Can't wait to see this with mud on it.

Heading to the states for two weeks with work. Any saving to be had on the forum's favourite PMs?

Nice quiet climb the Notre Dame. I've never gone past the village square at the top though - can you get down the other side?

Rule 25.4.4

I would guess:
first person across the line on lap 1 = 1 pt and out
first person across the line on lap 2 = 2 pts and out
...
etc.

Enjoyed the pursuit but I think I could have gone harder. I can see that's something that takes a bit of practice and experience.

Reading the rules, it looks as though we would need to petition our 'regional track secretary' whoever that is...

+3 points for:

• "smirking berk"
  
• use of 'simples' to justify argument
  
• thinly veiled threat in the last para
  

Does he wear a bandana?

Very consistent from you though Rob. To within 0.05s of last year's effort!

I could do one side of one slice at a time.

Ace!

Thanks for the advice everyone. That's my Thursday night sorted.

Allemond, c'est bon. Say hello to the girls in the bakery. Also, price fixe menu in the Belgian place is always a good bet if you get bored of campsite food.

Oh, I've remembered what I came to this thread for: West Country Way - anyone ridden it? Planning to do it at the beginning of July and wondered if anyone had tips for places to stay and visit etc.

Oh and another one...

Up the alpe (either the back way through villard reclus, or up the front if you must!)
Down the sarenne
Up the Lauteret
Up the Galibier
Turn around and descend the Galibier
Stop for hot chocolate at top of Lauteret
Descend Lauteret to Bourg.

Top tip: try not to let your forks fail on the last descent and end up spending two nights in the hospital in Grenoble.

Can highly recommend the route of the Vaujany.

Otherwise, a good day to do if you have the car is:

• drive to cafe near top of glandon
  
• descend the croix-de-fer
  
• cross the valley at la chambre
  
• climb the madeleine
  
• drink hot chocolate in the nice cafe up there
  
• descend madeleine back to la chambre
  
• climb glandon from the back
  
  

Just over 100km.

I imagine it will be more aeroz while remaining laterally stiff and vertically compliant. Can't see the weight coming down: that's what they have the e. honda for now.

Yeah Belgium is OK, I guess. You can't get the Thalys. Never had a problem on a normal train, although there's nowhere set aside to store your bike.

Posted such a shite time last year, shouldn't be too hard to beat.
Maybe I'll even dig out that 14T sprocket.

Petroleumvorous Fungus is a googlewhack? But I guess they won't be dictionary words so maybe not.

Best place to buy a dinner jacket / suit? Budget about £250.

I've had the same ex-hire one since I was 15. I never did grow into it.

@Chopsicle - delivered the goods to the end of my road hours after I messaged him!

Yes, 2 in the hub and 2 in the freehub.

Yeah, it's weird. The last run to the rd and first run to the rb were the problem.

Yeah, I had it routed "traditionally" last two seasons and the rear brake and derailleur cables give / gunk up after a few races. Trying to prolong their usefulness. Understand the tradeoff with performance though doesn't seem bad at all now I've done it.
