RichM Along_the_Wire cheers, the likelihood of a 50 miler is prob once a year with mates, so not too fussed on that side. Just means I will be twice as slow as everyone else, but it’s all about the booze up at the end anyway!!
Along_the_Wire benson can’t stand indoor training. Too hot and it just seems so much harder - I find it difficult to get the same wattage. I go out in all weather and much prefer it
Hursty So I take it everyone is not surprised the ex Team Sky doctor has been found guilty of peddling performance enhancing drugs to the ‘‘cleanest team in the Peloton’ lol
Along_the_Wire It’s been a cracking classics season - shame about Paris-Roubaix mind, that’s always a belter. Giro starts Saturday - I know most people hate cycling, but for me with three Grand Tours coming up, it’s like 3 world cups every year - fucking love it. Great bit-sized preview: https://inrng.com/2021/04/giro-italia-guide-2021/
Dubman erik That’s sounds like a great idea. Saying that my van is full of tools. Maybe I could find some B&B’s and get some trail maps
erik yeah, indoor trainers are shite, bought my turbo 2 years ago and have used it once…… i’d rather be out in the elements than inside on a turbo…..
erik Dubman we got caught in bad weather one time and just usedAirbnb……. most Airbnb’s in that area are bike friendly too. Know the feeling, mine’s full of tools too, Ali has a camper so we use mine as a bike store and sleep in his usually.

mono-stereo Been looking at mini off road/e-bikes recently. They look like a right laugh. Thinking about pulling the trigger on a SUPER73-RX in particular. Any ridden one?
Hursty This has crept up on me big style, not really followed anything this year but a GT will get me back into the swing of things. I take it Pogacar is still the man to beat?
Along_the_Wire Hursty I take it Pogacar is still the man to beat? The big guns are staying at home and saving themselves for the tour. Simon Yates, Almeida and Bernal are amongst the favourites. Shame, but it’ll still be great
