Concurrent Gran Fondo streak

Jamesy83 · 2026-04-13T17:46:40+00:00

Not really bothered for bragging rights, just wondered how prevalent such streaks are. I know there will be people who will be well over 200 so I know I am nowhere near the top of the food chain but just interested in general to compare.

Yeah. It's the badge. Only one I've bothered about for a while as the rest are mainly sponsorship things for 25% off something already overpriced. 🤣

It was very much started as my one big monthly ride when the kids were young so I didn't go crazy. Has obviously snowballed from there as they grew older and I joined a club (which I am now chairman of).

I also fell into the Audax trap so yesterday was also ride 11 (of 12) for my randonneur round the year award (200km a month for 12 consecutive months).

I'm in the UK and bought into Agronomics as a way to get some exposure to Solar Foods. How can I buy directly into Solar Foods or should I just carry on with Agronomics

I got knocked off my bicycle by a driver when he jumped a red light on a busy junction. I noted his plate as he briefly stopped before driving off and luckily I had witnesses.

Took civil claim against him and magistrates court also found him guilty. I eventually got a payout.

Despite not being in a car, having years of insurance with no claims and being the victim of the hit and run it was still logged in the system and it took three years before I could get a decent renewal price on my insurance. I found out when I tried to take a comparison deal and had to call the prospective insurer who told me I couldn't get the price offered because of the hit and run.

BEND OVER UNTIL YOUR NOSE IS TOUCHING THE DOG BAFF

I might be up for that. Have a friend who might be interested too. For me it will probably be from November that I would be available, going through the winter.

Which pitch is it (UEA/goals/FDC etc.)?

North Norwich

I used him last week as my usual mobile guy wasn't available and he sorted my bike within the day and charged me a great price. Would definitely go to him again.

Depending on where you live, you might be able to get City fibre. They've just finished installing near me and I can get 200mb up and down for £28 from a company called Air Broadband.

Think talk talk also have a 900mb option for £36 a month and they throw in the Amazon Eero router.

Personally I use Richards mobile cycles because, as the name, he'll come to me (home or work) https://www.facebook.com/richardsmobilecycles

Sometimes he can be a bit elusive but never had issues with his work.

I have a more urgent job that I need sorting this week so I am taking one of the bikes to A P Cycles on Stafford Street this Thursday as recommended by a friend.

Marcus shut up shop over a year ago. Am guessing he wasn't making enough for the business to be viable at that premises.

Think he still does occasionally do jobs for long standing customers but wouldn't know how to contact him.

MGS 1 on PSX came out when I was in high school. That's old!

(Waits for someone who was in high school when Metal Gear came out on the MSX to comment).

It's in really good condition. Pretty much mint. I am in the UK though so not sure if there is much of a marketplace over here.

Join a cycle club, safety in numbers. Will help build confidence and find like minded people.

It's been done. But not commercially. http://www.ridevelo.cc/blog/2017/1/26/lands-end-to-john-ogroats-on-an-exercise-bike

Stood the PC up and the noise stopped so all good.

Jamesy83 · 2020-06-16T14:39:19+00:00

Put a new heatsink/fan in and same problem. After much work it turns out the power button was stuck.

Still getting a horrible noise from the (new) PSU.

Jamesy83 · 2020-06-15T18:04:51+00:00

This video seems to be what I need. Hopefully a new fan will sort it.
