This will probably come back to bite me but I'll say it anyway, I generally tend to be ok in the heat (unless it goes 35+ in which case ☠️) so I feel alright about how the forecast is shaping up, will slow things down though but should make for some really nice night riding. It would be an absolute result if there's no rain and wind is de minimis.

I have access to multiple other cars

Ouch. What happened?

French fella having a moan across the line?

I don't have an OG Zoa to compare but the lightweight is nicely loose. I'm 185cm/80kg and Large fits perfect.

Danke. Wouldn't get that in a million years. Let's see me get that right at stupid o'clock in bumfuck-nowhere-France deep into PBP...

Picked up a burner musette at Condor, only comes with one super long, non-adjustable strap. Am I being really thick or is this the wrong strap or missing a stabilising strap? I had it in my mind that the stabilising strap would be an additional clip on/off jobby like the lightweight musette. Or is this the right strap and you have to play about with it threading through the corner loops to get the stabilising bit across your chest somehow?!

100%!

This points race is absolute chaos.

Unconfirmed footage of him meeting some mad scientist in Budapest a couple of weeks ago... 🧐

Wait, he only 49 tho?!

Lake MX238 'grav edition'?! There are dozens of us!

All Rapha bits sold

Good to meet you @Sammy_Dodger and sorry you got absolutely soaked!

Why didn't you snap it from the front? :P

I would also opt for an RS4, moot point as I don't have the money for either. I'm trying to scratch that itch by getting an E91 335i though!

Well done, not the easiest day to get a first 200 under your belt!

Oh! To Be in Kent report

Rode this yesterday, I'll keep it short. Was supposed to be introducing @jmg412 to Audax at this one but he DNS'd because he doesn't know how to use chairs.

Muggy, windy day. Rolled out solo and not feeling great after a long week, Dulwich Paragon train rolled past and I kinda stuck with them for a bit until we hit Layhams then I decided discretion was the better part of valour and let them go. Thought I was in for a solo day of pootling (which I was totally cool with), but then, somewhere past Biggin Hill I heard the cheery voice of @WhitleyJay greet me. Chatted for a few kms, he was riding with a couple of Peckham CC members and I joined the group. Pace was pretty brisk and to cut a long story short, we kept going faster and faster, finishing up with an average speed of 27.1 km/h which for me at least is quite frankly ridiculous.

Highlights:

1. Took a chance on a butchers in Tenterden set back from the High St just to the right of that café that sometimes gets used as a control stop, came away with two massive and satisfyingly dense sausage rolls for £4

2. Headwind for 30ish kms between Pluckley and East Peckham, WhitleyJay and I doing the bulk of the work and keeping the pace high, #lfgssexpress

3. Lady pulled up to the Co-op in East Peckham on horseback and asked if someone could get her an ice cream, I was more than happy to oblige!

Great day out, a hard one and my legs are mashed up today. Complete absence of content apart from one pic, sausage roll pockets on WhitleyJay's top tube bag. Epic.

Ahhh... 😅 I'm so slow!

Eh?

I'll take one of the stems if you'll post or can meet near Bank/Cannon Street during the week.

Classy, many congrats!!! 🎉

Excellent! Have you gone for purple hubs? Hope Pro 4/5?!

Been a loooong ol' week, happy Friday!

I was on 32c which came up true on Hope 20Five rims and they worked great for a bit, until they didn't. Might be further upthread but I certainly wasn't the only one with tubeless issues on those rims.

Now running 34c Schwalbe Pro One on 24mm internal Arkane rims, measure 35. 55/52psi. Size is probably overkill but need every bit of comfort for Audax 😅

What tyres and size?

I've got a 56T with 34mm tyres, 172.5 cranks and size UK11 feet, toe overlap not been a problem but then again I'm not Hotlining through traffic in this!
