Details for Sunday’s North London Dirt 2 ride went out last night. Check your junk mail first but if it hasn’t arrived email us at [email protected] Its sold out though so I’m afraid we can’t offer more places if you missed out. See you Sunday 💥💥💥

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

Places are selling nicely at the moment so don't leave it too long to book yours for this years North London Dirt. We sold out last year so don't miss out this time. Sept 8th is the date. Follow the link for tickets and more info: https://t.co/fpAocYiuqj

Lastb years sold out well before the event so if you dont want to be disappointed get involved now. Obviously I was going to say that. ☺️

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

After last years hugely successful North London Dirt we are back by popular demand. This year there is a new course, another challenging 70 miles of Dirt, Road and Gravel.
Once again all profits will be going to St Marys Church centre N16.

@cyclingalps @sprsvtrl @cottydale @m_xl thank you so much. this is just what he's after.

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

A friend is riding in the Alps this weekend. It looks super hot and he wondered if theres a way to check where water stops are on the route. He's planning Glandon/ CdF, Telegraphe/ Galibier and Alp D'Huez. Any links appreciated.@cottydale you must know them all 😊

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

@Raouligan It's not the indexing it's the delay in shift. like it's T A K I N G A G E S to drop to the last few gears on the cassette.

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

If anyone knows a talented mechanic that can ACTUALLY dial in SRAM 1x gearing with the tricky OPEN U.P internal routing. Do please let us know! (London pref) Otherwise... next stop Shimano!

[The Ride Journal @TheRideJournal]

SBC did a fair job on it. As did Condor. As did Two Wheels Good over time. None of them nailed it. I'm concerned the throw of the 1x mech with the drag of internal routing means it will just never be great.

@VecchioJo The downer is that postage to the Uk is more than the book costs.

A whole load of fun had today at the @rapha cross prestige. Good tech tow paths leading to edge of Peak District steep climbs and descents. What could be better? Thanks to all those who made it happen #prestigemanchester #raphaprestige

Last Friday was spent in great company riding from St Malo to Caen (200km of quiet roads and gravel paths). Bookended by overnight ferries and it was a cracking end to the summer.
