    sorry to see this, I would avise getting yourself checked out though, just to be on the safe side. It seems that the biggest danger in cycling is now external factors outside the riders controll- pot holes, other road users, wayward pets, pedsestrians, all combining to make life hazardous for...

    Today I have had to make the (for me) very hard decision to stop riding. Cycling has been a major part of my life for the past 15 years, and after 58 000 miles, has become part of who I am. Its my exercise, my thinking time, my "me" time. Its my social life in part, and it has kept me sane in...

    Well, what as difference in wind conditions, almost at the time I posted this the wind completl;y changed, and what a huge difference it made to riding over the weekend. I actually enjoyed all of the rides without battling against an incesant head wind. Hopefully the wind will remain in this...

    Anyone else getting really fed up with this seemingly constant wind, whicheverway I cycle it seems to be a headwind. There seems to have been no let up for weeks and weeks. If not for the wind it would be perfect cycling weather, but its taking a lot of the enjoyment out of it, at least for me...

    was another great ride, pretty hot out there though, everyone was back by just after 3.00pm so everyone should have been able to see the final. Found out that there were plans to postpone it till Sept had England got to the final. If anyone hasn't done this ride, its well worth it, Its the old...

    I think its easy to get caught up in the numbers and stats etc , for most of us I think we are all out to enjoy the ride, maybe get to (maintain) a fitness level, push ourselves a bit, but effectively apart from those on "serious" training plans with specific goals, do we really care too much...

    I have Garmin edge 800, he has a Garmin Edge 810, Not sure how they work out elevation during the ride, it may be air pressure which would cause all sorts of problems if there is a weather front moving through whilst you riding. I haven't really checked once the rides have been uploaded to the...

    Strava does some strange things with timings occasionally, specially segments. Yesterday I stopped to see if I could help a fellow rider, who turned out to have a sheared front derailleur and a broken chain- no quick fix there!. When I looked at my strava the segment from Ditchling to top of...

    We have done this for the past 5 years or so- it was previously the annual Brighton CTC ride , and has always been a good day out. The tea and cake stop at Waldron is fantastic. We use it as our Cycle Clubs ride that Sunday, and usually have 10-15 riders mostly doing the 110km, although some...
