30 I think if I can find someone to let my Dogs out
I did a ride that started from the same place about 15 years ago, it was good fun but I was fitter and about 5 stone lighter

30 miles really isn't too bad. My legs will manage that distance quire easily now, I just tend to get back ache if I don't remember to change position now and again to stretch out.
If it's wet it'll be hard going but that adds to the fun.
Need to sort out my indexing, get a couple of new tyres and brake blocks and I'll be good to go.

A mate has a Paddy Wagon. he loves it. Be aware that it may come with a flip flop hub so you can run fixed wheel as well. Make sure you know which way the wheel is fitted when you first ride it. Trying to freewheel on a fixed wheel can be 'interesting' to say the least. |

Cheers fuzzy. My knowledge of components is way out of date, so I wasn't sure if it was a decent set-up for the money. Sounds like it's worth it. |

Bad day for Wiggins in the Giro today. Looks set to withdraw tomorrow morning with Sky bumping Uran into the leadership. Makes sense, he was ahead of Wiggins in the GC anyway. On a side note, CRC have a massive sale on at the moment. Just picked up at set of new tyres with 50% off  |

Just picked up at set of new tyres with 50% off Bet Froome is delighted about that - if nothing else the war of words between Cath Wiggins and Michelle Cound should liven the Tour this year! |

This week I have been messing about on an Inspired Cycle Engineering (ICE) Adventure trike. A very different experience but a hell of a lot of fun, especially down hill, through hairpin bends  |

So, something I've been toying with in my mind for a while, thought this thread was as good as any to stick it in...
Dual-wheel drive bike? Anyone heard of anything like that?

Yep. Was drunkenly talking about it with a cycling mate in the pub. We couldn't think why it wouldn't be feasible (other than than having to have two sets of gears linked together obviously, so when you change one wheel doesn't end up going faster than the other.). I couldn't find any videos or thoughts on that usual den of mad ideas, YouTube. |
