"Good to see there's a few fellow cyclists out there, I do own a road bike but very rarely get out on it, blasting through forests and over/down big rocks is much for exiting although I do like the fitness side of road cycling, not that I can do many miles especially with the drag from baggy clothes (can't bring myself to wear Lycra) " You'd look good in lycra! | |||

"Really into the Road myself and love getting out for a good ride every few days even though I ride for commuting and social reasons pretty much everyday anyway. Nothing better than riding on days like yesterday and today..nice and sunny but cool and dry for those longer trips. Had a great one yesterday from Bristol down to Weston super Mare and back and it was fantastic." How far is Bristol-Weston-Bristol? | |||

Had a great one yesterday from Bristol down to Weston super Mare and back and it was fantastic. How far is Bristol-Weston-Bristol?" Came out as 53.3 miles on the Garmin by the time I'd had a little detour to the bike shop in broadmead for a bit of air in the tyres as the rear was feeling a little soft. I went out straight down the A370 thru flax bourton and congresbury then over the motorway into Weston. Really enjoyed it and if the weather holds I might go back to Weston this week but go via Chew magna,Blagdon and Churchill but come back up the A370. | |||

"There is quite a trail sportive rides in wales, normally under the unassuming title of hell of the north or something like that. If anyone is looking to get back into off road riding look at these events." Think it's dragon ride or something done it last year and will not do it again for a few years. It was absolute hell on a bike. I'm not a climber and 60-70 out of 100 miles where climbing the descents where awesome though. Brilliant friends made that day | |||

"Anyone tried to 2.5" width rear tyre on a hardtail?" I use 2.4 Mountain kings on my on-one 456. They are great and roll fast. You just have to check your clearance on the frame to make sure it can take the width. | |||
