Joe Brolly is taking part if you'd like to cycle with him, although no cynically taking him out as he passes you over Scraghey, he doesn't like those sort of tactics ;)

Most people accuse me of talking thru my arse - today they are right, as it is my arse talking.

I've had my bike about 3 years now, and according to Strava I've had 19 runs this year, covering 480 mile. Not a lot I know, but you gotta take in age and other pursuits.

My question is this: I've had a gel seat since I got the bike. Should I take the gel seat off now? If I do, what is the benefit of using the ordinary seat?

Gel seat on a road bike? If you're happy with it why change, probably some aero advantages to be had if you step it up. I've a recurring saddle sore that the road bike saddle certainly isn't helping.

start to use this a few months ago, great stuff and no need for a gel seat

Metanium.

Use Sudocream for the sore (& udderly smooth chamois cream), does the job. I got a tube of hydrocortisone for a wasp sting last week, think it's the stuff the pro's use for sores?? Mite slap it on.

Weather looking shite for Causeway, might swerve it now.

Went head over shite at the weekend too, #7 i think :o

My humble steed, love it, although I will be upgrading the wheels before the year is out.

Fantastic performance by Roche today, 6th in today's TT, back up to 2nd over all.

Great ride by nico today, his itt had improved big time since his move to saxobank.  Second on a grand tour.

And a lick of paint on the fencing wouldnt go astray

What did that set you back BR? (If you dont mind me asking, cyclists usually dont!)
Is it carbon?

And either its very new or you take excellent care of it! The chain ring and cassette are shining
Excuse me for talking while you're trying to interrupt me
