Steve Large I am watching you ...stay away from those Macaroni cheese pies!!

It's difficult to find an Apidura review that isn't written by one of their brand ambassadors; http://www.cyclinguk.org/sites/default/files/file_public/201511022.pdf CTC commissioned me to write this I never heard a word from Apidura and am not a brand ambassador. I like their kit a lot and having ...

Done

No pushing in Spain and felt fine on return. It has happened out if the blue which is weird.

Thanks, hopefully I can still cycle with it?

Which insole specifically did you use?

Woke up this morning, got out of bed and can hardly walk due to real pain in my heel on base of foot on left hand side. It is not there is I walk on tiptoes. Anyone else had similar and is this the dreaded "plantar fasciitis"? I cannot see any bruising or obvious signs of damage on the foo...

Well done Richard I enjoyed that having ridden 2/3rds of the route in October. I had to divert off route at Mach due to a rally so stopped at Llanwrtyd Wells as I would not be able to claim a completion. I can echo the point you make about some demoralising sections. Some of these were probably more...

Last week 9 of us bravely rode across Spain using a fantastic route created by pistonbroke. Big write up to follow but here are my pictures

Apologies for poor quality of those taken whilst riding and also the picture of Andy B in his night time skinsuit.

3 gates and 1 e-fence ... if you'd ridden it and not taken the diversion......

Brilliant route by Duncan, thoroughly recommend anyone else have a go.

Do I eat it or sprinkle on shoes

I'm sat at Bristol airport waiting for lift home after a brilliant nine days in Spain. Feet got wet a few times and also bloody hot. So consequently my MT71 shoes are minging...really bad, so bad I might need to go and sit somewhere else from myself. Is there anything anyone has done to mitigate thi...

The hostel contingent will suffer. Out till 6am last night.

sub standard I've joined the hotel crowd, but a Rufus rescue justifies

Shall I shame the hotel contingent. Guesses who?

Dave calling from some village in the middle of nowhere. Utterly fecked after a long day. Tough riding but shed loads of variety. So far all we have eaten is egg in baguette. Injuries to date are a mashed arm, swollen plums and a face that got slashed in the showers. Snoring is off the scale. We've ...

1. Stuart and Dee always put on a top notch event. 2. Don't choose the windy road with no cars on it just after ordering a coffee and breakfast for the road - stick to the main road and some traffic queues so you can consume without spilling. 3. Wet fields on a slope are fine in a BMW (because Dee ...

Can't be any worse than the Italians on Torino-Nice running the Gatorskin 28mm tyres.

MT71 great shoes. I use on road and mtb and they have a nice Vibram sole for HAB

Thank you once again Stu and Dee

And thanks to Matt and Taylor for helping drag my van out of the field.

Struggling to decide on which profanities to bring with me to WRT

Was thinking "f**k", "tw*t" and "w*nker" would be enough but looking at the BBC Website this morning it seems I might need a "b**lock" as well?

In the unlikely event of anyone else living in Swindon I am leaving early Saturday morning now and can pick up/return one other, 2 at a huge squeeze in my car.

Hoping to make it Friday for food and car park camp
