Mark Beaumont - The man who cycled the world
Replied Dec. 29, 2009
Welcome! To the world of Dubman !
About Me
I always cycled more for convenience than sport. About 2 years ago i decided to cycle to get fit.My job as a storekeeper at Rolls-Royce was not particulary an active one , and i had noticed now i was in my mid 30's there was perhaps more of me than there should be. I try to cycle several times a week , weather and wife permitting , for anything up to 30 miles per session. I have done a few longer rides and my aim is to reach a 100 miler. When i have achieved this i plan to do coast to coast.
Now completed the 100 mile goal (30.5.09)

Objective: Bike and enjoy nature with chats and a pint enroute
Out of interest how many of you helmet wearers , wear a helmet in a car and if not why not ? with the amount of head injurys and fatalities you would think most people would ???
I must add i have been stabbed more times than ive needed a helmet on a ride.
Yes we/I take precautions in life , but some times i believe you cant take things to far some times , there is a chance of getting stabbed when i go out but i dont wear a stab proof vest. I dont wear a helmet because i dont think the risk is great e…

Maybe you should add it to your Xmas wish list??

Hi
I’m the press and media manager for Halfords and hope you don’t mind if I take up a little of your time.
I'm looking to identify the cyclist who tackles Britain’s longest daily cycling commute.
I already know of people who cycle 30+ miles t…
Chains stretch, for sure. A tension tool like this will show the wear, and you can find out about tensioners at Charlie the Bikemonger - the tugs / tensioners are toward the bottom of the page.

I've just got a handlebar bag, so I can put my laminated maps on top for longer rides!
I believe you can share your courses, workouts and saved rides wirelessly with other Edge 705 users, but I can't comment on this as I'm the only person I know with the 705 so haven't tried it out!
I also like maps and invariably carry a paper map w…
Rode up the Coombe Valley Rd Robert!
Can put you in touch with my brilliant bike mechanic if you like
A mate of mine http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=517472182&ref=nf does it in the States, here is his report http://orangbasikal.blogspot.com/2009/11/tweed-ride-personal-view.html
Ah-ha - so that's what was wrong with my 305! Garmin replaced though, no trouble. I confess for a fondness for paper maps, and since finding these on the Dunwich Dynamo, they are my favourite touring maps, with a map carrier velcroed to the bars.
Sounds like you had a good day! Go anywhere near Sutton Pointz?
Cheers for all your input, I live and ride in the Frence Pyrenees and there are lots of small car less roads to find so hope a Garmin will help me out.
I have a forerunner which as failed many times and some time i ride with my car GPS but its not w…
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a part but I am not entirely sure what its called, or if it even exists!
... or even if its a fault with my bike, which the shop is trying to cover up....
The rear wheel constantly needs to be adjusted in the fork…

Me too... not least to save the spokes in my back wheel!
Just a few days off this week so decided to go for a ride on Monday.
Early srart with a cold NE wind blowing in Dorset as I headed into it with the sun on my back. All the way to Puddletown via Woodsford Castle and then up the Piddle valley before g…
