Pearl Izumi Elite, the palms
Pearl Izumi Elite, the palms are still white, but the overall appearance is less white than it used to be (new model)

I have the Team version with 28mm slicks on. It’s a great bike for long distance rides very comfy and pretty quick too. My only advice would be to ride it a lot and have your local bike shop service it, I don’t trust Halfords one bit in that respect.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 which I use running and cycling. No problems whatsoever logging rides although if I sort my rides by top speed there are several the unbelievable side of 55 mph. I’ve used it walking too.
It must be over 3 years old now, the charge sometimes only lasts 4 hours but I have a Duracell pocket charger that does a nifty job of recharging it on a couple of batteries. Hoping it will log an all day ride next month.I have one of these, used it for years bought 2005 had some issues. However if you contact Garmin and mail it to them with a problem for about £50 they will send you a refurbished one. I’ve had 2 refurbs both seemed brand spankers.

Judge Ralls described the accident as “a momentary lapse” on Whitmarsh’s part, the consequences of which were appalling, and she would have to live with it.
“I would not be surprised if it did not keep her awake at night.”
I wonder what the Mitigating factors were?
Love it how the paper states
Love it how the paper states “he collided with her blue Audi”

The only time I’ve lost weight from exercise whilst eating whatever I wanted was during military basic training…and that was a stupid amount of running about! Outside of that diet changes are the only thing that makes a difference unless your exercise regime resembles something Royal Marine like. Got picked up for high cholesterol s few years ago and had to go ‘cold turkey’ on sat fats for 3 mths to see what effect it had. Small drop in cholesterol but I lost a stone in a month. Some of the foods I cut out (eg cheese) I manage to generally avoid so my weight went up a bit, but not back to the original level.Nothing like the Commando Phase for shedding pounds, even when countered with a large Dutchies!

I was a few car lengths back, in rush hour traffic had I gone much slower and held back I would have been getting grief from the drivers behind me, yes in an insurance type claim I would be at fault, it’s bloody annoying that they didn’t signal properly and were too busy trying to drop someone off to worry about other vulnerable road users, had they performed the mirror signal manoeuvre process, this would have been avoided.Just bought my 3rd Boardman CX Team in 15 months, one nicked from a “secure bike locker” not insured and work pulled the “at your risk” card, That was the only place I left had ever left it, locked in the SBL. One written off, and hopefully 3rd time lucky. Halfords have a great deal on 15% off plus my British Cycling Membership 10% equals a pretty good deal.
They did say they would pay
They did say they would pay for the damage, but it appears the frame and forks are a write off, along with some components, not sure he will want to cover the £900 quid cost of the bike, ps the wheels on the Boardman CX team are strong a fcuk, no damage at all to them!
There was oncoming traffic, I
There was oncoming traffic, I had only just pulled out of the cycle lane as it ends temperately, in the hope that if he did turn left I would avoid a left hook incident.
the problem was the car
the problem was the car stopped on a crossroads, I understand what you are saying but even with the lack of signals etc had they carried on and actually turned I would have missed them. the Itchin Bridge is reasonably steep, so you are always going to carrying speed, I had just started to accelerate again as they were already at the junction.
Should have mentioned he
Should have mentioned he basically stopped on the junction as he was dropping someone off. I was also fully hi vizd up with a lezyne XL superdrive flashing away and Cree solar storm flashing away.
