Riderific: November 2011

http://riderific.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

A bloke who rides bikes. Friday, 4 November 2011. Road to recovery - shadow training. Well I did it. Last Sunday at Mistley, I put the crash at Basildon behind me and raced again in the Eastern Cyclocross League. Mistley isn't the easiest of courses, in fact its a bit of a beast, but I had to start somewhere and this was my club's promotion. With a couple of espressos and a belly full of ibuprofen and paracetamol I knew I could get through it. Packed and ready to go. Fin looking a bit Belge.

Riderific: October 2011

http://riderific.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

A bloke who rides bikes. Thursday, 27 October 2011. Following my 'incident' at Basildon a couple of weeks ago I found myself needing a new front wheel. To be more accurate, I destroyed my old wheel - a trusty, Mavic MA3 rim on Deore hub with the manliest of spokes - a heavyweight that was built for 'cross. A clubmate, Tony Sheppard, mentioned to me that Planet X were selling pairs of CX wheels for £99 - this got me looking at the budget options. Despite the massive increase in sales of CX bikes and growt...

Riderific: July 2011

A bloke who rides bikes. Friday, 29 July 2011. Solo Touring - East Anglia Day 2. Again, I managed to set off later than planned. Breakfast, pack tent, check bike. Check bike. That’s the one that held me up – I had that sinking feeling when I noticed the rear tyre was flat again, although my first reaction was to pump it up and see how it fared while I finished packing my kit. Having called home, I headed off to cross the top of. The A149 might not sound like the most appealing road, but this was one of m...

Riderific: September 2011

A bloke who rides bikes. Friday, 30 September 2011. Cycle Show Highlights 11 - Cheap Viking Fixie. OK, Viking is not a brand I would go for, but this fixie caught my. If you dont want to break the bank, but want the fixie look, then it makes. Sense to take a closer look at this all steel cheapie for 300 quid. The finishing kit is at the lower end of the scale and I suspect the frame. May be heavier than Eddy Merckx after a Flintstones themed barbeque, but I. Thought it looks great. Yes, another cross bik...

Riderific: September 2012

http://riderific.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

A bloke who rides bikes. Friday, 21 September 2012. Its been a while since I last did this. January 13th to be precise. Following all the late season Cyclocross excitement, including a ride at The Nationals and some great (for me) form in the last couple of Eastern League races things kind of stopped for a bit. Once the clocks changed, that was it. The Evening 10s recommenced and I started hanging out with old blokes in laybys with pointy hats. They wear skinsuits too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Riderific: July 2015

http://riderific.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

A bloke who rides bikes. Tuesday, 28 July 2015. Sorry - I am a Bad Blogger. Apologies. This has become one of those blogs with a splurge of posts every couple of years. The first post of each splurge is an apology for not blogging for xdays, xweeks, xmonths or xyears. This time its an apology for not posting for xyears. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll probably put up a few posts - that's all I am going to suggest. Any more would be hopelessly optimistic. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Riderific: Folding Bike Time Trial - The Char Wallah Challenge

http://riderific.blogspot.com/2015/08/folding-bike-time-trial-char-wallah.html

A bloke who rides bikes. Wednesday, 12 August 2015. Folding Bike Time Trial - The Char Wallah Challenge. This is what can happen if you engage in a bit of light hearted social media banter with some friends from your cycling club. Brompton recently held their 2015 World Championships in London and as a new Brompton owner this year, I entered. My run of luck with balloted events (see Ride London, London Marathon etc etc) continued and I didn't get a place. At the start, riders set off at one minute interv...
