    I have loads of trees on my property, so a limitless, endlessly replicating supply of firewood. I'm thinking about maybe a steam powered generator. Now, wood into heat, heat into steam, steam into kinetic energy to drive something that electrikety comes out of, the "losses" involved are going to...

    Sydney group ride - - Saturday 18th August

    Agreed, but i think what full-throttle is alluding to is "cressy descent" being one of those purist meccas where anything other than "taking yourself far too seriously as an athlete/cyclist" is scorned. A bit like that bike track at loftus, if ya ain't wearing lycra, you dont belong.
