This Westons cider is very nice but perhaps not the best fuel for a 10 hour ride in the morning........................:confused:
Thought you'd given up drinking at home! ;) 10hours sounds a decent ride, have a good 'un :DQuote:

I'll see what's in the fridge in the morning. I'm fancying jam butts but not sure if we have any jam..............or bread :confused:
82 Miles, 4,600' of climbing, 42mph top speed, 142 average HR, 18.5mph average speed.
Due to the cider and lack of jam and bread I opted for the club ride and stuck an extra bit in on the way back. A bit mad with myself for not doing the long ride but I enjoyed it. At least my legs will have some life in them to get out again tommoz.
Awesome Ady, how far tommoz:eek:Quote:

Tuesday is the more social paced ride. My last 46 miles today were with the clubs 2nd best rider who 'had to get back' as his missis was off work!!Quote:

A fab 5 hours worth of riding, pushing and carrying the crosser around the Edal area yesterday :)
Good 3 Peaks training and I wasn't excessively tired afterwards... Brilliant scenery! Never been there before... :)
yesterdays ride was at the snowdonia enduro on my vintage crosser, had a bad ride due to bad choice of rims(modern ones) kept shedding my rear tyre on tight bends at speed ,I was loosing over ten mins a lap,
Had to give up at the penultimate lap due to lack of tubes,
I will be back next year with a vengence :mad:
Perfect course for a crosser and a good event
One guy got a bit upset at me coz i splashed him:confused:soft lad not fell running material
I was the only chap on a crosser there .
It has been confirmed that I can enter the ruthin mtb enduro in sept on a crosser,so there is a tougher ride than the the peaks waiting and with no road!
anyone interested?

A nice 50miles this afternoon on my Rourke
Headed up to Matlock and cycled up to RIber Castle (OOOOOUCH). Its bloody steep up there.
Quite a few Roadmen out which surprised me.
They must have all got fed up with the bank holiday D.I.Y ing and car washing.
No punctures since swapping the front tyre. But like Ady says the Mich pro 3s are a bit expensive nowadays.
Felt pretty good and had some great views of Derbyshire from the castle.
I did the Builth Wells event last year. It was ok, but not impressed enough to want to do another. Too many other people with less ability than me and no brains or common sense.Quote:

I did Mach 3 (plus an extra 15 or so there and back) in February last year and didn't see another soul for the whole day. Bliss! :D
That's a coincidence.... I did a loop from Edale as well!!Quote:

About 60 this morning out to near Malham. In tapering mode now.
Tapering mode for what Ady?Quote:
