I’m down that way in September to do the south west regions 💯 greatest uk climbs. 13 around exmoor dartmoor and cheddar. Aim to do all 100 by end of 2021 One of my very good mates is planning on doing 30 days cycling at 10 miles a day for charity. Pretty flat around Cleveleys I’d have thought?

I run past that graffiti on a regular basis. Out of interest would that bike have been chained up outside Sainsburys this morning? Yeah, I was at Sainsbury's this morning. But there is someone else with the exact same bike too (a couple of times I've come out of the store and thought some fucker had moved my bike ). I usually leave mine locked to the fence by the cash machine on the car park side of the store. The bike was chained on the road side not the car park I noticed the tyres and just remembered it being black.

I told him I've got another very good mate who's into cycling and suggested he got some advice from him. I've never seen so many expletives on my phone.

Which ones are on Dartmoor Al? There’s only half a dozen over 600m and all on the northern section. High Willhays and Yes Tor the highest around Okehampton firing ranges which no doubt is old haunting ground for you.

Seeing as how bike shops are considered 'essential businesses' during the lockdown I went out this morning and bought myself a new toy to replace my aging GT (it's nearly a teenager). A 2021 Cube Reaction TM

Couldn't say for certain, but as I was milling about and trying shit out they did seem to have quite a few bikes in stock. Guess it all depends on whether or not they have the model you want in the correct size. This was CDC up by Westport Lake by the way.

Old man was taken into hospital a week ago and yesterday they transferred him up to Goldenhill. So I decided to take him some clothes up, all the way along the canal to the Harecastle Tunnel and then up Reg. Mitchell Way into Goldenhill with a heavy rucksack of clothes strapped to my back was fun.

Dare not comment on this topic.
Cannock Chase is a nightmare of social distancing ignoring cyclists who fly around at speed and totally disregard everybody else.
Over and OUT.

A question for you cycling chaps and chappettes. I think that cycling on today's roads is very dangerous and I'd imagine that you have many accounts of near misses. A friend of mine ,lovely man, Steve Mack died in a cycling accident ( last person on this list www.policerollofhonour.org.uk/forces/england/staffordshire/staffordshire_roll.htm ) A friend of mine's son , 12 , died , being hit by a drunk driver in the daytime on a Sunday. But my question is this.... I was travelling back from Rudyard to Cheshire a couple of weeks ago and had to stay behind two cyclists, two abreast, for 10/ 15 minutes. I don't have a problem with that, because I think that many of the problems on the road are caused by inconsiderate driving, people in a rush and people believing that they are the perfect driver and everyone else is not. I consider myself to be patient and a good driver having done the Police Advanced driving course. But I think that the two cyclists had several opportunities to revert to single file or even pull in / slow down to allow others to pass....the highway code says that they should do this on narrow roads or in slow moving traffic. What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts? Two abreast is safer for the cyclist and it’s easier for a car to pass two abreast cyclists than have to be further out for longer for single file. The problem is this country isn’t cycling friendly so drivers get mad at it. That said depending on road we normally go back to single just to avoid road rage or holding up traffic.

I get that Sslop, but I also believe the Highway code is correct that in certain road conditions they should revert to one abreast to give others a chance to get past. In my opinion , if appropriate, I think that now and again , Farm vehicles , caraanners etc should pull in / stop to allow others to get past. I can see that cyclists cannot be doing this all the time. Obviously the bottom line is patience from both and don't put anyone's life at risk.

When training in groups do some cyclists go three abreast?

So for me the onus indeed is on the person deciding to make the overtaking manoeuvre......clearly it should only be performed if it is safe.....but I do agree with the Highway code that cyclists should be single file in the circumstances that it outlines. I've always thought that country roads are by far more dangerous than motorways( at least pre Smart motorways)

Much safer To be honest, I expected an answer similar to that, in one sense cycling is akin to a person walking in the gutter, perhaps more dangerous due to the speed. Its a shame that we don't seem to have the room to create proper cycling " lanes/ roads" I've got a bike, I'd love to cycle more but it's much too dangerous for me. It is one area that I would be hypocritical and cycle on the pavement, but accept that for lots of reasons this is not the answer.

I have just got a new bike. Trying it out around Cheadle/Leek area. Gears are not low enough for me around here these days. I struggle with any hill over 8-9%. Went out yesterday down to Froghall - up to Ipstones and the back way to Cheddleton. Barely got a third of the way up Ipstones Bank but got up the road from the pub next to the Churnet Valley Railway stn up to Ashcombe Park C.C. When I got home I found my max heart rate was 212bpm. This was way over what I should be doing at my age (I am 55). The Garmin App recommended 4 days rest to recover. Christ that's some intensity, good on you mate for pushing yourself but sounds like you deserve a break. I live in LA right now and tried a tiny climb yesterday to get to a work meeting but it was 34 C and I felt like I was busting a gut and didn't want to turn up all sweaty. Anyone got thoughts on building up heat tolerance? Not a big problem round stoke.

Anyone got thoughts on building up heat tolerance? Not a big problem round stoke. I 'bonked'** on a bike ride a couple of weeks ago in Bangkok after only 20kms. Temp was 39 degrees.C. I thought I did everything right (or mostly).Porridge and lots of fluids beforehand. I went out with a mate who is quicker than me. He is on a road bike 23mm tires,I was on a gravel bike with 35mm's. I was always playing catch up. I felt weak from about 5km and when I got off my bike after 20km I was dizzy,incredibly fatigued and nauseous.My mate said my face was grey. I felt awful. I realized that in the hour and a bit I had been cycling I had nothing to eat and only half a bottle of water. I stopped for 20mins and drank a load but more importantly I ate some energy bars and some jam on toast. This definitely perked me up. We abandoned the ride but I was well enough to cycle home. My recommendation is to eat regularly and often during the ride with plenty of liquids. I am bald so wear a ventilated Buff on my head under my helmet to protect against the sun. I use as little sunscreen as possible on my head to avoid it running into my eyes (I was genuinely blinded by this once when turning right at a massive road junction in Bangkok. I could see nothing and had to stop halfway across the junction under a flyover to flush my eyes. Cycling blind for 20m across a busy junction is not recommended) ** 20km is not really enough for me to have bonked but the symptoms were eerily similar.

It is one area that I would be hypocritical and cycle on the pavement, but accept that for lots of reasons this is not the answer. I know it is strictly prohibited but I cycle on the pavement occasionally when I think it is the safer option. I did just that last Winter. Having cycled up Brookhouse Lane and over the moor at the top to Armshead Road I got to the A52. I then used the pavement up to Cellarhead lights. I did this because the A52 from the top of Werrington to Cellarhead is single lane and very busy. It was also zero degrees C outside and there was still ice and frost around. On the narrow footpath I was a good 60m away when I saw a dog walker step on to the grass verge to let me through. As I went by I slowed to thank him. He was pleasant enough so I stopped and had a 2min chat. I explained that he did not have to step onto the grass for me. I know I am in the wrong and I would have stopped to let him pass. He wasn't to know that of course. 150m further on at Moorside High the pavement widens to about 3m wide. Another dog walker was about 60m away and she went onto the grass. To me it looked like she was following,or being pulled,by her dog. As we passed, she moaned to me that I should be on the road and she shouldn't have to get her shoes muddy just to accommodate me. All valid arguments on their own but in my opinion not that valid in the circumstances. I explained why I was on the pavement,why there was no risk to her at all and suggested that I did not force her to do anything. The pavement was plenty wide enough for both of us to pass with ease. I thought it better not to mention that she went on to the grass verge to follow her dog rather than to avoid me. The bloke on the narrow path would have had every right to complain. The woman was just moaning because she could.

The woman was just moaning because she could. I agree entirely Walter. It has reminded me of an incident when I was in the Police. I was in my panda at about 8.00/ 8 30 pm outside the Black Lion Trent Vale when I came across 4 lads, , ages I'd say 11-14, maybe younger, riding frantically in the road at least 2 , quite possibly all 4 with no lights. They really couldn't be seen in the headlights of other vehicles. After explaining the situation to them ( in those days actually the majority of Yong people did hold a bit of fear/ respect for the Police) I told them to walk their bikes home on the pavement. I may have said that when they are out of my sight I would have no way of knowing whether they would be riding on the pavement. For me, Police discretion, and doing the safer thing.......of course all the other arguments are true.....People have been knocked down and injured/ killed by bike riders on the pavement and " what if everybody did it?" In today's era of social media the Police have to be careful what they say, with many people looking for issues....it would be attractive for some to go to radio Stoke yo say " The Police have said it is ok to ride bikes on the pavement "

I bought an E-Mountain bike with hybrid tyres recently
It’s the best thing I’ve ever bought. The canals, parks and lakes of Stoke-on-trent are heavily underrated.
Riding from Endon down Cauldon canal, you pass through hanley forest park then on to etruria junction where you can continue on Cauldon or join the trent and mersey canal.
Hybrid tyres mean you can take road or off road routes.
Yesterday I rode the canal to festival park then ended up at Westport lake and harecastle tunnel.
Bloody brilliant.

Kidsgrove side is that colour from the iron ore, was told many moons ago that’s where “goldehill” gets it name from.. no idea if it’s true or not mind! Worth a nose of the Old railway Tunnel if your Westport lake side of the harecastle.. very spooky place and hidden away to the naked eye. Remember walking through it as a lad but sensibly now it’s padlocked!

But bike a right off Knocked off my bike in Stoke at slow speed. Loads of close passes by cunts overtaking Mrs knocked off by a speeding tractor on a country lane. I prefer quiet A and B roads to country lanes. Much safer Salop I do entirely sympathise with cyclists though. I've just seen a lorry driving behind a cyclist, only for about 10 yards , so close he could have easily touched him and then overtook, frighteningly close. Unbelievable.
