No bike for 3 weeks and last night I decided to do a ride. 52 hard :o miles. Didnt feel good towards the end as the legs hadnt been used to spinning.
Normally takes a couple of rides for me to get back into it.
The climb up to Black Rocks killed me whereas a few weeks ago i danced up it:(.
This bloody cold didnt help either. I could hardly breathe.
As i cycled back to Ripley I nearly caved in and cycled into the Mcdonalds drive thru
Thanks Stagger and merry for a grand day out :cool:
Great company DT enjoyed our day:)Quote:

Please with that.
Didn't think I would have the bib shorts on again this year but today's mild weather saw them in action. Club ride ended up over Croston/Rufford way with 7 riders out. 63 miles at a social 15.5 average with a certain infrequent forumite missing the ride by 5 minutes!!
Just done 12 mile with youngest son.
Great quality time together, really enjoyed it:)
20 miles average 18 mph . in vest and shorts ! if this is global warming bring it on !!!
Around 70 miles with the club today. I did about 90 percent on the front on the way out and got us to the cafe at Scorton at 19 average. Got very social on the way back and I peeled off and put some extra miles in visiting a couple of people on the way home (more tea!). Very mild again - can't last.
Leg resting tommoz in anticipation of the ascent up Great Whernside on Saturday.
Just a quick half hour burst round local back roads.
13.8 average speed but all ups and downs. Pleased with it cause 3 weeks ago I did the same route and could only manage 12.9 av.
Oh and had Gt Whernside in the legs from yesterday.
Pleased with the slight improvement.:)
Will you be cycling over on Saturday Trevor?
Narr not up to that distance just yet Ady.Quote:

Anyone else on these here forums find Victoria Pendleton to be dreamy? I would find the prospect of a night in with her to be near on perfect.
I have just watched Victoria Pendleton racing and her post race interview on the bbc website. She is most delicious and tasty.
Ive met Victoria and to be fair she is a lovely lass but her hard work and commitment are her best qualities for me.Quote:

How do they do that with-out getting extremely board!
I just couldn't do it.
I take it you've never been a track runner either?Quote:

Talking of VP where did AlanT go to? Noticed he is not on the members list.......did he get banned for lewdness or simply retire?????
A cannibal?
And JB Pales crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Victoria Pendleton)
We've got two gerbils, and they don't ride bikes. :confused:
She is the most delicious and tasty apple pie I could imagine on theses here forums. I enjoyed reading about her "arrangement" with a man. It has made me think her all the more tasty.Quote:

I would have dinner first. Victoria would be dessert and it would be sweet :eek: ;)Quote:

Legs were a little jellied when I got off:eek:
And what exactly has this here to do with sweet Victoria Pendleton? She sets my heart rate to HR 10Quote:

Anyway went out on the Bike yesterday morning (I thought that was what this thread was about). It was a real challenge and called upon all my bike handling skills into the wind. I almost overshot a bend at 27mph uphill and had to dodge some fallen trees. I arrived home refreshed, exhilarated and very wet, unlike the others who wimped out. Forget turbos with resistance get out in the strong winds but watch it as the human beings in cars tend not to give you any more room.
There's miners on here as well, apparently.
15 miles and very windy ! good training thou . still no sticky vicky thread ?
What's sticky vicky? Some new sort of puncture patch:confused::D
Once got told off for calling a girl that in my class at high school ............she was called vicky and got chewing-gum on her.Quote:

I ride and race on the track in winter. I admit, it is quite far removed from Three Peaks Cyclocross, but it is a totally different sport! I use it to train for speed for the summer season, as every discipline on the track is short and sharp, even the points and scratch races. Mind you, 10 miles on the track is pretty damn knackering, at the intensity you ride at...Quote:

And on top of it being fun and challengeing, it beats having to sit on a turbo trainer in bad weather any time!
Just a quick 30 minutes on the turbo this morning before work.
I was spinning the crank at 95-100rpm should I be going faster?:confused:
