Is there going to be a cuk bike race of something?

Have you ever done Lands End to John O Groats then Brillo?

Have you ever done it? I know OS did LOndon to Paris which sounds fun.

I was thinking about it - MrsBP wants to follow me and stay at spa hotels. After the brutal double next year I am going to give up running. Dallas has been advising me and reckons this is good Home | London Edinburgh London .

If anyone has any recommendations for long distance cycling (needs to be about 200 miles a day) then I would love to hear about it.

Have you got any cream?

Just got back from the bike shop as i was looking at a new road bike. I want something with a little less friction than my mountain bike so I can keep up with you.

Ooh exciting. I love my new bike. Did a 40 mile spin on Wednesday - fantastic. Will probably head out for a short ride tomorrow.

Mine's a cyclocross - at the mo it's got big (35mm) tyres which are good for my commute through the woods, but I imagine it'll fly with slicks on. Average mph about 3-4 higher than on my old bike even with the knobblies. Not sure how it will cope with steep hills - it's not got the low gears, so need a bit more power in the engine.

Try protein shakes. They will really build up the thigh muscles and glutes.

I almost binned the mountain bike last time I went out. Gears slipping all the time, pain in the arse. I can only seem to average around 8mph on that one and my other in the West Country is better. I'm ok for about 3 hours worth of cycling but fooked after that and just wanted to cover a little further and a little more friction free when on the road.

I do fancy London to Brighton at some point.

Regarding 200 miles for Brillo. Take a ******* train you loony.

Good idea - we could have a cuk group do it.

Up for that. Next year? It's June time - you have to register Jan/Feb to get a place.

First one there gets the drinks for everyone else.

I reckon so. I bet Dallas will be there - shes a game girl.

Maybe admin will get us cuk cycling tops for some advertising?

Do your air miles vouchers stretch to energy drinks?

Maybe we could get someone to drive a van to get the bikes home? Apparantly the train is horrendously packed afterwards.
