Ebay has lots on but always better to see before you part with your cash so local(ish) is best. Our club has a sales/wants forum so if anything tasty comes up I will give you a shout. I posted a Pinerello up last week on here that someone from Rossy road club was selling that was in the price range. Private sale will be your best route/value for money. New equipment has gone up a lot recently with the crap exchange rate.

Might try the route again on thursday and see how things go, see if i can knock abit of time off from the first attempt and not hit that wall coming down from rivington.:rolleyes:

Been thinking about this 100ml bike ride Al. If you can do a 49ml ride on a hybrid you'll easily build up to a 100 on something better. Sounds to me like you'd just bonked at the end. I can run for hours on a few biscuits and water but am hopeless cycling for more than 90mins if I don't eat ;) You tried the 49er again yet? :)

To be honest, id bonked before i set off, even after 1/4 my legs where tired...i think i need a massage since my legs are always dead these days.

I was planning on doing the same route again this weekend but adding a bit on to make it up to 60 if i felt 'ok' towards the end...im abit snowed under with work at the mo so may do it mid-week instead.

Just an hour on mountain bike. with Mrs Stagger running.
Enjoyable evening.:)

No Ady, she came home, I made the tea (STEAK, MASH AND VEG + peppercorn sauce) then we went out for an hour.
She has showered and then I poured her a Carling:)

Loving Husband or what?

You guys make me look like a numpty:o:o

I need to get out more and as running is out of the question at the moment I may be posting more on this thread;)

Build it up slowly and you'll be knocking out 50/60 mile rides without trouble within weeks. It's like starting running again after a long lay off - jog/run/incease milage/speed. Enjoy 2 wheels Stagger.
