Too many mentions of the word "Muslim" in that sentence for me, no place for organised religion of any kind in the modern world, it's an outdated ideology that should have been abolished a long time ago and is setting us back hundreds of years...

That was the whole point of modern Turkey- to set it up as a secular government and education system. People will always turn to religion but Governments should rule without God.

Come on man, lets face it these countries can't separate religion from government and vice versa, still live in the medieval times most of them regardless of what side of the fence they sit on.... all they know is hostility and they thrive on it and seem to want to take it wherever they go as well.....

 

[the54thvoid]

They can and Turkey did. But it's not legit to say 'these' countries. The Republican movement in USA is Christian conservatism. It's whole moral fabric is Godly (despite what the founding fathers started).
Our head of state is also head of the CoE.

I'm an atheist and I know I'm right but religion isn't going anywhere. Some people need it.

I start my 'invasion' of Dunwich with upto 3000 other cyclists in a few hours.

Its about 110-120miles. Its going to take at least 8-10 hours on the bike with a steady stream of tears followed by pools of profanity to get me sailing right to the very end.

On the upside the route is 99% flat, there are a few very very minor inclines so it will be fair easy'ish to keep the motor rolling. only problem i foresee is not having enough fuel for the engine to push me to the end but im hyped as hell.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Good luck with that.

Meanwhile ive got my feet up watching MotoGP qualifying.

I hope you have a great ride, may the wind be on your back and the rubber on the ground.
It's been a few years since i've done my weekly 100K rides.

I average just under 50miles a week just commuting alone. Would be a lot lot more if i didnt cheat and get on the train with my bike in the mornings before cycling the two miles to get to work. I do cycle all the way home though. I pay £2.50 a day for a train ride heading one way. £2.50 is still cheaper than £7.60 per day so Im still saving a lot of money. I avoid cycling to work because the most direct route is also the one with the biggest incline and going around it just means taking a lot lot longer to get to work and i cant be arsed to get up earlier just so i can slowly pedal my way up the hill for 15mins just so I arrive on time. I dont get paid enough for that.

Some wise words from our new PM

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well..... 120miles wasnt as much of a bitch as i thought. Sure my butt is sore from being in the saddle for so long but i finished around 8am give or take a few mins..... 12hrs...

 

[dorsetknob]

Average of 10MPH then
next year Tour de Froggyland

[FreedomEclipse]

Average of 10MPH then

Trust me, There were parts of the route that were down hill and when i say DOWNHILL i mean i was hitting close to 30mph just freewheeling and tucking myself in to be more aero. There were MANY parts of the route like that and for quite a few of them i wasnt able to really hit max speed because of other cyclists in front of me. The 'most hilly' parts came 30miles on from the end. After you've hauled ass for 80. These hills will wreck you and i found myself walking up a few of them hills. The hills made reaching the finishing point even more of an achievement.

Honestly though. It was quite an experience. After my friend decided to call it a day near Chelmsford. I was pretty much flying solo for nore of the trip. I hooked up with a few groups,namely a French one but they took me for a ride by having me always in front and the rest drafting me to save their energy. I powered on and left them behind.

Due to arranging pick up to take my friend back to london i ended up pretty much being at the back of the pile but there were loads more stragglers behind me who arrived not long after i did.

I think i saved myself a lot of pain by drafting some of the more pro cyclist out there who were there as part of a club run. But the problem with that is my endurance in general is pretty shitty and i dont have the sustain to stay with that group so drop out to feast on energy bars and gels before pushing off again. Occasionally the smaller groups that i drafted end up running out of steam not far off from where i dropped out of formation so I wizzed past them

Most important thing when on long rides is eating regularly.

The main bulk of my luggage was just bananas, high carb snack bars and water. Total weight of luggage was about 6kg,

Sounds like a fun ride, are you planning on doing it again?

Rumor has it that FOODBIKES used to be quite a regular thing to be seen on that event given the fact that the route is mainly flat.

However I saw none of these, I did not see any crazy 'frankenstein' bikes either or boris bikes for that matter. However I did see a lot of people with christmas lights and LED strips on their bikes and helmets.
