Cheers folks - I'm thinking I should probably venture into a proper store and get the professionals to get me set up. I accept the inevitable fall, but I need to be careful with my knees - my ride position for the initial Norwich venture was all wrong and I have bad knees as it is. I need to get...

Ok - so I need to snap up the shoes, the pedals and the cleats as three items. I'll give it a whirl and report back, cheers.

Cheers Stat Brother - what's the deal with the pedal and the shoes, is it a uniform fit or is there more to it? I've not gone with proper clip ins before, are there compatibility issues I need to be wary of?

How did this thread drop to page 9?! :ohmy: During a drunken rampage on friday night/saturday morning, I made the brilliant decision to challenge my mate Oldham Rob to a race. Brighton to Norwich, The Cycling 2. We rode there in 2014 before the 3-3 draw under Sami, and we're heading back in...

I managed to narrowly avoid being wiped out this morning, why do these things mostly happen in the rain?! I was cycling downhill, easily doing 20mph because it's a long downhill and I was about halfway and I spotted a car in the midst of performing a u-turn so it was at a dodgy angle to see what...

Excuse me for dipping back in gents, but I have a question for folks of geeky wisdom. As a part on my own back, I've passed 2k miles for the year. I know some of you boys do that per month, but I'm happy with it. :blush: When approaching traffic lights of an evening, is there anything a...

Evening Geeks! I thought I'd take a look at the club page on Strava to see how my 200 miles this week would place me. 5th! Crazy numbers being posted at the top of the tree, and remarkable pace too. To AVERAGE 18.3mph having cycled over 300 miles is sensational. Some serious cyclists inhabit...

it's an impressive table, there's no shame wherever you are in there! So much depth to the group and incredible mileage. Strong start to the week there, not exactly out of character! I may pile into a cycle to and from Wimbledon which would get me somewhere close to 110 miles - but it's easy...

I had a quick look at last weeks' NSC cyclists leaderboard on Strava, wrongly believing my 100.8 miles would be significant. My expectations were very off! I only just about snuck into 13th, which shows the depth of the field. Also, I only climbed 4,972 feet! I'm certain that a year ago when I...

I've given them a fair list to start with, but that's enough about Western Road for now.

It's not so bad when you know where they are but it's incredibly dangerous if you don't. There's a proper sinkhole on New Church Road, just west of the junction with Sackville Road/Hove Street, just past the first bus stop. It's a good couple of inches deep and wide. It took significant evasive...

I've watched it through three or four times now, incredible programme. All of the characters are on point, it just all came together. The only disappointing thing is that it didn't continue with the Santos Presidency, but leaving it where they did protected the legacy. Back to cycling - the...

Motogull - very much enjoying the Garmin, I like to track my true weekly distance on Boris - and it keeps me motivated to keep him on the road! Also Stat Brother - The West Wing is a massive shout. You've gone even higher in my estimations than you already were.

15.7mph average speed as well! That's properly rapid. I'm about to start working for Deliveroo, so my milage will increase - I'm not sure if I'll track all of my shifts though, my battery probably can't handle that, you rely on the Deliveroo app itself to track orders etc, so it's a drain on...

I've just added in my 41 miles too, I got confused between Henfield and Hassocks. Again. I ended up having to take a short cut to get to The Amex... Ditchling Beacon. Nightmare, I wanted to skip to Henfield then around to Lewes and back along to the Amex, but instead I end up in Hassocks and...

I was going to tackle the 7 satanic climbs today, but my battery is so unreliable it wouldn't record it - so it's like it doesn't exist! I piled into Stanford Avenue, Bear Road and Wilson Avenue - I still had Coldean Lane, Elm Grove, Ditchling Beacon and the Devil's Dyke to tackle. Anyone...

Get better soon Indurain's Lungs - sounds nasty! Cycling from the Racecourse to Hangleton this morning was a challenge, the wind is all over the place! Boris' road tyres were not enjoying it at all, nearly got blown into a few kerbs and a bendy bus risked me life severely by coming far too...

LEJoG? I just want to lead the way in the NSC League on Strava! :blush: I cycle to work most days - it's a shame you can't record multiple events simultaneously on Strava. I'd like to get the full days cycling in one event, rather than cycling to work and then running at lunch and cycling...

Howdy Stat, I'm stepping off the cycling a little bit at the moment. I'm piling into the Marathon training until that event is over. That said - if there's a specific week everyone wants to try and rack up as many miles as possible, I'll definitely contribute and see how many miles we can...

I'm going to drink so much I'll have water seeping from my pores! The 100 mile cycle added a lot of context in terms of how important it is to manage food/drink intake - concentration can disappear very quickly and that's not really something we can afford! I'm hoping to get the whole thing...
