Tough ride today spent the 1st half of the ride battling against a 24mph head wind with several gusts nearly taking out the peleton! 2 half we had a few weekend warriors looking to flex their muscle push the pace on in the tail wind. on top of that we where struck with a broken chain, 3 punctures and a defective mudguard…

Started C25k 2nd week in Jan ran 5.4mile on Monday 3rd March!

Not quite as expensive as that Cloggsy I would be buying Rapha for that money.. http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=56822&categoryID=206

On of the guys in our club will regularly turn up on his 29er fitted with CX tyres it can be a bit disheartening when he even has the cheek to sprint for the 30's :) He just says that he is looking a good workout and its all taken in good humour I would do what you want..
