    @SamD well done mate a hot one as well, but if this is a challenge you know I can’t turn one down 😂 was it windy or not too bad? Considering I cycle pretty much every day and havnt done this in 5 years it’s probably the kick up the arse I need!

      @AdamC nah, the wind was fine, but the cycle lanes/traffic lights around Fareham and Cosham were a bit of a nightmare. Can probably knock at least 5 mins off that time if I can find a quicker way through those sections.

      Ps. Not saying that @Alex or @AdamJ have suggested that you’re competitive or anything, but I was also wearing a 21oz type III and UHR bottoms.

        Good time on your bike, @SamD

        I did this on my now stolen Cinelli road bike before I moved to London

          @Alex looks like I’m gonna have to up my pace and run a few of those red lights then!

                  I’ll throw another time in. The Sunday morning of the 20th Anniversary party I rode to the cooperage, paused the computer to hang out for a bit and buy a couple things, then caught the ferry back.

                        I’d recently done Ride London, so was in (relatively) good shape considering it was a few months before my 50th birthday…

                          Following what we were saying this afternoon @Alex, this was this evening’s run. Think I’ve found the most efficient route and was relatively lucky with traffic lights/junctions. Shaved 5 mins off of last night’s time, probably about as quick as I’m gonna get!

                            Tragic events at the Tour of Switzerland the other day - not sure what can be done to make the descents safer without nullifying a significant element of the sport.

                              Unfortunately, nothing. Some will argue that organizers shouldn't put descents near finishes as it increases the likelihood riders will take more risks to try to win a stage..... In this case Mader wasn't even competing for the win. It's just not possible to eliminate descending as you have to go down if you go up. And organizers can't have every mountain stage be a single climb with a summit finish, which would remove any legitimate descent from the stage profile.

                                Anyone have a Canyon Speedmax? Been drooling over the CF SLX since Ironman Vichy and would love to be persuaded that they are horrible wastes of money.

                                  @Nik absolutely horrible bike! Too much useful storage, too aero, too fast. Absolutely not worth it 😂

                                  I don’t own one but basically everyone around me. I rode one once and I fell in love. If I will commit to Triathlons or even Duathlons only, that’s the one for me to get. Value for money is great if you ask me.

                                      I have a Canyon MTB. Direct to consumer pricing makes them easily the best specced bikes at every price point. Only issues I've ever heard of someone having with a Canyon were with the newest Aeroad, and Canyon has since figured out solutions to those issues.

                                        I’m kicking off my nth attempt at cycling to keep fit/healthy. We’ll see if I stick to it this time…
                                        20 km at a very soft pace; hilly area; mostly paved, with approx 10% gravel or sandy terrain.
                                        2 hours was my time…in my defense it was midday with 30 deg C and 92% relative humidity.

                                          Speaking of Canyon, Valteri Bottas (F1 pilot) rides one. This looks like a casual ride but he races.
