    Tea towels, now thats a good idea, reckon we have loads of those, not going to miss a few........
    Hurrah, blow for freedom today, got a lift to the gym, managed to get my leg over the sit down static cycle. 10 mins of gentle cycling!! The comeback has started. Only trouble was I could only cycle very slowly, the machine obviously got bored and turned itself off

    I tend to use all of the t-shirts I tend to accumulate from races/events... saying that though for the last few months I've been riding my fixed gear on the road and a singlespeed mtb on the trails so not so stressed about cleaning!

    Power test on the turbo hooked up to a computer... interesting but not very exciting...

    I use towels, t-towels, whatever comes to hand. I also stick my bike in the bath after a ride and shower it down with luke warm water to get the salt and road grime off it Obviously, it then needs spungeing off with a facecloth and drying with a fluffy towel...

    No wonder I live alone... 4.5 bikes in the very small house, a bike in the bath and all towels/cloths/t-towels tend to have irremoveable oil stains on them... Who on earth wants a woman like that

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    I nearly was splattered on the bike tonight on the way home from work.

    I cut through an industrial park to save myself about a mile (its abit of a rat-run, im not doing anything wrong just to make it clear).

    This wagon pulled straight out cutting up my path and then did a U-turn in the middle of the road and nearly hit me twice - First with the front of the wagon and then secondly with the trailing trailer.

    And they say lorry driver are the best driver!!!

    Yes Mud, as Mud comes out in the wash

    Oh and todays bikeride was a sharp and slippery and hilly ride from the garage into work. 5km out of the 15 were steady to steep uphill. I was quite warm by the time I got to work...
