Great Event, thank you Philip.
Love the photo's and the video. Thanks Charles!

ps. I can walk again now.

I've been wanting disc brakes on my road bike for a long time. The spokes WILL have to change though. Yes, the disc is attached directly to the hub but the stopping force is applied to the tyre (rim), this creates a rotational stress on the wheel meaning that spokes running from near the centre of t...

I just realised that the 'flash' around my new tyres - which normally takes weeks to go - has all gone from just one ride.

PayPal and digital download available?

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind one of these.

Especially good to see was the first seven or so riders going into Weston in beacon tops Sorry I failed on this front. I couldn't find it the night before and gave up as it was getting late. Believe me that I was conscious of this all day. -- A really good ride and like others have said here, thank...

What do you all eat in the lead up to something this big. I've done a bit of reading and feel chicken pasta dishes are a good way to go.

Am I missing anything?

Sorry to hear that Clive will not be able to participate but happy that I get a chance to hurt myself at the same time.

Thanks, Moss.

Dave, you don't have to stop using connect anyway I use both. Just use http://www.garminsync.com/ to share the data for you. It takes under 15mins for titled rides and around 40mins for untitled ones to give you chance to title them before they get pushed out to other services.

If a space becomes available on this I think I would like to have a go. I know I'm likely to die on the way back (tell my family I love them, or the train driver, whichever fits the situation) but I would like to give it a pop if there's a chance.

Thanks, Moss.

You can have Strava automatically be updated from Garmin Connect by using the garminsync.com service.

I use it to keep Strava and Runkeeper up to date. Means I have everything thing where I want it without having to push to several services.
