Re: A Run Sunday 22nd January: Bishampton: 62miles
Hi all
I have been out this morning and it’s not good on untreated roads. Tomorrow is forecast to be 1-2deg colder so I will not be out tomorrow and will lead the ride next week in stead.
Sorry, if you go out take care!

Sorry but I won’t be out tomorrow due to the road conditions (ice on untreated roads) - I will plan to lead the same ride next week instead.
If you do go out, take care!

My mate has had a similar problem recently....after changing the cable and cleaning it was no better. Tried another wheel and cassette but still no luck. Finally changed the derailer itself and the issue is still there!! Set it up correctly and after moving up and down a few times it starts to skip....

Dragon Ride - Sunday 5th June
Myself and Barry Evans rode the short 120Km (actually only 70 mile) Dragon Ride yesterday. My time was 3.31.50 (ride time 3.31.10) and I finished in 7th place!! (7 seconds faster and I would have been 5th) I averaged 20mph over the 70 mile course with just under 1300M of climb. Barry came in about 1...

You can use a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette but not the other way round as the wider 9 speed chains will not sit properly on the narrower 10 speed cassette ! The problem you have is that the 10 speed shifter is set to the 10 speed cassette spacing (and you cannot adjust this) so will not be c...

Worcestershire and South Cotswold 300 – July 12th 2008
Demanding, scenic event that few have finished with many steep, narrow and poorly surfaced roads used. Last year's ride was flooded out and no-one reached the Cotswolds! In 2008 will there be 10+ finish for the first time in 9 editions of this event?
Total distance 300Km
Total Ascent 4275M
STAGE 1 Droitwich to Teddington
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage1
Length 36.6Km,
Stage Ascent 284M
We starting a little late @ 7:15 behind circa 12 riders, not sure if any others started. The weather was fine for the relatively flat first stage. A nice quite start to warm up and stretch the legs.
Control 1 was at well stocked Esso garage.
STAGE 2 Teddington to Dursley
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage-2
Length 71.9 km
Stage Ascent 1450M
Let the pain begin……this stage was twice the length of the previous but more than 5 times the amount of climbing…. Our early hopes of a finish in the light were already taking a serious hammering as the steepness and pure number of hills started to take its toll. The sight of the café in Dursley was a welcome sight for a much needed jacket potato – a third distance complete – ride time so far - 5H 15min.
STAGE 3 Dursley to Box
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage-3
Length 51.1 km
Stage Ascent 1049M
Literately 20 yards from the café the hills started again…..a lovely 20% gradient for ½ mile (or it seemed like it!) – we even saw Trevor’s beans on toast for a second time! The route to Box was stunning good…….unlike some of the “roads†which is the loosest definition of the name – pothole city & mud. Arriving at the control – this time a pub – was again brief respite from the constant hill after hill.
STAGE 4 Box to Cirencester
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage-4
Length 57.5 km
Stage Ascent 671M
A few more hills up to Castle Combe was followed by some welcomed flat terrain through Tetbury and Stroud with the run in to Cirencester the only main roads used all day…..unusual to see traffic again!
STAGE 5 Cirencester to Ashton Under Hill
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage-5
Length 44.2 km
Stage Ascent 547M
Time of Day: 18:47 - Another relatively flat section through Chedworth, Hampen, Whichcombe, gretton and Great Washbourne.
STAGE 6 Ashton Under Hill to Droitwich
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/300Km-Audax-Stage-6
Length 37.9 km
Stage Ascent 274M
Into the night…..it became apparent early on in the day that we would need light to show us the way home….thanks to Lee and his dynamo the last stage was a relatively uneventful trek through Pershore back to Droitwich and the finish line for some welcome Pizza, chicken salad and trifle 
Ride Summary
Total distance 300Km
Total Ascent 4275M
Total Ride Time 15 Hours 10 Minutes
Overall organization was excellent with plenty of food and dring both at the start and on completion of this tough 300Km.
Comprehensive route sheet - but I'm glad I had my GPS to guide me!
Already looking forward to next year 
