Kind of.. But you may have issues with shifting and chain drop if not set up perfectly. If you want the big ring for sprint/downhill but be able to spin on hills with the compact 34 you might be better doing a Contador. And go 53/39 with a 36-11 cassette.

Hahah, there may be some truth in that! But thats the point of the article(I dont think I made any points)... If using Campagnolo makes you feel good, then you are doing it right... Although the greatest cyclist of our time would disagree...

A good article... https://humancyclist.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/tribes-cycling/ "You need not look far for divisions within the cycling world. Thankfully most are petty, some tongue in cheek, a little just plain old fun. Yet we would all do well to remember that no one voice is louder than another, one truth no more just than another. We are one and the same. Agree to disagree and remember to celebrate the differences between us as much as we treasure our commonalities."

Looking to get out on Tuesday night if anyone is around?

Trip to Kinross canceled so should be good for this

The club that just keeps giving...

I just might have to get one now!

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys! Have a safe journey

i carry one with me at all times!

Good luck Couttie!

That was funnish, Couttie trying to kill me! Had to sit in a bit We would have had a better time if I had of went the right way... First time using cyclocross skill in a TT, Oh my

Looks good, Route is never more than 20mins from Amaretto so all club a possibility if shorter versions done?

Sure, if I can fit in my Skinsuit!

Just throwing this out there?? Local hills, all groups out. Paris Roubaix coverage starts at 11am on Eurosport so maybe an earlier start. Maybe the committee could contact our sponsor see about some food? Maybe some deal a drink and pasta for £10 Guaranteed Sun, Beer and big screen on the Patio or my name isnt Roger De Vlaeminck. Route could be the 10 hardest hills in the area... ?? My pick would be Hazelwood Road(Hell)

Should be out

Ah I can't make it as I have an Audax... this is very unfair as I would like to ride it but am doing something else! Can we please change it for me!

Has to become an annual ride! rude not to

PBP is only 1200km my mistake... see I have already saved you 400km

Yeah I think that's the idea... suppose thats part of the fun, finding out how your body copes without sleep on long rides. I think we may be now doing this 600 instead due to Holidays etc. on the 8th of Jun 6:00 am from North Kessock, Inverness The North Coast Classic 600. I have entered the Ponteland one already but doubt I will ride two 600s in a week

supposedly the 400s are harder than the 600s... not sure how that works???

Good JWCC, Jets and PVCC turnout for the Don Smith ride... thanks for all the help! Looked like a fun but tough ride !

Hmmm after doing more research it will charge my Garmin about 10 times... I can just follow DavieB at night

I think DavidC is getting a SON dynamo/hub/wheel with usb with not much drag= 1 meter of extra elevation for every km(but over 1200km that equates to 1200m extra elevation. I will stick with 10000mAh Battery with USB port which can charge garmin about 50 times I will use it to charge my lights during day and will have a bag drop with new battery/supplies somewhere on route. The memories of my old 80's dynamo will prevent me from ever using one again, no mater how good they say they are
