Clifton CC

Yes, it's been a while. Allison's first job back in the US involved a lot of air travel, so flying for vacation wasn't an appealing option (now she's at an organization that works on parks and greenways, so she gets to cycle for work!).

Sorry we'll miss you on Sunday. Sounds like you deserve a week ...

Hi Cliftonites,

It's been almost 4 years since Allison and I did our last Sunday club run with Clifton before heading out to ride LEJOG and then moving back to the US. This summer, we're finally coming back for a two-week holiday in Yorkshire. We'll be in the UK from 23 June to 6 July, visiting ...

Rob's Dent challenge was indeed quite a ride, including a couple new-to-me roads and dales that were very photo-worthy:

Rolling over the top of Deepdale we all slammed on the brakes to stop and take in the view of Dentdale as the sun finally lit up the valleys and ...

With a new touring machine in the stable, it's time to sell my Surly. It's a nice stable loaded touring bike built around 26" wheels. I'm looking to sell my bike for £750, but I'm open to offers (A stock LHT sells for £1080 without racks, mudguards, or lights and some lower spec parts). Specs and ...

I had to turn back after only 5 banks due to a busted mudguard and worn-out brake pads (oops). Made it home safe and sound. Hope the rest of the crew enjoyed the other 5 climbs and got some better weather this afternoon.

I'm selling my Bike Friday New World Tourist folding touring bike. Bike Friday's are custom-built steel folding bikes, made in Eugene, OR (I'm the second owner, so it's not custom to me). The typical evaluation relative to to Bromptons, that I have found to be accurate, is that a Brompton folds more ...

Shifters have sold. Other parts are still available.

More info on the XT hubs: one is a FH-M752 in 32 hole, the other is a FH-M770 in 36 hole. Both are 135 mm OLD.

Time to clear out an accumulation of parts.

Shimano Ultegra FH-6500 32-hole rear hub (9-speed era, works for 8/9/10s). Bearings were recently repacked, spins smoothly. £25, negotiable.

I'm selling both leg and knee warmers that don't fit me particularly well. The tall, skinny British fit model just doesn't work for me :oops:

DHB Regulate Warm Leg Warmers. Size Small.
DHB Regulate Warm Knee Warmers. Size Small.

They are both in excellent condition; made out of a roubaix fabric ...

Hi Claire,

I'd like to take a crack at doing the hill climb and would also be happy to help out with the event, so if you can do without me for a few minutes while I'm riding, you can add me to the volunteer list. I'll be riding out to the start from the Square with the 9:30 crowd.

I just took a look at the map of our route. By my count, it looks as though the Dirty Club Run involved 18 miles off road for 27% of the route by distance (and probably about 50% by time).

Yes, thanks to Rob for a great adventure! It's good to be back out riding with Clifton.

I think all the work re-inflating tires with the mini-pump was harder on my shoulder than the riding. The shoulder isn't significantly more sore than the rest of me is today, so we'll chalk it up to getting back ...

Here are a few thoughts from a relative newbie to the Inters.

1) It does make sense for the length of the ride to fluctuate seasonally as daylight/weather make longer rides possible. I think Karl does raise a good point that the distances have ramped up dramatically this spring, which is fine for ...

Thanks. PM sent.
