but just looking at the numbers makes it look daunting. Which might suggest that your ftp was set too low previously?

I'm thinking about selling my x100s and maybe trying an xt1 or 2?

I think the only difference is that there is a larger Q factor on the cranks and the derailleur is further out to give room for wider tyres. There's a bit of adjustment on a mech which I guess most of the time covers the change and they just want to cover their backs?

Best trip we did on our tandem was in Spain, Madrid to Valencia. Roads were quiet and drivers were really kind!

32 rear and compact front.

Last year I had it all planned by now and was just checking endlessly. This time around I'm not even sure where the checkpoints are relative to each other!
