Signed up for both. What could do wrong

I am tempted to do both - they're only a few miles apart right?

Just entered Catford to make up for not being able to do the Urban Hill Climb.

First organised hill climb - check

Maybe not the place but my seat and seatpost were nabbed tonight from Shoreditch around 8.30pm. I've just started working there and was just having an after work pint.

Is there anything I can do to stop it happening again - fancy seat-post clamps etc?

I used the Pelago with the Ortlieb front rollers (12.5l each) and an Alp Kit dry bag on top. Like @Tijs I wish it had a longer mounting tube but for the smaller panniers it's okay. I'm not sure i'd fancy 40l panniers on there but people do!

In hindsight maybe I should have gone for the Soma Porteur, but at the time couldn't justify spending twice as much. For day to day use I love the Pelago though.

does anyone know if this is happening again this year?

always cheesy chips

I already have a PTTJ which is perfect in low temps

Just bought a shadow jersey in the sale but now thinking I should take it back and get a Gabba. Who's tried both?

Has anyone got experience with Cadence in Crystal Palace? They seem a chunk cheaper than others - is that because the fit just isn't as good?

Why would anyone want fake Alé kit?

You're really ovethinking this which makes it very hhsb.

Okay, dibs. Will PM when I'm out of work

How does one micro nap on the bike and is it safe to do this on my commute?

I did see a guy on a Halfords special arriving at the top of Leigh hill with two flat tyres looking absolutely dejected. Appparently he'd already fixed them earlier on the ride so @hamrack's theory seems legit

Also I reckon statistically it's a normalish amount. If I get a puncture once a year on the way to work thats 1 in 300 chance. Multiple that by 25000 riders and there's going to be a lot of flat tyres.

Did my first Ride London this year. Definitely a mixed bag - I had an hour sleep the night before due to a particular unfortunate bout of insomnia and early start time, and my new seat clamp wasn't doing it's job very well so the post kept slipping (thankfully a mechanic sorted it around 40 miles in). Basically we ended up stopping more and taking longer breaks due to bike woes and tiredness so our final time wasn't great, but Strava moving time wasn't too bad. I was surprised of how slow it all got on the hills - spent most of them trying to safely pass on the right.

Next time I'll double check my bike (no new parts!) and try to cut the stopping in half.

Cycle PS stock the Pelago and SBC stock the Pelago and Soma (maybe worth giving either a call first just to check)

People kept telling me the Madone looked like "Batman's own bike". But once, stopped at a traffic-light, a motorcyclist gave me the thumbs-up, and told me that if Darth Vader WAS a bike it would be my Madone... So I started to call the Madone "Vader"... Custom top-cap conundrum sorted!
