I am in full support of the 20 mph speed limit - I believe it will make roads safer and encourage more people to cycle and walk in the City

Barry
Glad to see you weren't hurt by this - but as you say it's unnerving when a passing motorist appears totally unaware of your presence on the road

Dave

David Cole

Thanks everybody
I was just hoping I could give it a quick tweak with a £7 spanner and everything would be ok.

Chris
Can you have a look at my question about a loose Shimano bottom bracket
Dave

David Cole

It's 7-8 years old but I don't think it's a loose crank - I'll have another look

David Cole

Shimano 105 bottom bracket

I noticed yesterday evening that there is some side to side play in the cranks.

Does this mean I have to get a new sealed bottom bracket?

A good turnout for a cold dull/wet windy evening.

Re wattage calculations - I forgot to add the weight of the panniers full of groceries on my shopping trip.

David Cole

Ian and Keith
Good to hear that the trip is going well in spite of the head wind. I cycled into that headwind yesterday on the way to Bournville - a distance of almost one mile from my house. I complained bitterly, perhaps if I had to ride 1000 miles into it I would get used to it

All the best

Dave

David Cole

Congratulations Chris and well done everyone who did this event.

Bob Green has volunteered to do the timekeeping on Wednesday, but he has not done it before.
