Re: Eurovelo15

Thanks to all. Just need this COVID-19 to disappear so we can all get back to normal. I’m planning it for early June next year so fingers crossed :)

Re: Eurovelo15

No, but I’ll see if I can find it. I was thinking of flying to Zurich and catching a ferry back to Hull :)

Re: Eurovelo15

Thanks for that, we are thinking of starting on the 1st June and doing the same as you, south to north. :)

Eurovelo15

Thinking of doing this next year, as long as COVID allows. Has anyone cycle camped in Europe in early June? What’s the campsites like? Full or easy to find space?

Re: Silly Boy.....Frozen Shoulder

I think that you need to be referred to see a shoulder surgeon, as soon as I was examined he diagnosed frozen shoulder.

Re: Silly Boy.....Frozen Shoulder

I tried all the physio but I suspect that once it's stuck then it's stuck until the knife releases it. The good news is that the operation is completely pain free and I was able to move it fully within a day or two

Re: Silly Boy.....Frozen Shoulder

I had that. Rather painful. Had a little operation and it cured it straight away and it's not come back. Hope you get it sorted

Re: Colombian team kit...

I think they're very clever, it's very good advertising. It's all over cycling websites.

Re: Unintended consequences

Some of the Hoy bikes have something similar to what you are looking for, although I've only seen black ones

Flat bars

I'm looking to buy a Genesis Croix De Fer but not a lover of racing bars. Has anyone put flat bars on one?

Very good. Don't think it works for everyone but it certainly works for me.

Re: is it possible?

I take it you've only done 40 to 50 miles in a year? If that's correct then you need to do some serious training to be ready for lejog. To do it in 9 days you're looking at 100 miles a day. It is possible so get out on the bike now
