Car looks high AF to begin with

Looks awful as per

15kmh ain’t nothing to sneeze at

Sauber pit stops especially were good! Remember they kept dropping bits last season? They had some super quick stops today. Love to see it

Seems pretty fair. The f2 race yesterday shows you what else could happen

I am prepared to treat p3 as p1 for the purposes of today. Stupidly swapped Ferrari out for Mercedes in my fantasy this week…

OK great, that sounds pretty good for your saddle height then! Easiest way to change your riding position from there is with your stem and handlebars, I wouldn’t mess with the fork itself.

If you want to be more upright you can try a stem that’s shorter and has some rise to it, to bring the bars higher and closer to you. There’s all kinds of different handlebars that have rise to raise your riding position as well. Bike shop can advise on that if it’s something you aren’t comfortable doing yourself.

But to be honest 45° is a fine angle, so unless you’re finding it really uncomfortable or it’s hurting your hands or wrists, I’d say your bike fit is probably OK!

Another thing to review is your riding position and bike fit.

You’ll notice people on road bikes will have their bodies very horizontal which allows them to put more power in to the pedal strokes. At the other end of the spectrum you have a kind of Dutch riding position where the body is straight up. This will be inherently slower just because it’s more relaxed.

On an XC bike in the city you are probably somewhere in the middle of those positions, i would guess.

Then it is good to make sure you have your saddle at the right height so you are able to use all your leverage. If it is too low then you’ll be pushing more with your knees and you’ll need to spend more effort to move the bike. You want your leg to be almost but not fully straight when you have the pedal at its lowest position.

I agree with the other comment that if you’re already doing those kinds of distances, if you keep riding then your “bike fitness” will come together quickly.

A good enough reason to ignore Brave tbqh

The UK government’s response to the petition is an extremely long winded way of entirely missing the point surely? The main thing is offline games which should theoretically work indefinitely assuming the hardware and operating system is the same.

Although it does make me wish we could go back to self hosting fps servers, those were the days…

If he wins the championship it will all have been worth it. Although don’t forget that Rodin were caught cheating along with some other teams:

That AIX of Durkson is looking mighty suspicious to me as well this season. Drugovich and Pourchaire previously have driven “the rocketship”… Feel like Piastri was probably the last person to win it clean

This guy has been on a serious tear this season. Not all of it good but you cannot deny he’s in the mix

100% agree. It is not legal to run red lights, there is already a simple road traffic law for this.

It can be pretty bad to watch the amount of cyclists running reds at some junctions, of course drivers run them as well.

Thankfully it’s not illegal to cross the road when you want as a pedestrian in the UK, however. I think some leniency when it comes to cycling is generally a good thing but yeah, it’s illegal to run a red light, knock someone over and then cycle away so, on to the CCTV I guess.

Worked for me luckily. Picked up the BRP book. Haven’t cracked it open yet but I’ve played enough Cthulhu 7th to know the system pretty well.

I’m listening to the glass cannon play Pendragon but the system seems totally different (and very interesting!)

What am I missing?

Ah you know what, I’m sorry I missed that part of your post. I stand by my comment though, I feel like removing the GM is also removing part of the game but interested to hear your results!

Since you’re the one who made the post, I think you should 100% run the game for your two mates! GMing for small groups is the best!

Your post doesn’t include any notes about how you will play without a GM, so just go for it! Make them reward you with snacks and trinkets.

It feels like the only sustainable way to make this work is for Lime to foot the bill for all the council time they take up. If they cannot make that work financially then their business model is unsustainable. I can’t understand why our government and councils are so slow on this.

They absolutely should have to rent parking space from the public and insist their users use them as well, in my opinion. I’m sick of having to move all the lime bikes out of the bike racks which they don’t even need. Bananas!

You summed it up perfectly. Except as time goes on, Norris’s speed advantage in quali is diminishing. Piastri gets the championship unless the general team pace drops

The team stated fairly recently that it was “going to happen” at some point. I’m inclined to agree that they sort of let it happen this week, since the win wasn’t anywhere close.

My prediction was for Russell and Verstappen to take each other out T1 then Piastri to cruise to P1 and Norris to drop it in the wall out of desperation, so I feel half right.

Odds on Piastri to win the championship must now be climbing further with this dnf
