Adventures by bike.
Keen long distance cyclist (Audax) with a bit of parkrun for fun.
Not something I can help you with. I have a Fixie but haven’t touched it for a year and can’t remember what gearing it runs.
I know gearing is a mine field though

You are the 5th highest placed woman in the Uk which is an amazing effort.
Also 62 points is still mental, an RRtY and SR are 31 points, and I’d suggest that in the Audax Gold standard so to have doubled that is brilliant work

Careful. With running you aren’t supposed to increase distance more than 10% each week to avoid injuries.
Well done though, but also sod that

Maybe one day. It’s a bit of a trek from Essex though 🤣

Brentwood this morning was trails the whole way round and I quite enjoyed it. But I suspect that’s only because it was dry. Give it another month or so and I’ll be looking for tarmac ones.. preferably flat

Thank you Marshall 👏👏
It’s really something I should do as well

I did one in the Netherlands last year while cycle touring and they did the briefing in English, it’s so nice.
Sorry to hear the fall knocked your confidence, I’m sure it won’t take long to come back.

Nice, very jealous

There were 10 starters. So not many. Dean the organiser did say it wouldn’t work at the weekend due to the extra traffic around Robin Hood bay and Whitby.
Tom Jackson runs Wye Wednesday, only in PBP years and that always attracts big numbers

It was my first time riding up there. I was lucky with the weather, the views and roads were so nice

Yes I agree, they are not good for the planet and I don’t use co2 for that reason. For now I will stick with my proper frame pump which gets the job done. But I was impressed with the mini pump I saw being used, I can see why lots of people are buying them

Having seen one be used recently I’m actually sold on them, much better than one use co2 canisters.
I haven’t bought one yet but I probably will when they come done in price
