Can you put me down as a possible please Phil
Great ride last year and the memory has almost faded enough to convince myself I should do it again.

Count me in if i'm here, the last one was great fun. I remember car drivers wondering what the hell was going on as they approached a large group of cyclists lit up like a Christmas tree. The parts where you drift off a bit then remember where you are are an experiance :shock: Plus i want to see the...

To be fair, I get very little flex in my Ti frame, far less than I ever got in the Roubaix i had before and a lot less than my kinesis 4S winter frame.

As long as he keeps that rack on I'm bringing a bungee cord

One for the possible list please, need to check dates.

It's normally caused by vibration from the back of the pads the same as vehicles. A thin smear of copper grease on the back of the pads where they contact the pistons normally cures brake squeal. The cause isn't normally the contact surface between pad and rotor so boiling cleaning etc will have no ...

Went down it this afternoon, it is now a thing of beauty.
Bring on the better weather for PB's on Strava

Well done Mr Weaver, I admire your tenacity !

Good man, I knew you'd crack eventually
Count me in.

Thanks for the welcome Gents, It took Alan about 4 years but he finally got me here !
Will check the calendar for the audaxes dates and hope to ride the Clee to Heaven.
Looking forward to riding with you soon.

I hope to join this too as my first club run with the Beacon.
