    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Just spent most of the day so far doing bike maintenance....o/h thought it highly amusing that I was scrubbing the wheels with an old toothbrush, then went mad another t-towel got wrecked...oopsie!

    Anyway having a rest now as am about to launch the thing as can't get the rear gear lever to play properly after adjusting the cables to sit under the bar tape I've just redone

    All I need now though is those deep rim wheels... oh and to get the bib tights on and go for a ride hopefully out early evening.

    Al...you got that bike yet?

    saw a guy last sunday on a bike with Pink cables so on the hunt for some of those!!

    Just back from a speedy 50 miles....may as well have been on a fixie, no free speed what so ever the price of living in the flat lands.

    Came to a grinding halt up the drive and almost fell off the legs are that knackered, not a bad ride 2 and a half hours all in.

    good good Toffs, I'll pack the cushion away again!

    Still not really recovered from last weeks 110 although at least it's not been as God damn windy all quiet on the roads of Lancashire this evening.....everybody seemed to be in the beer gardens of the many pubs I whizzed passed

    would love to join you guys on your welsh tour but I'm rapidly running out of weekends

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    110 miles Emms, top stuff, now does that qualify for the Daz challenge or was it a flatland stomp??

    And.......if you can't do the whole thing just come for a day.....or two...
