what a knob.
And didn't Ultan Coyle complete TCR 2015 on a full on TT bike?
Ignorance and idiocy, ugh.

No worries, at le car park now, happy to wait.

Paula Regener has scratched from TAW, with bike fit issues causing stabbing pains in her legs.
It's a shame, hope she gets it all sorted and gets out to some other races this year.

Awesome! Look forward to it.

Actual yes. Very much up for it. Chingford at 11am?

Too much on this year for a race (well, and the training etc).
Hoping to do something next year, hopefully MTB.

True, BP and BL seem to do quite well without sleep though. Don't know anything about Luke Allen.
Of course, it's one day in and 50 miles might is definitely catch-uppable.
Will be very interested in scratch rate this year.

After just under 24hrs of TAW17 Bernd Paul, Bjoern Lennard and Luke Allen are around 50 miles ahead of the next closest racer.
Paula Regener in 6th, really excited to see how she does this year, she's suuuuuper strong.
Emily Chappell a little further back, been having garmin/routing troubles according to twitter.
A lot of people on their way out to Malin Head, first hilly bit of the race, seems a lot of them stayed in/near Derry last night, possibly hoping to dry off a bit after the rain yesterday.

would watch!

Airshot inflator is a++.
Got my v stubborn Gravel Kings up no bother. 140psi and the valve core removed and they snapped in place nicely. Just the juggle to get the valve core back in can be a bit stressful...

Oh fuck
I slept in. May come out to epping in a bit but head off w/o me.

Seems so! There's a showing of Rider and The Wolf and SBC, and then there's this ride leaving from sbc at 12. Not sure who's actually on it bc sbc haven't posted on any of their channels. Link

Have to work >:(
Will be on the SBC ride on Sunday though (leaving SBC at 12)

weight on the bike just turns into muscles in your legs, besides, more weight means you go downhill faster anyway!

I've always loved that feeling, been using the horrible red hill at the bottom of the bomb hole as a barometer fro my strength recently.
Really looking forward to racing with you!

Things near me have a habit of exploding.

fix'd.
re: fast and loud though, how loud are these tubeless inflator things? Is it the kind of thing I can do post 9pm in a first floor flat?

After over a year of coveting I have ordered an airshot infiltrator inflator.
Will report back with findings.
(I love gravelkings, but they are stubborn going up without tubes).

yeee boiiii.
You'll hear me coming from the sound of my knees popping.

nothing's real, man.

Anyone up for some bank loliday shredz on monday? I'm working all weekend, need tyre on dirt action at some point.

It's good for the price. If I could afford it I would upgrade to a remote but that's for another time.
I do find the crotch drop annoying. Not so much for dropping the post, but more for raising it again, standing up off the saddle, with one hand on the bars, and possibly pedalling (say trail goes suddenly uphill) is a bit sketchy.

i have a pair of the velo orange clamp on saddle loops you can have for £5 if yr in ldn.
Lemme know and I'll try n dig them out.

Singular Swift is a nice option, my Marin Pine Mountain is pretty ace in general though is 650b+.
A lot of 2016/17 rigid bikes seem to be 650b+ rather than 29er it seems.

Pictures should be fixed now! (was trying to embed straight from google photos, oops!)
