Road bikes for loan???
My road bike was shipped back to Cannondale today to fix a fault under warranty. Looks like I won't have it back in time for C2C on 6th March. Stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Are there places where I can hire a good quality road bike for a week? Or is there anybody out there with a back up bike for loan that might fit a vertically challenged (160cm) old fart obsessed with improving on last year's C2C done at an average speed of 25kph. Or should I just stay in bed and sulk (not a good look at 64 years of age).

Thanks. It's good to have an option. We don't know yet whether Cannondale can fix & return in time so I'll keep this option open if I may. It's very good of you.

Go to any Standish cycles store - request that you want to take a Malvern Star Oppy for a test ride, go from there - all depends on availability and what size frames they have , all you need to do is produce your drivers license
Standish Cycles - Mile End - they stock the "test fleet"
