    Hey guys, my gravel beast is up for grabs. I will be sad to see her go after many happy miles but I need the cash... Please get in touch if you have any questions!

    Well if you want to race an ITT, yes.
  4. Sid the Sloth

    Well at least you know now that there is no point breaking on Bothmans because was have been reeeeeeled 2/2 times now.

    That finish felt sketchy, the cones were so close together leading into the final straight. Was not a huge fan of racing into that right hander

    I really don't think this is an unpopular opinion. I saw someone suggest a transition to more road bike TT and making the TT its own discipline. I really enjoy it and geeking out over the bike and position and stuff. But I can totally see where the argument is coming from and agree with a lot of it.

    https://road.cc/content/news/pidcock-tt-bikes-too-dangerous-training-public-roads-289857#:~:text=Tom Pidcock says that it,of the riding position involved. Interesting article. Spending time on the TT bike myself and training in the position recommended at bikefit with aero in mind it is actually pretty sketchy. Unfortunately I sold my IDT because I like riding outdoors and have time on my hands.

    If you don't have a team car I think doing the unstylish and riding with as much extra water you can carry is a must. I did the 158 and went through a good couple of bottles from the car and team mates and definitely could have had more - I felt the effects of dehydration in the last 15km properly. As usual eat and drink from the beginning but when you drink try chug twice as much as you usually would. A 500ml only lasted about 3 bottle cage exits for me. Definitely go 750s if you have, maybe a seatpost mount or even camelbak... It was rough

    We did a recce on Sunday, started 7:30 and rained on until 8:30ish on and off. Clouds parted and by the end of the ride I was burnt and so dehydrated I got home and weighed below 60 after two bottles of water in the car trip!

    RELATABLE

    I wish I had known about that gravel track up to the dam it would have been a gamechanger for me this past week haha. Must check strava heatmaps next time...

    I had a Defender and I think I am scarred for life from the experience. Now I just want something reliable and functional... Like a bicycle

    I have commandeered my GF's regular length caddy 1.9 TDI and I love it, and I have seriously considered getting my own. But I would definitely go for the Maxi if I had the choice. I don't think you will regret the extra length with bikes but for regular people the normal length one is very spacious.
  24. Sid the Sloth
    But how am I meant to change gears then? 🤨
