Anyone else do the Velothon over the weekend? I know @Liefrich did! Brutal hot conditions, several of the WBR team I ride with on Zwift where there (23 riders in total) and some of them managed to get themselves in the front group. They where one of the teams pushing the pace, Frazer and Liam even 'breaking away' from the peloton near Usk and riding a 2UP off the front for over 20 miles. Liam finishing 9th overall! Amazing riding, 87 miles with nearly 5000ft of climbing in under 4 hours. If I decide to ride it with them next year I'll be taking it much easier! 
Somehow Frazer at the Velothon only drank 1 bottle?! WTF!
Good time to ask this question of you & @Saytan ... I may have asked it before, but any real need to tighten crank arms as tight as they say? Think mine are labelled as 22nM and none of my torque wrenches go that far, so I've always done mine 'man tight' with an 8" long allen key with a 'multi fit screwdriver' on the end (making it around 12"). I've never had one loosen and it takes effort to undo, but doesn't end up hurting me or bending anything (wrecked 2 allen keys trying to get the previous hybrid one undone which I had to jump on).
Also rim & tyre labels not lined up, pffft! Have you no dignity!
Good work and well done! Keep it up, obviously being a fair weather cyclist means you've ridden every day for the last 2 months or more?
Yup, utterly roasting in that warm wind which comes in the afternoons. Even taking my 2.4 mile commute easy I've been carrying water for a quick mouthful. Weirdly riding the same commute both directions at lunchtime I've not felt like I needed one!? The heat suits me better than I previously thought, providing the wind is slightly cooling. Really don't like it when the wind is warm!
Was hot when I headed out, was glad I did it in the morning! Knew I was low on mileage for the week so put a bit of an effort into a loop as I only had an hour and a half to spare.
Same! Utterly melt when the air is warm, but have not struggled with cramp like previous years in the heat, so drinking more regularly rather than huge mouthfuls is working well for me. Still 4 bottles and getting dehydrated in the 75 miler 2 weekends ago is making me plan for 6 bottles at least on the 100 this weekend. Hopefully the weather will be a bit cooler!

Wow!
Yup, my trick before was to put the bike in the turbo trainer rather than a stand as it was more stable, then like you, use gravity. Wearing solid footwear (workboots) one foot on one pedal and then jump my weight onto a long (12") socket wrench. I'd hurt myself previously with trainers trying to do the same thing and would probably advise doing it with wellies or something on as I ended up with a massive bruise on my calf.

Hardly outside the box, but takes quite an old concept, updates it and executes it very well. 13 speed!
Is that a ding in your rim or just the Mavic label peeling?
