    When PCS had 18 riders
    When PCS had 18 riders different from the official startlist that had been out for over a week last season, I gave up using them.

    I only trust official race sites now. All the do is rehash startlists from official sites and get rider lists from teams tweeting them. Its nothing special. Anyone could do it and they value their site quite a bit….HAHA

    If you want historical stats, go to Wikipedia or official race sites, that is where they have grabbed their data from.

    “put herself through hell”
    “put herself through hell” =))

    Here are just some examples of people doing amazing things for charity, that you will never hear about, because “famous” people hog all the headlines.

    I thought it was very fitting, right at the end, she crossed the bridge, on her own, arms aloft in the air “look at me” style. Where did her support team go for that? Where was their recognition? The guy that did the whole thing with her, her medical team, the support crew…etc.

    This is only my opinion, I don’t think she did anything special. She cycled, swam, walked and ran to equal 500 miles. Well done her, but thats not special and certainly didn’t need an hour long program about it.

    If you don’t like my opinion, fair enough, but to call me a wanker and a tosser just because you disagree is bloody childish. Here is what you can do https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjMvp5iIYAAVRrD.jpg

    Using for what?

    Are you just cycling around, doing sportives, racing….etc

    Unless you give others an indication, you’ll get no feedback. The mavic’s look nicer when hanging the bike as a piece of art….but I guess that is not what you are looking for

    mid 40’s and Strava, where does that come from. I barely even use Strava.

    She cycled a few hundred miles, swam, walked and ran a little bit. It isn’t anything special, there are people doing things like this for charity ALL the time.

    Everyone just thinks it is special because she is a “celebrity” who gets a shit load of media coverage…

    There were outriders all over shuttling traffic, so its no big deal.

    As for her efforts, nothing special really.

    Your first sentence should
    Your first sentence should have explained it all.

    “cyclocross bandwagon”

    BOOM, there is your answer, while it is popular, people are going to cash in.

    Just like when carbon first came out, now the prices have come down.

    It is also because cyclocross bikes are perfect for winter bikes and commuter, this keeps the value up

    I don’t care to enquire any
    I don’t care to enquire any further, BLAME the pot hole, get someone to go get pictures and take a tape measure to get the depth and size.

    Then write a nice letter to the council, explaining how you have written off all your clothing, bike and helmet, plus your skin…etc and that you would like some compensation… 😉
