Minerals. They’d all know about the speed bump.

Millsy There are a few climbs in Surrey Hills where there are 500m to 1,000km of 20-30% and I can barely get up those - the rear wheels skids in the dry. That looks horrific.

Vuelta starts Saturday - a TTT - they’re great to watch

Along_the_Wire

TTT is tomorrow which is annoying

Hursty

Sad news about Rab, just after winning as well.

Wonder which jabs he had?

Hursty Wonder which jabs he had?

Jags in Scotland.

Today’s stage in the Vuelta looks a cracker.

Not sure how to react other than lagh

Hursty I got the original email - it was staggering.

Yeah fuck that, I’m out most of the day monday

Thinking of getting a trainer that me an dthe mrs can both use. Watt bike atom or Kickr bike.

Any experience with any of them?

Currently use a kickr turbo trainer with my bike attached to it. Mainly on Rouvy.

The problem is space to set it up. I guess it is an excuse for a garden room

benson Kickr - Wattbike loses accuracy over time - you have to work harder to maintain your wattage

Hursty

Kickr bike > Wattbike atom

Does cost a lot more however

benson

Hursty useful. I mean it might all pale in comparison to the garden room that would have to be built to accomodate it 🙂

And I’d have a kickr turbo to sell 🙂

Hursty

benson Let’s just say if you have the cash there is only one choice.

I use an Atom but it doesn’t touch the Kickr in terms of quality, precision and flexibility

Zwift is constantly advertised on Eurosport

LT42 get the app and get a subscription and never see an ad again - the receptiveness and the frequency did my head in

In other news, I’ve bought a CAAD13 with Ultegra to replace my Canyon Endurance CF CL which is in ruins after being hammered in all sort of conditions.

LT42

Along_the_Wire the receptiveness and the frequency did my head in

Yeah the loop they have the ads on is bizarre. Designed to drive you mental and buy the app for sure.

Paris-Roubaix today - I’m watching the entire race. Reckon Mads Pedersen today - hope for Ganna, but don’t think he’s quite got it for this race.

LT42

Along_the_Wire I saw a pic from the course the other day and it was totally water logged. Should be interesting.

Few crashes in the women’s race yesterday for that reason
