Long Wheel Base Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 So I kinda enjoy these sling bags as it's less of a mission to carry than the over the shouler type bags, Keeps my hands free to be able to have a drink or a nibble whilst walking about looking at the bikes I cannot afford. Anyone else prefer these over the green "shopping bags"?? Oh btw, This is this years Cycle Tour Bag Yeah they are a good idea.So how where you able to see the bags so early on? Are you involved with the organising?
Cadre Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Cool idea. Much prefer these over the plastic shopping bags from previous years. Similar ones were dished out at 947, (in red).
DJR Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Cool idea. Much prefer these over the plastic shopping bags from previous years. Similar ones were dished out at 947, (in red). I use those afterwards as shoe bags whenever I travel and need to pack shoes in the same bag or suitcase as my clothes. Long Wheel Base and Vetplant 2
Bubbles_25 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 How difficult is it to change two individual entries to a tandem entry? Do we have to do the whole substitution process or is it just a matter of changing details? Anyone ever done something like this before?
Rouxenator Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Isn't tandem like bringing two horse power into a one horse power race?

Anyone ever done something like this before?I would presume a substitution of some sort would need to be done. Maybe try emailing the CTCT offices. Do it soon as once the substitution window closes I suspect you might struggle to convert it as they do the seedings after that. Bubbles_25 and Mikejk 2

Do we have to do the whole substitution process or is it just a matter of changing details? Anyone ever done something like this before?When you enter as a tandem team, you basically enter individually and link the two entries together as part of your entry process. The seeding for the slowest rider determines your starting time unless you are in the really really fast racing tandems group. I think the CTCT will be able to link the two individual entries together without any difficulty. I would e-mail them and ask them to do that. It shouldn't cost anything extra.

If you are in racing tandems, Come say hi.

FootballingCyclist Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah they are a good idea.So how where you able to see the bags so early on? Are you involved with the organising?I honestly have no idea which page it is that I follow on FB(Can't remember), but they posted it on FB early Jan already... I saved it initially to post it on here but completely forgot I had it, saw the pic in my gallery yesterday when scrolling through pics.. Long Wheel Base 1

Belgian biker Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Woehoew, weekend! And the forecast predicts a whopping 9° and sunshine for tomorrow. Time to get the bike out. 9° sounds great after a week of freezing cold. My knee is acting up. I recently noticed that I can't strech my left knee completely anymore. It doesn't hurt and it's not bothering. I just noticed that when I strech my legs, there's a difference of about 3 cm between the left and the right knee. I don't want to go to a doctor because I don't want to hear that I can't ride anymore. But I made an appointment anyway, better now before it gets worse I suppose?
