Today's Bike Ride

[daz h]

did 1hr 39mins for shap and back today. 28 miles of hell in this wind. a lot of years since i have climbed a hill like that. legs are totally trashed. i could hardly get out of the car when I got home. so just watched the grand prix. good win for Hamilton and settle down to watch Liverpool soon.

Well done Adrian, good effort . Mega windy down here as well. Your doing well. Even though the years have gone by your still out there this morning doing it. Thats good. If your legs are trashed you will have to give yourself a massage.
Keep it up my friend

Well, not nowadays mate.
I used to have a good massage from a lady in bees ton. Strictly professional u understand. She used to just close her eyes and crack on. You def need a massage after a tough ride like that.
I've become a bit sceptical as to how many masseurs there are nowadays. Some good but some just total crap.

You will have to do it yourself mate
Get some oil but make sure your legs are shaved. Good luck

Couple of hours from the Village up the steep climb on to Longridge fell a ride around the muddy forrest tails to Kemple end and back to the Village with a detour via little bowland
legs a bit wooden due to yesterdays thrashing around Gisburn forrest

I understand Daz. :wink:

Sounds like an excellent idea Daz!

Lbshops are becoming increasingly expensive nowadays and and a friend of mine has been quoted over a hundred quid to swap over a bike.
I've been seriously thinking about becoming qualified and setting up. The bike inn do great courses.

Last year when I bought my PX CX bike you could get it for £100 cheaper if you bought it unbuilt. I spent the £100 on a few tools which means that I'd probably be able to do most repairs myself now. I still need a few tools, but I reckon I've got most bits now.

Just under 60miles in the peak again . Did loads of climbs around Matlock. The traffic into Matlock Bath was unreal. Bank Holiday Mondays and they all go to Matlock for Fish and Chips and the slots. Quite a few bikies out today. Biked back down the A6 and there must have been 500 motorbikes come past me. Matlock is the UK bike mecca.
The Stockinholes climbs are bloody hard

47 mile in great weather this afternoon.
5000 ft of climbs and averaged 13.6 mph.
Sweat a bit on the A635 out of Saddleworth.
Great to be out:thumbup:
Holidays with nice weather are the business
