Exceeding expectations
I picked up a small saddle back from Aldi on Friday perfectly serviceable bit of kit very similar to the Top Peak product but at £4.99 about a third of the price. None branded but OK, exactly what I expected. Imagine my surprise therefore when I opened it up and found, patches and chalk, a multi too...

Worst surface out there is Scotland lane by Frankley reservoir. A few months ago I went out there, took photos and stopped counting at 200 potholes along a 0.7km stretch of road. In the last couple weeks one of the potholes, I say pothole -- it's several metres long, has disintegrated into a ditch ...

Big thanks to Philip for organizing and the rest of the swivel eyed loons for the company. Especially good to see was the first seven or so riders going into Weston in beacon tops, sort of like a lead out train, just in slow motion. I ended up with 118 miles at 16.1. I could get in to this cycling l...

Well done to Keith and Ian too. Have you any further events lined up? I was wondering whether you would consider riding some events 'back-to-back' in order to build resilience. One option may be our Cotswolds Journey combined with the following: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/13-256/ . Both ar...

This has got to be a huge blunder by Pinarello. I can just picture a situation on a club run: Member 'A' arrives on a brand new Pinarello and Member B exclaims, "where did you buy that, from Halfords!", with much guffawing from fellow participants. I would of thought most people would have asked ho...

One the same run I took my newly purchased Madone 4.7. It climbed to rays farm like a mountain goat. It does have the Bontrager wheels which I will up grade, but only because wheels on an off the peg job are never as good as the frame etc. But far from junking them they're going on my other bike for...
