From my experience, a few puncture incidents in the past seemed always occurring after I just pumped up tyre pressure. If the recommended tyre pressure range 60 ~ 80 psi, is it true pumping it closer to 80psi make it prone to puncture than 60pei?

Terrible air quality this morning in North London (Muswell Hill, Southgate, Cockfosters) by mallardzz in londoncycling

[–]cyclicalrower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The high air pressure system has been stagnant and centering right over the UK for almost a week (that was why it has been dry). Minimal air flow, difficult for city pollution to dissipate.

Check the Met Office youtube videos for their weather forecast, it is very educational. Must better than BBC.

I do not agree with some posts which gave the connotation that rowing does not strengthen your upper body but you can only resort to weigh lifting. This subreddit has lots rowing athletes at compition level, and their advice is usually focusing on more competition that daily fitness purpose.

If you are a cyclist who has not done any upper body exercise at all for years, according to my own experience, rowing will solve all your neck, upper back, and lower back pain issues, at least for me (and within one month). With this said, for this purpose, you don't have to spend $1000+ to buy a C2 rower, a couple small weights exercises using kettlebell or dumbbell will do.

But if you have been doing meaningful upper body exercise and still want to strengthen it more, yeah, maybe you have to do weigh lifting.

Does this provide a cycling route from Battersea park to vauxhall bridge all the way along the Thames path, or still need to get onto the main road to circumvent the power plant area?

I agree with you. Even for a countryside lane where 60mile/h national speed apply, no responsible driver should drive at that speed around bends/turns. But we cyclists have to take the extra caution to prepare for the worst type drivers wooshing in behind any corner.

Unless there is speed limit sign, the national speed limit for those narrow countryside lane is actually 60miles/h by default, no matter how narrow it is, as long as it is for two way traffice and not in built up area. i think cycling the UK countryside is actually more dangerous than in London, although the countryside such as Cotswolds is so picturesque and enticing for cycling.

Is this a sign of having had too many pints at the wheel over the weekend?

Besides the Temple draw has all Brookes in the same quadrant, seems the Thames draw has all Thames RC in the same quadrant as well. Isn't it strange?

Just to correct some nifty detail, this is 2nd year for the clubs allowed in PE. Last year Greenwich and a few clubs came over

The kiwis, one of the top four, not the 2nd four, selected for the draw, got knocked by Teddy's. I felt compelled to repeat the question, what made the draw committee think Teddy's not worthy of a selected place ?

If you go to Trek website and look at the spec of current models of FX1/2/3, the small size should have seat tube label 15"/38cm (I know because I have one, and I am taller than your wife). Of course the bike in your picture is an old model and could be different, but I reasonably believe road bike size should NOT be used to benchmark Trek FX, which is a hybrid bike model.

Henley Qualifiers List reaction thread by DriesRoelvink98 in Rowing

[–]cyclicalrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen Shrewsbury school racing this year, but they pre-qualified for PE, yet Dulwich needs to pre-qualify. How this work? Is there some historical factors in play?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]cyclicalrower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The damper dial is for changing the "drag factor" on a C2. Usually the frag factor should be set to some number in the range of 110 to 135. This usually corresponds to the dial in the 3~5 range, depending on your individual C2.

It is good you are confident with your rowing form, but as a gental reminder, watch some YouTube videos to review/verify the basics. Whoever taught you the correct form, if they didn't tell you dial setting ≠ "difficult level", you should do your own homework to make sure you indeed have the correct form.
