Thanks Stat, the ride the other day is a good reminder for me to fuel up properly. Her in doors has just made a batch of homemade flapjacks.

In an unusual move for me, ive crammed all kinds of fruit and seeds into these bad boys.

Airbag helmets....imagine one of these going off on a tricky descent....perhaps still a bit of R&D needed!?

As t'thread is here, I'll ask this early.
Chaps, how is 2015 shaping up when compared to 2014?
I thought I was doing well until I looked at [MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION]'s comparison (oh how I like to chuckle at your Wednesday route!! and a
from earlier)
I just have one more simple milestone to attain, and am very happy with my year.

Alf Engers was the first guy to do the 25 mile time trial at an average of 30 mph - long before skin suits etc.
We sent 3 photographers along to meet him and shoot him. The results are on display here.
Remarkable chap.

Government backs British bid for UCI Road World Championships

"Following the success of hosting London 2012 and the Rugby Union World Cup the government will support the ambition to host the cycling Road World Championships and 2021 Rugby League World Cup in the Northern Powerhouse. "
I wonder if they'll race round Goodwood, again.

Anyone going for a pre-football leg stretch, tomorrow morning?
I doubt I'll be able to make it all the way over to Brighton and back, but can meet up at Coombes or Washington.

MTB or road?
I think you already know the answer to that, don't you.

I've quietly chuckled to myself for the last 1/2 hour as it happens.
It certainly was a lovely morning.
There's not much better than getting a good ride in during the best part of the day.
I even found a good Lezyne back light flashing at me through Worthing.
It took a couple of seconds for me to register what it was, stop, get off, and clip clop back down the road.
All the while telling the 2 cars behind, 'don't run it over'.
Blimey geeks that was fun.
It would have been rude to not ride along Littlehampton seafront with a tail wind.
I ran out of gears on 52/11, my cadence peaked at 115 rpm, speed 36.2 mph, and I'm still only 8th on the leaderboard
Great fun although the 90 degree bend at the end was not for the faint hearted.

Good stuff!
A couple of side roads had vicious crosswinds coming off them on the commute home today. Glad I ain't got the money for those fancy deep rim carbon wheels or else I would have probably come a cropper today.
We had the same, within 20 yards of the big effort we hit a massive crosswind wall that was funneled by blocks of flats.
We both got thrown right across the road, fortunately there wasn't any oncoming traffic.

Interesting commute westwards this morning. Particularly over the cliffs between Ovingdean and the Marina. The wind felt like it was gonna pick me up and deposit me in the middle of the dual carriageway.
I don't think I pedalled on the way home...
