I took me sister (11) and cousin (lad,13) out for a short bike-ride yesturday.
They both seriously lack confidence and have no idea how to road works, but i think they enjoyed themselfs...they got abit muddy anyway because i couldnt resist living the country lanes for some dirty tracks.
YESSSSS! Definitely back... Had a brilliant ride today!
60 miles, 3hrs 38 minutes including one stop for a quick munch of an energy bar and being chucked off the bike by a silly driverthankfully, a soft landing in the MUD grrrrrr... so riding time probably more like 3 hrs 33... ah well! Lovely weather, brilliant views, fantastic countrylanes to ride along... Some flat, some undulating and some hilly sections, just under 2000 ft of elevation tackled, all in the third hour
VERY happy with that, even though I can feel my legs!
Two rest days now, before a ramp test on Wednesday eve...

Good effort Han
I did my 1st ride of the year this afternoon. Just short of 15 mile in just over an hour.
Rode with my new cycling shoes and pedals, never used em before always had toe straps.
Found them good when working hard but a little difficult to get used too when out of the saddle.
Okay just bouncing up the thread
No ride yesterday
Just shaved my legs and rubbed oil on them

Well just popped into mercian to pay off another £100 on my frame and forks.
I am very tempted to have the rear stays in chrome halfway up and also the forks chromed halfway as well.
No ride for me but just ran 13miles
I haven'tJust shaved my legs and rubbed oil on them
But I did knock off a solid 60 miles on Sunday, no big hills, too much snow around and I am not allowed...but some little ones instead.
I haven't

what
you aint done your legs. standards must be kept up
and all that crap about legs being easier to massage, clean if you crash etc etc is all rubbish.
we shave our legs to make themlook nice for the ladies.

Ahhh, Daz, well... initially, being used to hairy fellrunners legs, I thought the shaven legs were odd... Now I find them strangely attractive
Well, I went to the track and it wasn't great but I found out that my left leg isn't engaging, so in a way it was good. Now working on that...
Did manage a solid three hours and almost 100 kms on Saturday, followed by a nice hilly 50 odd kms on Sunday, knocked off in 1.45, 5 minutes faster than the week before... and the last ride I was on my own, so harder to maintain a nice pace... Managed to get the leg to engage at times, which I think worked
Turbo tonight, as the weather was not conducive to riding this afternoon...
