If hard wiring you shouldn't go greater than 50 meters without a repeater/ switch. but virgin routers suck anyway, you have to use their router to connect to their network but you could run a cable to a more central point in the house and then connect a router here, using that as your wireless/ connection point.

** apparently networking has improved since I did my networking+, he seems to be correct the max distance it 100m

By the sounds of it they have, the stay back sticker was covered. and the new sticker was advisory, not instructing.

What's wrong with that?

pasta on the road is doable, Tupperware!

Dunno which is worse the cable I posted last time or the guy who's copied him but used a Dlock to attach the wheel to the frame:s

lol when you gave him the D did you explain the game

No but he's on my short list for a touring frame ATM so I'd also be interested

Misremembered as a list of stuff CW was taking not in CW's bag/pocket

Chorizo
Bagel full of whatever I feel like when getting it maybe 2
Bag of Crisps
Random stuff in supermarket sausage rolls?
Flapjacks
Drink tablet things to add to water bottles

A powerbar or two
Kendal mint cake
Gel if one tastes ok

Newsletter :S

get him to cook up a massive vat of carbonara or something like that, the fat and carb combo is ideal after a ride

to be fair, you can still be scientific about what you eat whilst eating natural foods. I'm not against gels I just don't like them, they sit funny in stomach and don't stop the hunger even though their providing the nutrients. However, knowing what is contained in the food I eat and following the same guidelines as the gels in terms of what the body needs to replace is just as beneficial and works better for me. It's still just as scientific

really need a social ride but stuck running a charity stall for work all Saturday, what are you guys doing pre dynamo?

Looking for some ideas for the DD of what to take. At the moment I'm thinking some of everything along the sports food type shelf in evans or whatever and then some chorizos, a roll, crisps, flapjacks and just like a more normal food packed lunch to get away from weird gels and stuff I'm sure is packed with e numbers and chemical shit.

Also is there like an optimum time for eating before? I'm kinda hoping to have a lazy day with a sleep in the afternoon but make sure to drink plenty of water so when I start I'm well hydrated. Don't want to eat too late or too much or anything and give myself a crippling stitch or whatever the nice side effects could be.

I'm sure someone will make an obligatory "it will be fine" post but still.

for me 100 miles is: a pocket full of trail mix, some fruit and nut flapjack or oat biscuits (home-made, so no transfats/sugars) and a high five 4:1 water bottle.I eat a bowl of porridge with honey an hour before and something fatty and warm after.

that's not including water/ electrolyte drinks

unless you have a really wide stem you should have enough space to mount a brake before the bar goes aero

lol my bad brake**

Lots of money to have it crashed, not to mention harm myself and/or others in the process.

Like I said, after the bike gets put together, it will be 'backroad' test rides, it won't take much to see will I manage without or should I put it in garage for another month until front brake gets ordered and fitted...

Brakes thread thataway >>>

Your going to want a break for the first few times you hit a steep hill, descending can quickly get away from you if your not used to it

Just as it started to fruit my lemon tree had got mealy bugs :(

A note that I made for myself at the end of the ride last year, I kept it aside to remind me for this year:

Get the map at the start, towards the end people spread and many don't know where they are going. You don't want to get lost and have to go back.

Even if the weather forecast says that there are 15 degrees do bring an extra sweater and a waterproof jacket.

Take a power nap towards the end. 20 minutes will make you feel reborn

base layer is lighter and a nap mid ride is an awful idea after a distance like this keep the legs moving at a steady pace

Winamp was awesome, unless you had a massive archive of music, then it would insist on indexing every file on start up and would just hang until complete

The Thorpe park ride elevation profile looks nice lol

that cue sheet seems detailed enough too :)

if someone has a cheat sheet I wouldn't mind a copy to print, else ill just be following the flashing red trail XD
