Daz,
How silly of me not to have thought of this before!
Plenty of space on the garage wall for the pic and I have a spare frame so...
All I need is a decent size picture of you and my turbo problems are solved, something in closeup please.

Thanks Lola, you are looking rather fab yourself today :)Quote:

Thankfully, I managed to stay upright, but lost my nerve slightly after that... New tyres are on order, as well as some slightly smaller chainrings... 50x14 is a little big for me at the moment :D
May I come round and test its sex appeal?Quote:

Though I think I need to do a few more miles first. Going out on my first chaingang for many a year at the weekend - dreading it.
20 mile blast on the canal again today before work.
Was really pushing hard along the canal, the the hills getting to the canal and getting back really killed my time. I was hoping to get under the hour mark but i was 12 minutes out or something along those lines.:eek: 37 minutes out, early 30's back.
Alot of work to be done me thinks.
Are you still injured and did you get a decent bike?
If you want to build your miles up without racing try
http://www.aukweb.net/index2.htm
they are normally on quiet roads in nice parts of the uk
Also is the cycling just to keep fit or is there a purpose to it?
Hmmmmm, keep thinking about shaving my legs. Not sure.
well I only did it cos I misinterpreted the fact that I could wear cycling tightsQuote:

On a serious note re shaving, it depends methinks most people just it for the look and it marks as a more serious cyclist. My belief (no doubt to be contested) about it making for smoother airflow is rubbish for most of us. Though the view that it helps road rash heal better as the hairs don't block the scab from healing has some merit. Grazed my leg last week and the scab is a bit of a mess due to my hairy legs.
I was.Quote:

Im sure ive heard somewhere that it make zero difference what so ever, same with swimmers?Quote:

Thankfully, my legs aren't hairy, so I don't have this problem :D

Also less problems for triathletes making the transistion from water to freezing cold rides, as the water disperses from the body quicker as hair holds it like a sponge and can give a chill
I also find it helps with fell running and xc running....I fell on some rocks at the Roaches race and the gash had less chance of picking up dirt ( from which you can die ).:)
50 Miles in the Ribble valley with unshaven legs hidden in my longs :) Quite nippy pre-noon and could have done with some gloves. Bike shop this aft to sort out some bits for the crosser.
It is indeed VERY worrying, taking into consideration the way we set off on here :DQuote:
