Where are you riding? IIRC at Lee Valley they don't allow computers on the bars in any circumstances, you could maybe place one under the saddle rails. I think @danstuff did that on the forum track day? Even then I am not sure it's allowed.

I know at Herne Hill lots of people have phones, Garmins, etc in jersey pockets collecting data

I think mine was £120 for frame/fork in one colour. He shot-blasted, painted, applied transfers and lacquered over (I supplied transfers).

@Dammit what part of Americaland are you lost in? I don't recall many parts that I visited that are gastronomic wastelands. Even in Alaska I found good eating.

do you need to take your own gloves?

I would take your own gloves or mitts yes.

Did the 08:00 Saturday "intermediate" SQT whatever that means. It was early, but the frost that morning meant I was glad to be riding indoors. Warmup in pairs on the blue, then into a paceline for half lap changes. Two Italian pursuit races, then Sean's game (with most people not watching for the train and just rolling around the top) and finished with a 15 lap devil. Riding in 15 minute blocks meant by the time you were getting warm it was time to come off the track.

I'm thinking that relocating my second stage prove to the fridge might
give more structure. Any views?>

@Dumps, I have been doing second prove overnight in the refrigerator and am happy with the results. Give it a go.

Your commute goes up to 11? Where can I get one of those?

Paging @PaulHollywood. (I have been using no yeast, just starter. After kneading, leave to rise on countertop 4-6 hours, shape, into banneton, then maybe another hour on the countertop then into the refrigerator overnight. Bake next morning)

Bit of a dredge here, but Addison Lee court challenge to being barred from bus lanes rejected.

New track near Toronto for the Pan Am games. Sadly it's an hour drive from the city, so after the games end it will sit unused as it's too far away. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

This a question to me? I wondered that at first but as I went through the loaf there were fewer big air pockets in the middle. I have had some that over-proved and the centre collapsed from the top crust, but that wasn't the case here.

This weekend's effort is about to get devoured with some baked Vacherin Mont d'Or cheese, vegetables and salad. I had been making sourdough just with white bread flour, though this time used 75% bread flour and 25% wholemeal. I think I shall be sticking to this going forward.

You should have some transfers made. At least something for the head tube

Nice work you needed a new project. Are you going to have Jingle ,Jangle decals made? JJ Cycles maybe?

Wind last night indeed was brutal heading SE. I left at 07:00 this a.m. so arrived just as the rain was starting. Tomorrow looks even worse, particularly if you are up north.

Looks like a good result!

Well pleased with that one, though last thing I need is more carbs in my life. Secretly hoping the young 'uns will devour it before I get home.

@inchpincher was looking for some sourdough starter, so I shared some with him and took the opportunity to have another go.

I have done some of these track sessions in the rain and following a wheel and getting a face full of water is no fun.

Good luck. If you spend any time at the track/HHV look for coach Glen as he is working for Paul now and they will sort you out.

I think he wants something with a drilled fork for riding to/from track, IIRC Moda is not drilled?

I did an FTP test at Elite Cycling in Crystal Palace (Paul Mill) and from that we derived training HR zones (never done a VO2 max). It's basically an hour long session built around a 20 minute TT/ramp test with a Powertap wheel on a turbo trainer. Basically did the job for £50 I think it was. Paul coaches some of the people I know at Herne Hill, which is how I found him. I would go back/set up something more regular/structured if I weren't so lazy.

Grr. Wanted to do Inters tomorrow since I have done so little riding but the forecast suggests zero percent chance of that happening

Sadly too small GLWS
