Further and Faster / Re: New bike for Audax from Halfords.
« Last post by quixoticgeek on Today at 05:36:28 pm »https://www.strava.com/activities/1378437082
This is the Strava entry for my first ever Audax.
Looks like I averaged 18.5kph.
I was running Schwalbe Marathon green guard tyres. I replaced them with Conti GP4k immediately after.

Rides and Touring / Re: Friday Night Ride To The Smoke (Oxford-London) 27-28 August
« Last post by andyoxon on Today at 05:31:21 pm »No FNRTTS ride in August. Reusing thread...
Just to say that it's been 15 years since the 1st FNRTTS AFAIA.
In 2021, for the FNRTTS that didn't happen due to Cafe Covid, train ticket LonPadd back to Oxford was £5, now they seem to be £23-35. Nice bit of 'gouging'.

Ctrl-Alt-Del / Re: Today's SPAM
« Last post by SteveC on Today at 05:22:51 pm »Phone call spam yesterday. On the landline, which usually means a junk call anyway. I answered it with 'Hello', there was a slight pause, then a computerised voice just said 'goodbye' and rang off.

« Last post by grams on Today at 05:16:54 pm »By the way, I've always been disappointed by the difference between my effortful speeds on a "fast light bike with fast tyres" and the other sort. On the whole, less than 1mph. Is it me??
Mathematically speaking, bicycle speed is largely a function of power output vs wind resistance (mostly of your body) and on particularly hilly rides power vs weight (again, mostly of your body). While the style of bike can definitely influence those things, for the same rider on two vaguely similar bikes they're going to work out pretty close.
Rolling resistance, bicycle weight, gearing, even the weight of a bit of luggage has a much smaller influence than many
