Commute every day, but nice to get out and do 13 miles. Needed my arm warmers, but was nice to take the quiet back roads as opposed to my manic ride in to work. Please excuse the massive phone mount, I need to figure out a better system!
Fortunately no head impact though I don't think. The dents are from my hip and shoulder. Maybe the small one up top above the glass is my head but the helmet shows no signs of damage that I can see(will still be replacing obviously).
New bike choices already being made and the Art deco collection Colango concept is really catching my eye!
eTap and my Carbon wheels and I think thats going to pretty much wipe out whatever the insurance company pay out.
Got a lovely case of whiplash now too. Hurts like hell!!!
Cheers Beetle. Looking forward to it and dreading it in equal measures. I've never riden in a pack, all my training has been done alone,so a bit worried about being surrounded by 15,000 other cyclist.
Did at least 21 miles yesterday around Dalby forest for the first time.
Did part of the black run which took us back to a certain point of the red route so ended up doing around two sections twice
Basically 3.5 hours of constant pedalling so not alot of reward my my riding style
looking to break the 3000 mile mark this weekend.. having started cycling due to bad arthritis knees....completed run Derby to skegvegas (106 miles) and derby to cafe ventoux (123 miles) august and july.. Getting a few rides off my bucket list as i turned 50 this year year...and enjoying every minute
Well done on that mileage Steve, nothing like a target to motivate. I failed on my target of 2k last year so something to aim for this year.
I see you are from Mickleover, a lot of my rides take me down the A38 or the cycle path from hilton into your neck of the woods.
Not done any riding, too cold! I have just signed up for the Derby Spring Classic, just the 80km one though. It's on 29th April so time to get training.
Don't blame you, its horrible out riding this time of year. That will be a nice test to start the season Jenks.
Most of my time recently has been spent on the indoor trainer. Did a Wiggle Sportive (New Year Resolutions - Aldershot) a few weeks back, only 54 miles but the conditions were cold and wet so not fun.
Signed up to do the ETape Du Dales and Dragon Ride as my two big rides this year. Need to be fit by May as a result Ive become very good friends with my indoor turbo.
After having done the Festive 500 over Christmas which was blimin grim, I've been using the turbo heavily since the new year, so was nice getting out yesterday, lovely weather (although def still thermals) for a quick 30km blast to bed in a few new bits.
Out on trails yesterday and today. My new Scott Spark 900 Team arrived at lunch time yesterday an hour or so after I got back from morning run. I just had to set it up and get back out. So probably 25-30 miles of trails between yesterday and today.
