Just need to double it for the E2E
The lengths some people will go to get to the top of the Strava leaderboard
Do miles gained in warm sunny climes count?

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my wobbly bog brush using hovercraft full of eels

This mornings ride ....
A busy week, first chance to get out this week .... a gentle 30 mile loop around Worksop and Tickhill.
6 miles in ... at Todwick roundabout my left crank came loose... never mind, extensive tool kit with me at all times.
Except there wasn't !!!!
At the last moment i swapped bikes, looked like it was about to pour down so decided to take the BTwin and leave the SPA at home.
Swapped over the Garmin, bottle, pannier ... but not the tool kit.
Never mind, just a 7 mile walk home, and pretty sure a passing cyclist would come to my rescue.
3 miles later, in cycling shoes, at the top of Brampton mile, the figure of a fellow cyclist approaches, he shouts "You Ok", "NO" shouts I.
He went straight past.... right bl**dy past, without even slowing down !!!
I turned and sent a collection of Anglo - Saxon short words after him, and plodded onward.
10 mins later, a call from behind me.
For it is he ...
"Sorry couldn't stop, Strava Segment"
He smiled and produced the 8mm allen key i needed.
Nice chap.
Glad he didn't hear me !

Cycleruk took the top spot on all sections again this week totally unassailable.

Softlips made second place on all three sections
Oldmanonabike brought up the rear on all the sections.
The weather has a lot to answer for.

Vango is a good brand but I second the concern over pole breakage. If nothing else, source a section of ally tubing to fit over the top just in case of damage.

Softlips was working from home last week for once and hoped to do more miles than Cycleruk, alas I did not realise he was running a taxi rickshaw abroad somewhere
